Climate Camp – lunchtime update

The Climate Camp is under way with protestors gathering, press reporting and Police observing. I visited the BankSwoop and RioTintoSwoop and there were about equal numbers of press and protestors at both with the mood being good on all sides.

The Rio Tinto Swoop were being entertained by a guitarist, possibly to draw attention away from the fact that Rio Tinto moved out six months ago, but even the Police I spoke to agreed with their cause and are hoping that they’re able to get their message across in a peaceful and productive way.

I’ve heard a few sirens on and off over the last hour but there’s no indication so farthat they’re related to the Climate Camp and aren’t unusual for a normal City day.

If you’ve seen the protestors, or if you are a protestor, then let me know how you think it’s going by leaving a comment on here or on Twitter to @thecityblog.
