The Occupy movement is reaching a challenging time. Sixty
days after occupying Zuccotti Park in New York, the protestors have now been
banned from erecting tents or staying over night. In London, similar legal
proceedings have been restarted. The challenge will be to keep the focus of the
protest on capitalist greed and the global wealth gap, rather than letting it
shift to a debate about camping. A quick scan of today’s headlines suggests
there is no shortage of fuel to keep the anger burning:
Guardian: vulture funds
Spiegel Online: speculators bet against Spain, Belgium & France
Independent: Cameron trying to block financial transaction tax
