The Right Rev Graeme Knowles. has become the third cleric to leave his post as a result of the Occupy London protest, after the canon chancellor of St Paul's, Giles Fraser, and the part-time chaplain Fraser Dyer

The land that the tents are camped on is owned by The City of London Corporation who are expected to serve legal papers on the protesters today after a warning to remove their tents

So who are 'The City of London Corporation' exactly?

The City has a unique electoral system. Most of its voters are representatives of businesses and other bodies that occupy premises in the City. Its ancient wards have very unequal numbers of voters. In elections, both the businesses based in the City and the residents (who constitute about 3.5%) of the City vote making it analogous to the historical 'rotten boroughs'

The Corporation has been described as existing 'outside many of the laws and democratic controls which govern the rest of the United Kingdom' Several governments have tried to democratise the City of London but all, threatened by its financial might, have failed.

You would be correct in assuming I support a campaign against the rewarding of risky (and bad) investments etc by the financial institutions and ordinary people reaping the result

But I don't feel that any cause is assisted by exaggeration or inaccuracy, it may even cause harm.

In the interest of which may I point out that commodity trading, while a form of investment, is directly affected by the current relationship between supply and demand for a given commodity. Any factor that limits the supply may cause the value of the remaining quantities of the commodity to gain in value very quickly. (and vice versa of course.)
True, there was a rise in peanut commodity trading in May and June this year of just under 10% - as reported elsewhere
"Scorching heat, little rain and the draw of more lucrative crops could produce one of the smallest peanut harvests in recent memory." thus pushing the price up."

Be careful storing peanuts too as even unshelled, they will only keep from four to six months in refrigeration.

Also - not quite Disney

It is unlikely to find vendors selling small packets of bird seed these days as the number of feral pigeons in Britain's towns and cities has doubled over the past few years despite attempts to encourage people to stop feeding them as it is felt they could constitute a health hazard Some counties have introduced culling

However, unless you wish to employ your own method of culling birds around St Pauls or anywhere else, please take the advice of the RSPB for spring and summer feeding and
'avoid using peanuts, fat and bread at this time, since these can be harmful if adult birds feed them to their nestlings. If you feel you MUST put out peanuts, only do so in suitable mesh feeders that will not allow sizeable pieces of peanuts to be removed and provide a choking risk'.

Facts are really just so boring, and should never get in the way of a 'story'. LOL
