Charges after protesters set up camp outside Bank of England
SIX people have been charged after an Occupy protest that sprang up near the Bank of England.
Four people were charged with public order offences and two with obstructing a police officer and are due to appear in court next Monday, City of London Police said.
The demonstration attracted around 300 people and lasted for much of Saturday.
Occupy said it was targeting Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Royal Bank of Scotland and Santander. Activists later pitched tents outside the Royal Exchange on a global day of action which also featured rallies in Moscow, New York, Athens and Madrid.
Protesters in London carried banners bearing slogans such as “Love, breathe, hope Occupy” and “Bank of England is the St Paul’s of Money”.
