They’ve Now Occupied the Park
As I took the bus yesterday to Moorgate, I noticed a lot of tents in Shoreditch Park.
The Occupy Movement in Shoreditch Park
It would appear that the Occupy idiots have decided to ruin someone else’s environment. There’s a report here. Note the commenyts of locals in the report.
Later the bus passed their former site in Finsbury Square.

So it’s probably been cleaned before they left, but this time last year, it was grass and flower beds.
Good Riddance
I only came across the Occupy Movement’s camp outside St. Paul’s once. I was walking from the Millennium Bridge to Smithfield and to say it was an obstruction to an unsteady pensioner would be an understatement.
They may have some points about tax and power in the City, but most are just the descendants of the Hippy movement of the 1960s and just want to do what they want to do and stuff the rest of us.
There was a distinct and strong smell of tobacco and I think cannabis smoke as I passed. My son died of a disease related to that sort of heavy smoking. It wasn’t pleasant for him. Or his family!
So I’m rather pleased they have been cleared from the steps of St. Paul’s. I’m just a bit worried about where they pop-up next!
How To Create Jobs in Hong Kong
It would appear according to this article, that the Prudential, which is Britain’s biggest insurer, might be moving its headquarters out of the EU, because of regulation.
Hong Kong would seem to be the likely recipient of the jobs, as the company does 45% of its business in Asia.
Is this really what those of the left and the Occupy Movement want? After all, I’d like to see what happened to an Occupy Hong Kong?
Actually, it doesn’t bother me, as I don’t work for the Pru and I insure with a mutual.
Are Virgin Media the Worst Junk Mailers?
Every few weeks, I get one of these through the post, delivered by the Royal Mail.
Unwanted Mail from Virgin Media
I have registered with the Mail Preference Service and I do have sign which says No Junk Mail. But the mail is addressed to the Occupier, which is apparently not covered by any rules. Perhaps, I should send it on to the Occupy London people.
Virgin shouldn’t really worry, as except for their trains, I don’t and won’t use any of their products. And anyway Virgin Media is expensive.
