OCCUPATION

The Occupy London protests which have created a tented city in St. Paul's Cathedral are of great interest to me. I find myself in some sympathy with the protesters. Not because I understand what they want. I can't say I do. But I can sympathise with a crie de coeur which simply proclaims that a system is broken, without being able to prescribe a fix.
I can also empathise with the Dean of St Pauls in offering sanctuary to the protesters.
But the Occupy London bunch have now outlived their welcome and are abusing well meant hospitality towards them.
Why the fuss?
Isn't the answer obvious?
And provided by the protest itself?
Simply occupy Occupy.
