Illegal Security blocades St James occupation

St James's Square, London. Thu 9 Apr 2015

  

 
 

 We could hear through the doors, and see, but the reflections made photography difficult

 One of the secuirty was wearing his licence, but hiding it between his arm and his body - until he got angry and
lifted his arm to reveal his licence number

 Seven security guards and only one wearing his SIA licence - and that one was trying to hide it

 

 

 Police arrive and an officer comes to talk with the occupiers

 

 

  who complain about the illegal activity by the security guards who come from a company called LAPA security (though they would not admit who they
 
were working for) As well as the criminal failure to display their licences, preventing people entering their abode
is also a crime - and this applies to the occupied building as much as any other home. 

The security were also guilty of obstruction, an offence on the pavement (and one the police often use against protesters)
