Field: The battle for St Paul's is a challenge to us all
The protests outside St Paul's cathedral symbolise a deeper unrest within Britain's society, Mark Field has said. Writing exclusively for PoliticsHome, the Conservative MP for the City of London says that the protests are a culmination of "massive rifts" created over the past decades "between young and old, debtors and savers, East and West". Homelessness charities have warned that the protest camp is becoming a magnet for homeless people who are abandoning shelter, medication and food for a "temporary sense of community".
