When visiting my mother yesterday I had the unfortunate experience of glancing at this highly partisan article from Paul Dacre's shitty little rag, the Daily Mail. My initial reaction was one of, don't be reticent, tell people whose side your really on.
And it is no small article, there are reams of the stuff; what a pity it's all bullshit. But hey, what are truth and facts to the Mail, it's not as though it comes as a surprise when they make shit up. No of course it isn't, it is after all the Daily Mail.
These are the damning images that prove the anti-capitalist protest that has closed St Paul’s Cathedral is all but deserted at night.
Footage from a thermal imaging camera taken late at night reveals just a fraction of the makeshift camp was occupied.
An independent thermal imaging company, commissioned by the Daily Mail, captured these pictures after similar footage from a police helicopter found only one in ten tents were occupied after dark. A host more shite here.
Yes, all very well, but herein lies a problem, it's all bullshit.
Following all the media hype (Telegraph, The Times, Daily Mail, Daily Express) about 'empty tents' at OccupyLSX we decided to check out whether their thermal imaging evidence was true.
We got hold of *exactly* the same thermal imaging camera and showed that - surprise, surprise - you can't tell when people are in their tents.
So don't believe the lies - come down to OccupyLSX and join the vibrant community of people working for a better world. http://occupylsx.org
Oh! I almost forgot.
Surrender of St Paul's: Protest rabble force the cathedral to close, a feat that Hitler could barely manage The Wail
Nice headline.
But I do wish I had a nickel for every time the media have wheeled Hitler out. When all else fails, bring on Adolf

The air inside the tent would take some time to heat up from the body heat. But eventually it would be visible via a thermal camera from the exteria. A modern house isn't able to mask a thermal signiture so I doute a tent would.
