Activist for the Occupy London movement, which had camped outside St Paul's Cathedral until evicted in February 2012. The movement campaigned for a new political and economic system that would put people, democracy and the environment before profit. He spelt out his reasons for occupying and objected to the press's use of the term "anti-capitalist"; personally, he said, he was anti-neoliberal, anti-corruption and pro-ecological, but not anti-capitalist.
