After four weeks of focus on Wall Street, the campaign against the global banking industry is coming to the UK this weekend, with the biggest event aiming to "occupy" the London Stock Exchange.

The protests have been organised on Facebook and Twitter pages that between them have picked up more than 15,000 followers. Campaigners are to gather outside St Paul's Cathedral at midday on Saturday before marching the short distance to Paternoster Square, home of the Stock Exchange, as well as the London head office of investment bank Goldman Sachs.

It is one of a series of events planned around the UK as part of a global day of action, with 800-plus protests promised so far worldwide.!

"All decisions on the occupation, and how we're going to take it forward, will happen then. If people decide they don't want to stay then that's it, we won't stay," he said, adding that he was bringing a tent in the expectation of staying for some time. "The idea is to stay there as long as it takes to see some substantial change. No one said it would be easy," he said. "Since 2008 these ideas have been building up, and I think people realise there will be no governments who will represent their interests against the banks, unless the people themselves raise their voices." Another activist planning to go to St Paul's, Peter Vaughn, 24, said the aim was to set up a "rolling camp" of protesters as a permanent symbol of people's concerns. "When the crisis began I think people were patient. They were told, 'We need to bail out the banks, this is the only way to save our economy.' And now the whole European economy is in crisis, while banks continue to pay bonuses. The situation is untenable." Vaughn said he hoped the police would permit them to remain, but was aware that TV footage of protesters being dragged away could publicise the campaign: "We're not going there for a fight with the police. This is about legitimate concerns that we have."
