Occupy London campaigners have taken over a derelict building owned by investment bank UBS…The building they have taken over at Crown Place belongs to, but is not occupied by, UBS and no business transactions take place there. The activists plan to set up a “bank of ideas” there tomorrow and open the disused offices and meeting rooms to “those who have lost their nurseries, community centres and youth clubs due to savage Government spending cuts”.

No no… those are UBS's regular employees
Explains a lot doesn't it?
“those who have lost their nurseries, community centres and youth clubs due to savage Government spending cuts”
The fuck is a community center, anyway?
It's UBS they'd still fuck it up
Well the occupiers can't do any worse than the people in the offices where business transactions actually do take place.
Alex: What we were after now was the old surprise visit. That was a real kick and good for laughs and lashings of the old ultraviolent.
You can derelicte my balls, cap-i-tan
I think it's a really nice crack house
If you cared about other people,
if you can look outside your shell,
you would know
Lost community center??!?! This calls for Turbo and Ozone!
I believe they're called "titty bars" is Texas.
If only these idiots knew what we are doing directly beneath them…..but it really helps our cover.

If you were a functional human being,
if you contributed to society via a job,
you wouldn't have these problems.
Who knew the British government subsidized lawn & garden centers?

I bet you their P&L will be better than UBS's!
We plan on turning UBS Stamford from the world's largest trading floor to the world's largest titty bar

Dear Brandon,
Virginity /= Legitimacy

It's where peaceful Islamists and former ACORN workers share ideas.
Actually, I now own that building and a Bank of Ideas is exactly what we will make of it. And we will rescue the people from Loompaland, which is nothing but desolate wastes and fierce beasts. And the poor little Oompa Loompas that were so small and helpless, they will no longer get gobbled up right and left. No Wangdoodle will eat ten of them for breakfast and think nothing of it. And so, I say, "Come and live with me in peace and safety, away from all the Wangdoodles, and Hornswogglers, and Snozzwangers, and rotten, Vermicious Knids."
Well it was owned by UBS, but then we had a little trading 'miss hap', and we couldn't pay the mortgage any more, and then, as we'd already packaged up our mortgage, and sold it on, we got foreclosed on, and booted out, so does his mean we can come back in as one of “those who have lost their nurseries, community centres and youth clubs due to savage Government spending cuts”?
I think there's a word for this, carma, calmer, or something, but I can't find it in my Barron's business dictionary.
The risk manager wasn't a bridge champion. I was. ACBL Grand Life Master muthafucka.

Is this from Dr. Suess's Yertle the Turtle?
…as well as a breeding ground for future US Presidents
Unauthorized rogue housing. Prosecute.

What about those of us who lost our nurseries and community centres due to poor management and failure to make our enterprises economically viable? Can we use the bank of ideas too?
"The building they have taken over at Crown Place belongs to, but is not occupied by, UBS and no business transactions take place there."
to be clear, no business transactions take place at UBS.
this building or otherwise
talent can take MetroNorth to the "office" …
individual dressing rooms…
room to mount swings…
Capital Grill & Mortons can deliver…
This has REAL potential!

"youth clubs"… aka tents to lose your virginity in
As well as future UBS MDs which seems to reinforce the assertion of the first guest.
Phenomenal. Bravo.
Prefer (.Y.) myself.
Derelict? Maybe. Worse than Weehawken or Stamford? Not really.
This time around, we don't even have to talk bullshit to offload our shitty subprime real estate to the little people.

Dropping your kids off at a derelict building occupied by trespassing anarchists who are repurposing conference rooms as unlicensed day care facilities has to be the NKI.
UBS worst IB ever. THey are not going to have employees left.
"The building they have taken over at Crown Place belongs to, but is not occupied by, UBS and no business transactions take place there".
They only occupy what belongs to you.
"Business Transactions"??? and what the he** is that?
