A mountain of discarded roadsigns and  shopping trolleys protects a makeshift camps of tattered tents.

Eight months after they first occupied  Finsbury Square, in the heart of the City of London, the anti-capitalist  protesters who have set up home there show no sign of waning.

As  another eviction threat looms this week, the 20 to 30 protesters - London's last  remaining Occupy outpost - have barricaded themselves into their squalid camp  ready to defend themselves against the police.

Before protesters were evicted from the  neighbouring camp at St. Paul's Cathedral in February, Finsbury Square was used  as an overspill.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。  p7 T* m4 _, Z. P7 Y

Islington Borough Council moved in March to  start eviction proceedings against the 'residents' of Finsbury  Square.

The most recent stay of execution expires on  Friday after Justice Hickinbottom ruled at the High Court last week that  Islington Council has the right to repossess the public space.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。3 r1 l, O8 ^& y+ [/ ?

Islington councillor Paul Convery insists the  time has come to move the camp on - claiming many legitimate protesters have  been replaced by vulnerable homeless people.

He told the  Guardian: 'The council has said from  the outset that we support the right to peaceful protest, and we have tolerated Occupy's presence at Finsbury Square since October.

'However, it is now apparent that the  character of the protest has changed and Occupy's presence is significantly  diminished. In the protesters' place, we now see a group of vulnerable and  homeless people who would be better cared for elsewhere.'TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。2 _  y& m3 p1 Q5 H7 d" A4 |

'In evicting this community, Islington  Council – who have helped to re-home some people that have ticked certain boxes – are potentially leaving some people in a much worse position than they are  already in.
