You had me until you said "organized, decentralized." Also, the big questions I keep seeing raised but never quite get answered are what are what exactly are you protesting and what specifically do you want done about it? So tell me--what is London protesting and what do they want done about it? To me it seems pointless to protest unless you can answer both of these questions. It just makes the protesters like a kid throwing a tantrum, and when the mom asks what's wrong they just scream "I DON'T KNOW!!!" and continue their fit.
Whats your problem with "Organized" and "decentralized"? I dont think anyone can deny these protests are certainly organized, they had to be to be long protests. And they are also decentralized, they dont have a hierarchy... you cant look to one person and say thats the leader.
And the Occupy London protest doesnt start until next Saturday (the 15th of October), but obviously the general complaints will be the same with ones more specific to Britain. The completely unfair pull the vast minority has on the political system despite one person supposedly having one vote for example, or more Britain specific points like blocking the proposed reform of the NHS that no one voted for. As well as marching on the London Stock Exchange for obvious reasons. There will also be, as there have been with the other Occupy protests, general assemblies, discussion, workshops, etc.
One of the most annoying things for the people who are interested in the Occupy protests is the misinformation still being spread that there is no reason for the protests... its very annoying BUT as we all know, entirely to be expected given the media blackout that is going on.
