I think what also warrants complaint is Foster's inability to let Nigel or Sam finish their responses to the few actual questions he did put to them, and his blatant statements of his own opinion unsupported by evidence.  For instance, saying that a small number of people at an Occupation in a city of half a million means we do not represent the views of the city; one could have countered that the Cathedral was barely half full on Remembrance Sunday so that shows that most people in Sheffield could not give a hoot about those who have died in conflict and war.  Foster also tried to make out that there had been little fighting on Church St prior to the arrival of Occupy yet anyone who's lived in Sheffield for any period of time will know that is not true. There may also be a conflict of interest with Foster and the Cathedral here:  http://www.sheffieldcathedral.org/news/press/last-laugh.php?PHP

Sheffield Live radio have been featuring us.  We are making constant and ever improving use of social media.  Our joint direct action with UKUncut on 17th December was seen by hundreds of people and received a lot of online coverage locally.  And the most important publicity is coming from actually meeting and talking to so many diverse people in person at camp.  Everyone apart from Peter Bradley that is.
