“The grass needs far more than re-seeding, the ground need to be decontaminated of sharps and human waste. They are now gone!!!!! and evicted out of the building, that was an unexpected bonus. Well done District Judge Arnold, A true patron of Exeter.

Occupy are planning to "pop up" from time to time. They have now taken to pushing begging letters through peoples letterboxes. Give it UP Occupy Exeter. Time for you to go.”

“listen its a block grass that can be sorted quite easily , we live in democracy , so people have the right do as they feel , they should . everybody , well every decent person has now probably relised wot everybodies relatives died , and gave there life for was us oh so perfect judgmental clowns of today ....yes there is /or was sum clowns in there sight , but u dont av go there see that , they all around us ......these who dam those protesters / oponionist wood av been tearing there hair out if they,d been related to either john , charles de menzies or ian tomlinson if peep woodnt sumtimes put there head above the parapfit ....and for the usual suspects who,ll tell me my english is **** , get life ....”

“Coblin. I don't actually hate all protesters, having been one myself in the last 6 months on one of the biggest organised mass protests this country has ever seen. I just have no time for hypocritical idiots, who spout out how it's all such a mess, but actually come up with no real ideas on how to change it. Last week one of the occupiers was quoted as saying" we don't want the ideas to come down from the top, we want people to think of them themselves" (it's in the echo i suggest you read it). When one of the fools on the green can actually stand up and say this is what's wrong and this is how we will change it, these are the ways. Maybe people will listen until that point, i will continue to treat Occupy Exeter with the contempt they and it deserve”

“Hoaxx - if the protesters were such nice reasonable people, then they would have proper respect for people's feelings and beliefs. I do my best to accommodate and respect all kinds of people and seek no special preference for religious belief - simply the same level of respect and protection as is given to any other defineable group. But the intolerance and vehemence of many of the protesters' utterances, certainly within their facebook conversations, would be raising hysterical cries of "hate crime" if directed against any other feature of society. People like Bowman would have a lot more difficulty sponging public money for their dubious charities if religious tolerance was treated with the same weight as the more fashionable aspects of "equality and diversity".”

“They will be off the green, sounds good to me. As long as they can drop the pseudo-commie wannabes like Ceillachair and the MP wannabes like Bowman and Crewes. they might actually get somewhere.”

“I know for a fact that every protester involved in Occupy Exeter is a good, charitable person. They wouldn't be doing what they're doing otherwise. Their intentions are pure no matter what you think of their method.
A lot of the group are protesting for the first time and still learning. Best thing to do, whether anti- or pro-occupy is go down there. Speak with them but try not to judge them personally. "The more you judge, the less you love." Instead perhaps, analyse what they are doing and why.”

“I feel that continual references simply to the physical defilement of the Green, and to anti-social behaviour upon it, do not really get to the heart of what has offended so many people. That in itself is bad enough - I have yet to hear a coherent justification from any of the occupiers for causing a public mess and nuisance, and for blatantly breaking the law - but it is the contempt they have shown to the church, both as a sacred place and as a community, that leaves the deepest wounds.

My aunt, who passed away some three years ago, lived in Exeter for most of her life and was a regular visitor and worshipper at both the cathedral and her parish church of Heavitree. The Church was not just somewhere she went on Sundays - it was an integral part of what she was. And what she was, was something special. Her endless devotion to, and genuine interest in, even distant relatives and friends was wonderful in itself, and her faith expressed itself also in her nursing career. If that sounds like a thousand other people, then get this - after her moving funeral we retired to her humble flat where I noticed for the first time on the bookself a modest certificate thanking her for 25 years' continuous service as a voluntary homecare nursing assistant. She had started this after retirement and continued it almost up to the day she died at the age of 86.

Listen up Crewes, Hudson, Ceileachair, Bowman and the rest of you - this is the sort of person that the church works through, whether directly or indirectly. Is it too much to ask that she can rest in the knowledge that the places she loved are being looked after, and that we can remember her in pleasant and respectful surroundings? A life like this has a far more profound effect on the people around it than all of you attention-seeking pseudo-intellectual anarcho-communists put together, and the spirit of such people will live on long after your pathetic pretend-revolutionary posturing and ostentatious press statements are forgotten. The local MP gave the best one-line summary so far of this charade when he said "better be careful what I say next or you're going to do that funny thing with your hands again".”

“@ThatExeterGuy. It's easy to criticize. It's easy to tell others what they are doing wrong and yet do nothing yourself. The economy is collapsing and the mega - rich are grabbing all the money. What do you suggest should be done? What are YOU doing? If you have any better ideas of how to achieve social justice then get on. Do it. I, and many others will join you.”

“i love how evil eddie hates all protestors! and alan_key i like your comments!”

“Does anybody have some bricks?. I'm more than happy to go and brick the door up while the occupiers are in the building. Then they can General Assembly, Consensus and put the little world they live in to right. If we set up a block and tackle system we can get food up to them if it's needed. Because with them planting for spring and summer around Cathedral yard, as has been done by certain people (Stuart Crewes) they can eat their own organic produce. Then they will be self contained, and not have to worry about us mortals out ruining the world.”
