Notices from City of London Corporation tell activists to move by 6pm on Thursday or face legal action.

The City of London Corporation has attached eviction notices to tents outside St Paul's Cathedral, telling activists to move them from the public highways by 6pm on Thursday or face legal action.

It is the latest development in a month-long saga that has pitted the protest movement Occupy London against the corporation, the local authority for the Square Mile, and St Paul's. Both institutions own the land around the church but only the corporation is pressing ahead with court proceedings.

The notice is addressed to "each and every person taking part in and/or having erected tents or other structures at St Paul's Churchyard EC4".

3. The Brits have a way of saying "FUCK YOU ASSHOLE" in 75 words and making it sound polite.

On Edit: I think it was Churchill (not sure) who was confronted one evening by a lady who said, "You, sir, are drunk."

He responded, "Yes, madam and you are ugly. But in the morning I shall be sober."

4. Another of Churchill's classics here

Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea.

Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.”

5. Yep - that's a great line.
