In other words, it’s just your typical Occupier protest.

(BBC) — Legal documents have listed “defecation and drugs” among problems at a protest camp outside St Paul’s Cathedral, it has been revealed.

Documents filed by City of London Corporation as part of an attempt to evict protesters said half of school parties had cancelled trips.

Local business takings had fallen by up to 35%, the documents claimed.

But Occupy London said civic authorities “have not engaged in a transparent dialogue” with activists.

Last week the City of London Corporation resumed legal action against the camp, which has been outside the cathedral for a month, after talks failed.

Within the documents a statement given by John Zuber, a City of London police inspector who visited the camp, said urination and defecation were “major issues”.

Police received complaints from the cathedral about “members of the camp continually urinating through the fence of the Chapter House and the Cathedral itself”, Mr Zuber said.

On one occasion “a member of the camp had urinated through the window of the Crypt Restaurant”.
