A number of arrests, amongst them Green politician Jenny Jones who is also the deputy chair of London assembly’s police and crime committee,  have followed an attempt to establish a 9 day open discussion about Democracy in Parliament Square, opposite the Houses of Parliament.

The Occupy London website invites other protesters to attend by stating

“WE DID NOT VOTE TO PRIVATISE THE NHS. WE DID NOT VOTE FOR FRACKING.  ITS YOUR DEMOCRACY TOO. SEE YOU TONIGHT OR ON THE WEEKEND.THIS IS NOT OVER”
