Activists held a series of mock trials of squatters at the squatted Old Street magistrates court today to highlight the campaign against the goverment's plans to criminalise squatting in residential properties.

I remember first showing up to the Bank of Ideas as a wide-eyed supporter soon after its inception in mid-November. Like so many other comfortably middle-class, college-aged demonstrators taking part in their first protest, it was appealing to me not only because of the building’s symbolic importance but also what was, quite honestly, a sense of boyish excitement. I’d been smacked by a cop du…

Occupy London protesters have been granted the right to continue squatting a disused Old Street magistrates’ court (pictured below) until January 23 – giving the group the opportunity to stage a series of “trials of the 1%” over the next three weeks.

The decision to allow the protesters to stay was made yesterday in the warmer climes of Clerkenwell County Court, where Occupy came to a…

Invisible Circus brought Old Street Magistrates back to life on Friday when a rag-tag bunch of entertainers were put on trial in front of a packed courtroom.

The sinister looking rogues were charged with such crimes as making children laugh, juggling, frivolity and listening to repetitive beats before being sent to the cells much to the pleasure of the gallery.

Happy New Year

A consensus was reached at the Bank of Ideas on Monday's GA to remove all residents who were not involved in the actual squatting of the establishment on November 18.

Invisible Circus brought the recently occupied Old Street Magistrates Court back to life on Friday holding a mock trial in front of a packed house.

The group of talented artists and performers had the crowd in stitches as they were put on trial in court one for entertaining people before being sent to the cells on conviction.

They later displayed their talents on the magnificant stairwell and co…

Join Occupy London at St Pauls and be guided by the Occupiers through the connections between Old London, the church and the economic injustices of today.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) has failed. In December, the Doha Round is turning ten years old, with nothing to celebrate[i]. Formal negotiations of the Round expired in 2005, without any agreement, and informal negotiations stalled in 2008. Indications in December too were that an agreement to liberalize trade among its 153 member countries was eluding.

Occupy London has been given at least three more weeks use of its repossessed Bank of Ideas space.

An eviction, another squatting!

News is coming in from the crew at the Peckham Social Centre that a raid has just happened there. Tooled up riot police broke their way in to the space without a warrant or court papers to attempt to justify the action and no reason has yet been given. The Peckham Social Centre has been going for two months now and has held fundraisers and community events. It's a squatted space with attempts …
