Why are people ‘occupying’ Dame Street? Various newspaper reports will tell you different things, but those involved in the occupation have issued their own statement which is available to read here.
It is interesting to go down to Dame Street and read some of the placards, messages and signs appearing. I photographed some of my favourites. Be sure to pop down to Dame Street, there have been excellent gigs and talks organised as part of the protest, and tomorrow a march of support with leave the Garden of Remembrance at 2pm.
The only problem is if you don’t have the IMF you don’t have their money. Are there any posters calling for the CCL to pay tax like everyone else? That would bring in a few million. Just cancelling the Indemnity Deal and making the child rapists in the church pay for their crimes would be a boost to the economy.
If there had been no such thing as Occupy Wall Street would there be an Occupy Dame Street?
