"At the nearby house of the local parson, John 
Platt, his wife reads the writings of Winstanley. 
Platt and Winstanley meet, and parson Platt makes 
it clear that Winstanley is not welcome in the 
area. Later, Mrs Platt offers Winstanley a lift 
in her carriage, and pleads to be allowed to join 
his community. She reveals that she is pregnant."

Occupy London: eviction notices attached to tents outside St Paul's
Notices from City of London Corporation tell 
activists to move by 6pm on Thursday or face legal action

The City of London Corporation has attached 
eviction notices to tents outside St Paul's 
Cathedral, telling activists to move them from 
the public highways by 6pm on Thursday or face legal action.
It is the latest development in a month-long saga 
that has pitted the protest movement Occupy 
London against the corporation, the local 
authority for the Square Mile, and St Paul's. 
Both institutions own the land around the church 
but only the corporation is pressing ahead with court proceedings.

Emacs!


The notice is addressed to "each and every person 
taking part in and/or having erected tents or 
other structures at St Paul's Churchyard EC4".
It reads: "Through the erection of tents and 
other structures, you and others involved in the 
Protest Camp have taken possession and control of 
the Red Land from the City of London Corporation without its consent.
"The Protest Camp is therefore a trespass. It is 
also an unreasonable obstruction of the highway. 
The Protest Camp does not have planning 
permission and causes significant harm to the area."
Stuart Fraser, policy chairman for the 
corporation, told Channel 4 News on Monday he was 
prepared to use "all legal measures" including riot police to remove them.
"Not in a sense of going in there and causing a 
riot. Some may resist, some may lay on the ground 
and have to be carried. If they start hurling 
bricks, that's their decision to take violence 
against us. We're not going to send people in and 
suddenly start being violent."
Fraser, in the same interview, acknowledged there 
could be violence between police and protesters 
and that such a scenario would place the cathedral under great strain.
On Wednesday St Paul's said it had always desired 
a "peaceful resolution" to the situation.
"We are committed to maintaining St Paul's as a 
sacred space in the heart of London. We recognise 
the local authority's statutory right to proceed 
with the action it has. We have always desired a 
peaceful resolution and the canons will continue 
to hold regular meetings with representatives of the protesters."
Occupy responded to the threat of eviction by 
saying it was "not the least bit concerned about the road ahead".
It added: "As far as legal action goes, there is 
really very little to say: we are aware of our 
legal position and the likely timeframe for any 
action. We have a great legal team on board."
The protest has now entered its fifth week outside St Paul's.
The cathedral lost £120,000 in revenue during its 
six-day shutdown last month because of the 
protest camp, according to the contract caterer 
Habour & Jones, which runs the restaurant at St Paul's.
A press release announcing the eaterie's 
re-opening after a "regrettable enforced two-week 
closure brought about by anti-capitalist 
protesters and their make-shift 'tent city'" said 
that cancelled event bookings and lost retail 
revenue "hurt the restaurant and café to the tune of £10,000 in October".
Nathan Jones said: "Local businesses and the 
people employed within them are the ones who have 
suffered at the hands of these protesters, so 
it's important to us that we get back to a 
'business as usual' service in our restaurant and 
café as quickly as possible. We're particularly 
pleased to be able to invite our customers to 
book their Christmas lunch in the cosy, peaceful 
surroundings of the Restaurant at St Paul's – a 
very special and popular festive experience that 
we were in danger of having to withdraw."
In the US, activists are marking the two-month 
anniversary of Occupy Wall Street on Thursday 
with a "national day of direct action and 
celebration" that will see thousands of people 
taking over multiple locations in New York.

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be 
revealed; and nothing hid that shall not be made known. What I tell 
you in darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye hear in the 
ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
