Occupy Leeds set up camp on Leeds City Square

Yesterday, protesters from Occupy Leeds started to set up their camp next to the Christmas tree on Leeds city square. The question is for how long? I went down there today to ask them what they hoped to achieve, because I am genuinely interested, but no one was available to speak to me. I was asked to come back tomorrow, so I will, and keep this post updated.
