Pics: Shut the City + #Sparks #OccupyN30 Strike

This morning starting at 7am people gathered at Liverpool st station for the Shut Down the City protest. Complete with a samba band and a massive banner reading All Power ToThe 99%" they set of at around 7.45am, taking the streets marching through the city to the Bank of England. Police repeatedly tried pushing people out of the road, but people just kept on marching.
