We have set up an internet petition about the council's eviction of the Occupy Camp from the Market Square.
This initial statement was collectively agreed by over 500 people on the steps of St Paul's on 16th October 2011. Point 8 was added by the Occupy London General Assembly on 19th November 2011. After ammending point 6, Occupy Nottingham collectively agreed to fully adopt the entire 'common statement', at the General Assembly on 25th January 2012.

Mark Kennedy report to rule out monitoring of undercover police
Well what a surprise.
