Very interesting how banks go out of their way to work with customers.

Who is funding these occutards?
Not Herman Caine that's for sure. Not after his brain recently imploded. They showed the Libya questions on Have I got News For You last night. labour MP Tom Watson said footage like that made our politicians look incredibly competent. I particularly liked the bit where he said he disagreed with Obama's policy on Libya for the following reasons, then couldn't think of anything to say. Now that's a retard for you.

Occupy Boston camp cleared; 46 arrested 10-week rally comes to an end; no injuries reported
Hundreds of Boston police officers swooped down on the Occupy Boston encampment early this morning,
arresting dozens of protesters and tearing down tents, bringing an end to the 10-week rally against
economic inequality, the longest continual Occupy demonstration in the country.
At least 46 protesters were arrested in the lightning-swift operation, which was over in less than an hour.
The vast majority are facing trespassing charges, Boston police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll said.
“They wanted to get arrested. It went very well, and we’re very happy with this operation,” said
Superintendent William Evans.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino said today that he also was happy with the outcome.
"I think it came out real well,” he said, adding that he was pleased that so many of the protestors chose
to leave the camp after the city’s warning on Thursday. “From Day One, I was sympathetic to the movement
because they had issues working people cared about.”
An armada of police vans and prisoner transport vehicles appeared on Atlantic Avenue, along the edge of
the Dewey Square encampment, just before 5 a.m. Police quickly swarmed the area, many equipped with
plastic handcuffs.
Demonstrators ran for the camp, yelling, “Wake up! Wake up!”
“If you don’t leave the park, you will be subject to arrest. You are trespassing on Greenway property,”
a police officer said through a megaphone.
“Tell me what democracy looks like. This is what democracy looks like,” demonstrators chanted back.
About two dozen linked arms and sat down in nonviolent protest and police soon began arresting them.
And such a tiny fraction of the surface of the earth for such a fuss to be made over.
The rubbish truck reminds one of how a similar situation was dealt with in Soylent Green. But that was science fiction of the better sort. Lacking miracles as it did.
Had the 99% been there it would have been a different story.

@RABEL222,
I'm not sure if that would make much of a difference because they do not seem interested in getting anything done that is helpful to society.
They have provided some pretty good entertainment which is a plus considering what passes these days in that essential field of human endeavour. A bit tame mind you what with no water canon or tear gas but there was a bit of human interest at times.
And there was the overtime. And the expended kit. The requisitions, the contracts, the duty rostas, the phone calls, the radio messages, the texts, the provisioning, the photo ops and all the other logistical stuff which keeps the sense of duty of all those concerned at a high pitch.
The chance to practice in case a biggie comes along.
And a salutary lesson to the population on who is in charge.

@RABEL222,
Sure do.
The park in NYC that the OWS people were squatting on was private property, even though it was administered by the city.
So apparently, you think that private or public doesnt matter, since you support the OWS people.
So, why does it matter now?
