The camp is still there and continues to grow.......

This afternoon, Nottingham was preparing for the 'lets switch on the christmas lights in Mid November shindig'! [ba humbug, really].

Council was expecting around 7000 folks to celebrate this event, but filled the square with all this 'stuff'. God know where they were all supposed to stand.

Anyway, workmen came along and put up an instant fence this afternoon around the camp.  Either:

1. To keep the camp protesters in, or

2. Keep the public [and passing drunks] out. 

it's a mystery.

As an aside ..... It's worth noting the number of times recently, that policemen are passing by [and in] the camp ..... just to make sure everyone is ok of course......

As if all the hassle and bother they've been having in the camp isn't enough, now they've got to put up with awful xmas hits shite for the next 5-6 weeks or so. If they survive that they'll be there forever, and good luck to 'em too. 'It's chriiisssmasss'
