London's City Hall Doesn't Belong To The Public

"If you don't like the decisions taken inside a political building you can stand outside and protest, so long as you remain within the rule of law. But this building is different. For City Hall is not the property of the public, but of the developers London Bridge Holdings, who are also building multi-storey office blocks around it...The corporate space outside City Hall may look public, but it will not be public in the sense that people can do what they like there. If scruffy protesters start gathering...private security will have the right to move the protesters on."
