The camp is clean and alongside the accommodation are larger tents with information, welfare, first-aid, and &#8220;university&#8221; roles.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Paul tells me of the chaotic establishment of the camp: \u201cThe police were stopping us from going into Paternoster Square,\u201d he says. Corralled, the protestors\u2019 current spot was chosen by default.\u00a0 \u201cThere were a lot of police,\u201d he continues. \u201cWhen I woke up in the morning, I was really surprised we were still here.\u201d The police eventually withdrew the following morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We drop into the university tent where <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ted_Honderich\">Professor Ted Honderich<\/a>, UCL professor emeritus of the philosophy of mind and logic, is hosting a discussion; an erudite debate is underway concerning the nature of capitalism. Immediately outside the disparate aims of the Occupy movement are clear from the posters that now adorn the pillars facing M&amp;S on the north side of the camp. \u201cMore to life than money,\u201d reads one, whilst others variously call for defence of public services, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Julian_Assange\">Julian Assange\u2019s<\/a> release, as well as more niche concerns.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Defending the NHS is a motivating factor for some protestors for whom the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/health-15436685\">recent takeover of Hinchingbrooke hospital by Circle<\/a> augurs future unacceptable developments. David stays in the camp, doing his job remotely via a laptop from the nearby Starbucks.\u00a0 He\u2019s also first aid trained and works shifts in the camp\u2019s first aid tent. \u201cI\u2019m here to put pressure on the government to look seriously at the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tobin_tax\">Robin Hood (aka Tobin) tax<\/a>,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m concerned about the cuts in public services and especially the NHS.\u201d\u00a0He sees the Tobin tax as avoiding cuts that would otherwise be inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>A large sign outside the mediation tent reads \u201cNo drugs\u201d and suggests concern that some camp visitors might mistake Occupy LSX for the Glastonbury Festival.\u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s a problem about having a thing like this in the centre of a city,\u201d explains Paul. \u201cIt attracts people who are homeless or have addiction problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a consequence, a welfare tent was established with the involvement of two consultant psychiatrists. Paul says this required some consideration. \u201cThere was part of me that said we are not about caring for people, we\u2019re here for a political purpose,\u201d he says. The welfare tent\u2019s presence is not entirely altruistic to my mind. The camp\u2019s continued existence remains precarious, and a responsible, civic-minded community is harder to demonise and evict.\u00a0 Asides medical involvement in the welfare tent, a medical team also wrote a report on site safety, hygiene, and sanitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In Starbucks I meet Simon, a part time nurse also involved with the first aid tent. A target at past protests, Starbucks is in fact warmly regarded by all I meet at Occupy LSX. As well as Occupy\u2019s de facto common room, early on the caf\u00e9 allowed the protestors use their toilet before alternative portable ones were sourced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do have two facets to the organisation. There\u2019s the progressive widespread attempt to verbalise certain issues and get them fed into the media, and then there\u2019s the occupation and the collaboration of people living together and trying to maintain a site,\u201d says Simon. By chance at an Arab Spring protest earlier in the year, Simon had been impressed by the protestor\u2019s medical facilities and sought to bring similar facilities to Occupy LSX.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These from scratch facilities may be laudable, but what is the actual message of the camp? \u201cIt\u2019s pro-activism here\u201d says Simon. \u201cThere are very few groups that are excluded. I\u2019ve yet to meet anyone down here who thinks that we shouldn\u2019t make our corporations pay more tax or that services should be cut over sourcing additional sources of income.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What I hear the loudest from the protestors is that Occupy LSX is about creating a space for people to articulate arguments about the government\u2019s economic policy and its consequences:\u00a0 unemployment, increasingly expensive education, and the privatisation of the NHS.\u00a0 The vague sense of unease many of us feel is here, amplified and expressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The criticisms are obvious.\u00a0 The camp has no manifesto and articulates no alternative.\u00a0In focussing on bankers it victimises a small part of society, when the true causes of the current crisis are less straightforward. Contrary to their claims, the activists have no mandate to represent the \u201c99%.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m inclined to be generous. Expecting protestors to have a fully developed alternative before they raise their voices represents an unrealistically high expectation. But whatever I think, they have no inclination to pack up their tents yet. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/uk\/blog\/2011\/nov\/18\/occupy-london-takes-over-empty-ubs-bank-live\">At the time of writing<\/a> a third camp is forming in an abandoned UBS building in the City.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Paternoster Square remains closed indefinitely.
