The Occupy camp outside Oxford Brookes university continues; the first few days included a samba workshop, a short tree climbing skillshare, poetry performance, acoustic guitars, a talk on the economics of the cuts and a philosophy session.

Tomorrow (Sunday) there's a longer tree climbing workshop (from 3pm onwards), more workshops are in the pipeline, and we'll have a massive free hot meal Wednesday from 12:30pm.

Meanwhile a letter outlining some initial demands has been sent to the Uni. They say they'll look at it on Monday, but personally I'm not holding my breath for anything more than a polite fob-off unless we find a way to up the pressure.

Special solidarity goes to the students of Montreal who are taking to the streets with inspiring numbers and militancy:
