‘We are in Third World War - an economic war. And the weapon is debt’

The Occupy Wall Street movement staged a day of protests in the US on May Day. Meanwhile RT spoke to an Occupy London activist who said the group is only gaining momentum as more people understand they are being robbed by their governments.

­Thousands took to the streets of American cities from coast to coast to mark May Day and call for a nationwide strike.

Between 50 and 100 people joined them in London by moving into Paternoster Square with tents and supplies on Tuesday night. However they were forced to leave by City of London officers just hours later.

The renewed activism comes more than six months after members of Occupy London were prevented from occupying the square in heart of the City of London. Many thought the movement appears to be on its last legs. Jamie Kelsey-Fry from the Occupy London convinces RT otherwise.

RT: You said yourself that this place [St. Paul’s Cathedral in London] is almost haunted – the tents used to be right here just where you are standing. Is the Occupy movement dead?

Jamie Kelsey-Fry: Absolutely not, obviously. One of the things of camp movement is that we are allowed to put more energy into the movement itself. It was actually becoming very difficult to sustain the camp because it became very large. If you bear in mind that five months ago none of us thought the camp would last this long, we are still developing our ideas and have them move forward, have to use outrage to escalate the movement, to generate solidarity and otherwise really of reaching the public consciousness to get across our very simple ideas of social, environmental and economic justice. So, we have really just begun in that sense really.
