The thermal images that prove 90% of tents in the Occupy camp in London are left EMPTY overnight

These are the damning images that prove the anti-capitalist protest that has closed St Paul’s Cathedral is all but deserted at night.

Footage from a thermal imaging camera taken late at night reveals just a fraction of the makeshift camp was occupied.

An independent thermal imaging company, commissioned by the Daily Mail, captured these pictures after similar footage from a police helicopter found only one in ten tents were occupied after dark.

In these shots, taken late on Monday night, the presence of body heat from humans is represented by yellow and red inside the tents.

The tents that are coloured purple indicate they are colder and thus empty. The buildings behind are also yellow and red because of the higher temperatures inside.

The images suggest the vast majority of the demonstrators who gather around the cathedral to denounce capitalism during the day go home or to a hotel to stay warm at night.

But despite being an almost entirely part time protest, the activists last week forced St Paul’s to shut for the first time since the Blitz, and the cathedral appears unlikely to reopen for months.

Yesterday there were calls for the police to clear the camp at night when it is virtually empty. The Corporation of London has been talking with lawyers about launching court action, but so far no formal proceedings have begun.

Councillor Alex Deane said: ‘It is frankly farcical that most of these tents are unoccupied. It should be easier to evict part-time squatters.

‘They have to go. Surely even the protesters would agree that money spent on a lengthy court battle to clear the area would be far better spent on schools, hospitals, youth groups and housing.’

Someone with a thermal camera could really get a LOT of free camping equipment.

Yeah, but they’d have to spend a boatload of money on disinfectant in order to use it.

What do they do that would generate body heat?

Breathe, pump blood, etc.

Even a sluggish, stoned human maintains an average 98.6 body temperature.

These protests are all symbolic so why shouldn’t their corporeal presence be symbolized by the tents and not by their actual bodies. [snide on/]

This is straight out of Sun Tzu, lighting more or fewer campfires to control the enemies perception of your numbers.
