Comments from Designated Representatives of Occupy London:

Courtney: Thank you to the Committee for giving Occupy London an opportunity to be heard by the Council Members; there are a myriad of reasons why the occupants are in Victoria Park in political protest; City Council needs to ensure the safety of the occupants; the occupants are maintaining a family-friendly area, they have consensus on a safe-space statement and are committed to ensuring the occupied area is kept clean; Council Members should withhold making a decision for two weeks about removing the occupants from Victoria Park so that careful thought can be given to making such a decision.

Daniella: The safety and security of the occupants is important; occupants are in Victoria Park to take a stance for individual reasons; they are keeping the occupied area clean; they have the support of the community and small business; London is the first City to offer dialogue with the Municipal Council; the occupancy should be allowed to continue; City should guarantee the safety of the occupants and keep the lines of communication open; while the media has portrayed the occupants as homeless and dirty, there are well-educated people who are occupying the Park; some of the issues include homelessness, poverty and sheltering, but the movement itself is a global one about global issues.

Matthew: Thank you to the Committee for allowing the Occupants to attend the meeting; the occupants feel they have a legal right to occupy Victoria Park; they have regular general assembly meetings, twice daily and the tents are there for their safety and protection; a key issue is the “trickle down” economic effect and also corporate accountability is at an all time low and there is a great need to manage debts and loans.

Motion Passed
