We went to the 'Occupy' site in Birmingham's Victoria Square today to talk to the protesters to try and get some information from them and to hear their views. However we were met by a fence that was barricading us out/them in. The EDL (English Defence League) were marching through the street that day, with opposition from the anti fascist movement, and as such a heavy police presence was required. As a result we've had to postpone out interview. We have however drawn up some interesting maps showing how the police secured the area surround the 'Occupy' camp. They claimed that they were protecting the government building but the town hall building (no 2) was left open.
