# I do think that if they've went to all this trouble, why haven't they brought a packed lunch?
And I'm sure there's other independent businesses they could go to. They should be aware that they are being scrutinised.

# THIS!
I don't think anyone feels they shouldn't have a cup of coffee.
But just go to one one of the countless independent coffee shops round there rather than bloody Starbucks.

# But as soon as they do
people start complaining about them not being in their tents!

# just to clarify...
are these IR images taken during the night or during the day?

# I bet
they assumed people might actually be focused on the bigger urgent issues rather than what logo was on their bloody packed lunch or if they stay in the tent overnight. silly hipsters

# well then, they're fucking stupid aren't they?!
if you're trying to make a change, then you're trying to change hearts and minds. If you're of a similar mindset, you aren't going to care because it's the message that matters.

To those whose minds they are trying to change, they'll be looking for any reason to discount this act as just whinging hippiness, because people inherently fear change unless they are the ones driving it.

If they don't think that, as "ambassadors" for their cause, they aren't being watched like hawks by those willing to twist it around, then they are naive!

# I guess they never got your memo
do you have any evidence for these conclusions you've drawn then?
I mean you've obviously been down there and spoken to each individual protestor, found out what each of them is protesting and has issue with and then inspected the contents of their lunchbox matching it up to their individual issue by the sounds of it

# I'm sorry...

# I guess that's a 'no' then
you seem ok with calling them all stupid and other generalisations, implying they're hypocritical without even knowing which are actually anti-capitalist protestors or which ones are just protesting change within the financial sector. and try not to take it so personally, its only a debate, chill

# you're right...
because I have not been down to St. Pauls and met every single one of these protestors, I'm not allowed to have an opinion on any proportion (small or large) of said protestors' lacking the strength of their convictions...

# there's nowt wrong with having an opinion
but an opinion is only as good as the accurate info you've got to form it. Don't be suprised when someone is going to ask you what you're basing your assumptions and generalisations on

# the bigger issues ...
that they're perpetuating by continuing to support them through their continued entering into the market, you mean?
