THE MASQUE OF ANARCHY

'Tis to let the Ghost of Gold

Take from Toil a thousandfold

More than e'er its substance could

In the tyrannies of old.

'Paper coin - that forgery

Of the title-deeds, which ye

Hold to something of the worth

Of the inheritance of Earth.

'Tis to be a slave in soul

And to hold no strong control

Over your own wills, but be

All that others make of ye.

. . . . . . .

'And these words shall then become

Like Oppression's thundered doom

Ringing through each heart and brain,

Heard again - again - again -

'Rise like Lions after slumber

In unvanquishable number -

Shake to your chains to earth like dew

Which in sleep had fallen on you -

Ye are many - they are few.'

P B Shelly - The Masque of Anarchy

OCCUPY THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE

The Corporation of London have got an injunction from the High Court to prevent anyone from accessing Paternoster Square, the inappropriately named location of the Stock Exchange.
As this was the intended place for the protest action to gather and is a public space this is setting up a possible conflict between this legitimate and peaceful gathering and what are apparently privately contracted security guards presumably paid for by the Corporation of London. This strikes me as provocative and unjustified.
