Taking the legal battle to the City of London

You will first need to read Scrapper Duncan's blog entry before anything I say here will make any sense. There is no point in me re-hashing all the core information about this.

OK then, for those who did not bother here is a very short precis:
* The City of London is undemocratic in that it's ruling council is elected mostly by corporations, not real people.
* This is in DIRECT CONTRAVENTION of the 1998 European Convention on Human Rights
* We counter this by getting enough actual people to establish that they live in the various electoral wards of the city (you do not have to be a homeowner to vote) so that they can outvote the corporations and force transparency on the City.
* If their registration of voters is opposed there is a full scale class action suit brought against the City of London for denying people their legal democratic rights.

London has many homeless, some of them may not be interested in helping with change, but the Occupy movement already has much to thank the homeless for. Many Occupy groups not only 'look after' the local homeless but in return get to learn valuable skills about rough sleeping and surviving outdoors.

If we could organize enough of London's homeless to choose to make their homes in the wards of the City itself, and officially state that they are living there then we can make phase 1 of this plan a reality.

The Occupy movement would have to provide support, for many months if need be. We need to go mobile. Both in the form of traveling soup kitchens so that the street sleepers can at least have a warm meal inside them, and coping for the other end of things, camper vans with toilet and washing facilities. Alongside the bodily needs would be the security that the World is Watching. The UK will be asleep but our American friends will be awake so there would be plenty of witnesses to victimization and assault against the people taking part in this historic action.

It is convenient that the Congestion Charge does not operate at night. What can they do to stop Occupy support vehicles from traveling the streets of the city at night? Declare a curfew?

These are just some ideas, as Scrapper says it is going to take a lot of organizing, and funding. The prize however is that the City is stripped of all its special status and becomes just another London borough. The current system is an anachronism so needs to end.

We really have no more time to humor these corporations any more. With their profit above all motivations they cannot be expected to act towards the goal of the continued survival of the human race. People need to be the ones making all the big decisions.
