[OccupySheffield] [OccupySheffieldPrivate] public GAs

[Leela Simms]

I'm as confused as most people seem to be!!  Is there a GA tonight or not - I was told that they were Tues, Thurs & Saturday but       

this seems to have been changed (yet again)  I know ................ let's have another GA to decide (for the benefit of those not present
at previous GAs but who don't want to be excluded from decision making) and, of course, we have to include everyone in our decisions
(unless you have never slept on camp and then you have no part to play in the decision as to whether the camp remains or not)  I was
told this on my last visit to camp and have come away feeling very EXCLUDED from the 'elitist' group of individuals who seem to be
running the camp.
Mick - you describe yourself as an 'outsider'.  Well, that's how I feel now, even though I have been involved since day 1 and was one of the 'elite' 

who took the Citadel on 28 December and spent the following 3 weeks cleaning the place to get it ready for the National Conference!
Now I have been toldthat I have no say in decision making about the camp.  

Power corrupts - even those sad individuals who have found their 'niche'  in the occupy camps.

Is this decision a reversal of last weeks - last 
published (27th Jan) GA decision to hold GA's on Tuesday, Thursday, 
Saturday?  Will this decision be changed again - say next week to Monday, 
Wednesday, Saturday? dependent on who runs the GA? It might be helpful to list 
attendees so people can see who reached 'consensus
 
As an outsider, its impossible to commit to GA's as you 
keep moving the goalposts - from what I experienced at the Citadel on sunday - 
you have bigger issues to consider rather than whether to serve digestives or 
rich tea with the camp tea? Perhaps its just me, but something is not right and 
the falling off of numbers seems to underline it. Most revolutions tend to gain 
momentum, with Occupy its going the other way.
