PEOPLE across Britain have applauded the forced removal of smelly hippies who believe exactly the same things as they do.

As police cleared the Occupy London site at St Paul’s Cathedral, millions of people who think bankers are horrid urged police to truncheon the filthy scum who have spent the last 100 days highlighting the horridness of bankers.

Tom Logan, from Hatfield, said: “I don’t know who I hate most – the bank that sent my business to the wall while awarding huge bonuses to its failing management or the human sewage who have been pointing out what a fucking disgrace that is.

“Look at them, with their hair.”

Helen Archer, from Stevenage, added: “Being angry about banks should be done as quietly as possible. Preferably inside one’s own head. If George Osborne could read my thoughts then I suspect things would change overnight.

“Kill them all!”

Margaret Gerving, a retired headmistress from Guildford, said: “Why aren’t the police using a machine gun on that young man who is praying? I thought this was supposed to be a Christian country.

“Would you like to see my feet? They’ve gone blue.”

The clearance of the site means tourists will once again be able to enter St Paul’s and think selectively about Jesus while admiring the underside of a reasonably large dome.
