11.20am As part of around 23 decentralised actions across the country London's Oxford Street Top Shop has been shut down by over one hundred UKuncut protestors.
People gathered inside the store shortly before 11am. Security began physically throwing out press or anyone with 'big lenses' whilst a sit down was held, stickers saying "this item is free" were plastered about, and chants rang out:
- "Where did all our money go? He sneaked it off to Monaco"
- "If you want to sell your clothes, pay your tax!"
- "We voted Lib Dem, look at what we got from them: Cuts, job losses, money for the bosses"
Soon and the shop was closed down and a line of police formed outside. Plenty of other targets still out there :)
