Over 12 years ago back on June the 18th 1999 there was a massive carnival against capitalism in the City of London similar to the planned occupy the stock exchange event this Saturday the 15th of October.

The City had previously been targeted for protests back in 1983 and 1984 when thousands of activists held three Stop the City events. The J18 carnival against capitalism was inspired by these actions. Here is video footage of the day:
