LAST WEEK'S LATE EDITION - APOLOGIES!!!

Well it was a good little run of regular editions, but the Occupied Argus has really struggled to keep up this past fortnight. Our attention has been diverted by the Homelessness Working Group and the pace of current events, locally, nationally and internationally. You can read how last week's edition ended up below.

For the time being we are unfortunately going to have to scale back the depth of RP/analysis/reportage.
Apologies to all our subscribers and supporters. We will still be maintaining the calendar and producing operational updates as frequently as is necessary/possible.If any Occupy supporters are interested in taking the reigns of this project, or picking up some of the slack on it, please get in touch.

Bear with us - we're not going anywhere!

Media WG - Weatherley's Law Video Project
The Media Working Group plan to film questions for Mike Weatherley pertaining to his new anti-squatting law. After witnessing firsthand the righteous anger of the squatting community, @Sussex Uni, the media group feel this debate needs to be had and it needs to be had urgently. The intention is to facilitate that debate in a fair, free for all forum "at arm's length" in the form of "to camera" interviews.

If anybody is interested in getting involved, or just wants to try to ask Mr Weatherley a question in a public forum, please get in touch.
