Occupy London: Protest continues for third day
Demonstrators protesting against "corporate greed" have spent a second night in London's financial district, where the working week is beginning.

About 250 protesters were reported to be outside St Paul's Cathedral on Monday morning, with about 100 tents.

The BBC's Ben Ando said the London protesters had formed groups to organise food and sanitation, and were determined to stay. He said there was still access for local workers and demonstrators seemed to be at a "perfectly peaceful impasse".

Demonstrator Belinda Singh told the BBC protesters wanted to have "some kind of communication with the elite" and had drawn up a manifesto which they planned on distributing.

1. Come on, London can do better than that :)
We had about 300 in Birmingham, Alabama.
