Massive Attack and Thom Yorke hold secret Occupy London gig

Massive Attack and Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke have held a secret gig to back Occupy London protestors.
The Unfinished Sympathy group and Yorke performed for around 100 people at an undisclosed location in the capital.
According to the BBC, the gig was staged as a thank you to the people protesting against corporate greed. The protestors moved into St Paul's Churchyard in the middle of October, before going on to Finsbury Square and an empty bank building in Hackney on November 18th.
Part of a worldwide 'Occupy' movement, the demonstrations began on New York's Wall Street.
The City of London Corporation (CLC) is taking legal action against the camps after complaints of "late night drinking and other worrying trends".
Stuart Fraser, policy chairman of the CLC, told the news channel that "tents, equipment and now, increasingly, quite a lot of mess, is not what a highway is for and others are losing out".
Legal documents revealed "defecation and drugs" to be listed as problems outside the protest camp at St Paul's.
