'Anonymous North West' to occupy Guildhall Square

A North West branch of the Anonymous group is set to occupy Guildhall Square. 

The organisation said the twenty-four hour camp is being held in protest against austerity.

A spokesperson said:

"Anonymous North West Ireland will be setting up a protest camp on Guildhall Square beginning 1pm Friday 13th January. This protest camp is intended to be a starting point, a catalyst for future protests with ever increasing numbers; a point where people can come to say we have had enough.

"Our purpose is to give people that vehicle, that opportunity to voice their anger on the streets instead of just shouting at a TV.
Austerity is the pretty name given by the increasingly rich ruling class, to modern day enslavement of the lower classes. The people here have a rich history of protest, let's start here and now, come and join us.

"Never has there been a better time for both traditions to join together in the fight that WE are faced with because WE will all be affected equally by this Conscious Cruelty. These issues are not Orange or Green as we might traditionally expect or argue, rather, regardless of the flag that flies on the lamp post, the pain and misery WILL be the same.

"WE are calling on all, regardless of their political/religious preference and none, to join us in the struggle for a more Just society and delivery of support and services based on the needs of People; like any civilised society should expect."
