Inspired by occupations of Wall Street in the US and London a group has set up camp in the City Square in Leeds.  On Friday the 11th the tents were erected and by Saturday night there were around 10.  In the short space of time they had banners, a kitchen and most importantly a presence in Leeds which is causing interest. Anther article about the Occupy Camp (including a camp wish list) [1].

People walking through Leeds are interested and, at times, confused as to why there are people camping in City Square and this very quickly ends up with a discussion on politics.  There is obvious disgust at the current situation and the occupiers hopes to be a focus of this and build a movement to challenge the current status quo.  Translating this disgust into action is a hard task but the occupiers have decided to make a start in building an alternative.
