They are joining a global protest that took place in almost a thousand cities worldwide last Saturday. It all started with the "Occupy Wall Street" movement last September.<br /><br />Thousands have come to London's financial district this Saturday, to join in the global "Occupy Together" protests in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement.<br /><br />But since protesters were stopped from entering the London's Stock Exchange, they settled on St. Paul's cathedral steps instead, where they set up a "people's assembly" and occupation camp.<br /><br />[Mary Stimson, Retired Artist]:<br />"I'm just so angry with the way the government is not regulating the banks. I feel that if we regulated the banks, so if we set up a national bank, where we put money in which we could support English businesses and English jobs, instead of putting money into a gambling situation (...) And if they fail at their gambling then we support them with our tax payer's money, and to me that's very wrong."<br /><br />[...]<br /><br />Dani has set up camp in protest of cuts in National Health Services.<br /><br />[Dani Smith, Unemployed]:<br />"My local hospital has just been shut and since it has been shut 260 people have died in ambulances going to the next town. It's a bit heartbreaking, to be honest those 260 people didn't need to die."<br /><br />Minutes after this interview, Dani was arrested when the police tried to close in on protesters.<br /><br />Even though the protest was peaceful, the constant advance of the riot police kettling the protesters caused great tension throughout the event.<br /><br />Around five hundred people spent the night at the site, some pitching tents and others playing songs.<br /><br />Protesters aim to stay at St. Paul's until mid-December.<br /><br />Olga Martinez<br />NTD News, London
