Occupy Plymouth group reinstates camp at Jigsaw Garden after eviction
Wednesday, December 28, 2011NeilShawFollow
'OCCUPY Plymouth' activists have reinstated their city centre camp after being evicted from the former JobCentre building.

Three tents have been pitched in the Jigsaw Garden outside Drake Circus Shopping Centre, where the anti-greed demonstration began last month.

​
Only two protesters were at the site yesterday afternoon – but they vowed to maintain the occupation into 2012.

One, named John, said the group was expected to swell once again after some members left to visit relatives over the festive period.

There were around ten people asleep inside the former JobCentre in Buckwell Street when they were thrown out in a court-ordered eviction overseen by police last week.

That followed legal action by the building's owner, land giant Telereal Trillium, which has since put possessions and donated furniture left behind by the protestors into storage ready for their collection.

Occupy activists John and Mick were at the camp yesterday, with an oil-drum fire providing warmth in smatterings of heavy rain.

John, a full-time care worker, said: "We thought it was important to have a presence following our eviction.

"This is not the ideal choice of place with New Year coming up, but it is highly visible so we are getting far more members of the public engaging with us than we did when we were in the JobCentre."

The 39-year-old said there was strong support for the global movement, which is challenging inequalities in wealth and calling for economic reform.

"We all have different views," John said. "But I think everyone agrees there is something wrong.

"I'm here between shifts to show we're not going away. The cause is right and just."

The group is planning a 'Demonstration of Our Discontent' outside the Civic Centre from midday on January 14.

UK Central Govt CREATES poverty and deprivation. Councils like Tower Hamlets NEED the POVERTY and DEPRIVATION...

Muhammad Haque diagnosing poverty-creating role of inner city Councils including Tower Hamlets.
This is the latest summary of the diagnostic as posted by Muhammad Haque on the London EVENING STANDARD website at 1455 Hrs GMT today Sunday 01 January 2012.

[Muhammad Haque Addressing the London EVENING STANDARD]

“Your piece is dated 12 December 2011.
Today is 01 January 2012.
And I am probably the first person to post a comment on this. What does that say about the state of interest in deprivation funding and the myth that Big Biasness brings benefits to the local areas it imposes itself on?
The "diagnosis" you attribute to the subject of your item could very well apply to Tower Hamlets. Newham, Hackney, Southwark, Lewisham, Lambeth and Islington.
Poverty creation is alive and kicking across inner London. No holder of the elected post has been within a million miles of confessing to their role in this disaster.
The role I speak of is in their failure, inability and negligence on the entire range of events in the chain of corruption around the degeneration funding that has been going on in one form or another in inner cities for the past 40 years.
Your piece contains no evidence that the Cameron-endorsed and Boris Johnson-proximate Stephen Greenhalgh himself knows the answer.
His appointment and the EVENING STANDARD's prominent reporting of it has more to do with propaganda than with the addressing of the problem of poverty creation in London via local councils.
