Occupylsx have Fourth Site

Anti-capitalist protesters camped outside St Paul's Cathedral have occupied a fourth site, it emerged today.

Occupy London demonstrators have taken over an old courthouse where they plan to hold mock trials in protest at bankers' greed.

Activists drove to their latest site - Old Street Magistrates' Court - in a tank.


"The opening of Occupy London's fourth occupation, will see the movement conducting 'trials of the one per cent' in the abandoned magistrate's court building which has lain empty since 1996, despite its prime location and grade II listing."

As well as the "tent city" by St Paul's, the activists are also occupying Finsbury Square just outside the City, and an empty office building owned by Swiss investment bank UBS.
