Protestors from Occupy London Stock Exchange have been occupying the square outside St Paul's Cathedral next to the London Stock Exchange (nr Paternoster Sq) in the City of London since the 15October Global day of Action. Protests happened in over 950 places across the world - inspired by OccupyWallStreet and the wave of prior occupations seen across the globe.

Voices from London
It's worthwhile reminding ourselves of the optimism of the first day of Occupy London, as a friend and I went to interview different protestors from a range of movements - the collective 'movement of movements'. I never expected for solutions to be provided within the hours of demonstration, after all if expert negotiators like Eurozone leaders can't agree on how to save Europe from another financial crisis or global leaders proving ineffective on setting any global environmental policy, I understand that Occupy London will also face these difficult endeavors. But, unlike supranational decision-makers, infront of St.Pauls Cathedral there is hope and a sense of necessity that is unparalleled.

This positive, peaceful and proactive demonstration was a credit to all who took part. This video aims to capture the thoughts, words and motivations of the protestors so that more people can understand exactly what they stand for. From this impressive and solid starting point, and with the key issues clearly identified, there is now a great sense of anticipation for the practical solutions and next steps that those gathered can generate. Patience and support is key.
