anon@indymedia.org (Ldn imc) | 17.10.2011 20:56 | London

A time line pulled togther from comments, texts and twitter.

Read other round-ups of today here: by Lucy

[14:25] After the success of the weekend the numbers are down as people start to leave to return to work, family needs etc so we are down to about 300-400 of us however we are not down hearted and morale is good.

We are surprised at the attitude of the police which seems to be one of ignoring us now after their violence at the weekend perhaps in the hope we wil get bored and leave.

We believe the employees of banks etc have been told to ignore us because attempts to engage with them are met with silence. Settling in now for a colder night
