St Paul’s choristers fight back against Occupy London cathedral closure with singing flashmob
26th October 2011
Relations between St Paul’s and the Occupy protests hit a low note last week when the cathedral was forced to close its doors to the public for the first time since World War II.
Yeah, peace & freedom & love & inconveniencing everybody else! That’s the ‘progressive’ creed!
The cathedral has now been closed for a fifth day over health and safety fears; the longest time it has been shut in living memory. At the height of the Blitz, German Luftwaffe bombers only managed to keep the cathedral closed for four days.
But the musical mob will be putting some cheer back into the place of worship with an Evensong service amid the tents of the anti-capitalist encampment.
‘They may have won all the battles, but we had all the good songs!’
