Organised dissent: Protesters at St Paul's

London Mayor Boris Johnson has added his voice to calls for protesters to quit the grounds of St Paul’s Cathedral.

Mr Johnson made the call after meeting police and cathedral officials.

“They have made their point, they have to go,” he said.

A spokesman for the Mayor of London said all parties are trying to “find a solution.”

But Occupy London Stock Exchange (OLSX) do not look ready to comply.

A statement by the group said: “We are ordinary people with jobs and families. We are occupying in order to register our objection to being shut out of the political process.

“The fact that we are camping out here shows how seriously we take our right to participate and be heard.”

The protest against corporate greed is in its 11th day.

Meanwhile, claims that part-time protesters are abandoning their tents at night for comfortable beds threaten to undermine the movement.

St Paul’s has raised health and safety worries caused by the presence of the camp in the shadow of the cathedral.

But Ronan McNern of OLSX insisted no details of safety fears had been told to the camp.

“We welcome those from the cathedral as well as the Bishop of London to come along as these issues concern the health and safety of the world,” he said.

“The issues the camp seeks to address are fundamental and should not be brushed under the carpet.

“We are extremely keen to continue an open dialogue with the cathedral.”
