Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

And the Mayor of Oakland has done it again, clearing the occupiers from the square opposite City Hall, bussing in a few hundred police from neighbouring areas.

They arrested 30 of the occupiers who were holding a prayer meeting (great TV footage I'm sure). There will be a meeting at 4 pm local to decide what to do next. It will be interesting cos the Mayor simply cannot allow them to re-occupy when the feds go home or the overtime budget runs out.

But you can't help feel that even when OO lose, they win in terms of publicity.

Meanwhile the Mayor's legal adviser has resigned in protest

Wonder how long before they try the "Syria Approach"?

They tried to assimilate me. They failed.
