Even though Glasgow City Council have welcomed the Occupation of Glasgow on behalf of the Global Movement to demand a fair and sustainable global economy separate from bullion stores in capitalist hands, currently being used to wield unconstitutional power and manipulate global events causing havoc and despair around the world, the council would like occupiers of the square to remove themselves to an alternative site, albeit the new site will by default have less security, lighting and visibility, let along history.
Citizens of Glasgow have been steadily visiting the square over the past weeks supporting the occupation, apologising for not being able to take a more active role and generously offering donations to keep the movement going and have told the council as much.
However, the council remain unconvinced and are determined to honour contracts for commercial events throughout the festivities including the expensive, obstructive and most non-spiritual clapperboard ice rink which unlike the beauteous Time Square ice rink in the Big Apple does not allow viewers to enjoy the show, unless they clamber onto a ramp and peer over the ramparts in a leisurely fashion as you do.
Despite the fact that occupiers have modified their position to comply with requests to allow other events to continue, already the council have advised organisers of several events not to show because the peace camp is deemed to make the square an unsafe site for their event. Actually the issue of common ground and the common good is quite hot right now and we invite you to sign this petition, send emails, and letters to Glasgow City Council to let the peace camp be and remind them of their responsibilities to the people who are interested to know who actually does own the hallowed ground of George Square and other properties donated to the people by the people for the Common Good
