]]> Comment on Occupy Lancaster Camp by Shared Future CIC http://www.nlse.org.uk/2011/12/lancaster-occupy-camp/#comment-1619 Shared Future CIC Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:53:41 +0000 http://www.nlse.org.uk/?p=792#comment-1619 Gary, I appreciate your views are sincerely held and to many people Occupy Lancaster will not seem the right way to act. However unpleasant or unnecessary it may seem, the right to non-violent protest that draws attention to what many believe are injustices has a long history and is central to a democratic society. Many causes that included similar protest, like the campaigns of Martin Luther King or the Suffragettes, would now generally seem to be justified. As to whether the actions of the worldwide Occupy movement will one day be viewed in the same way... only history can say. I do want to make very clear my original post was my individual action, taken without reference to others and not made on behalf of the North Lancashire Social Enterprise Network. Neither NLSE, Shared Future CIC (or I) was a founder or instigator of this protest.
