Today’s the Day!
Besides today being the Internet blackout against SOPA/PIPA (which means you’ll not be seeing this post until tomorrow/much later today), today is also the day that Occupy London find out the fate of their St. Paul encampment. I’ll make sure to swing back by here later to update this post with that information… here’s hoping it’s good news. And even if it’s not, well… we shall see what the future holds. But I think we can probably count this as kicking off the new year of protesting here in the UK.

City wins bid to evict Occupy London protesters

And also unsurprisingly, the protesters will be appealing the decision. One way or another, it brings the camp and the cause back to the forefront of the news//attention, so… that’s good, at least.
D’oh…but you’re right, it’s not over yet!!
One of my friends posted this yesterday on LJ, and I think it sums up the continuing battle at hand:
