I'm just wanting to update it and give some feedback and what I feel its useful for other anarchists to hear about. I was there last night and am just home now for a short break before I head back up for tonight.
The atmosphere is excellent. The parents are in really good spirits and getting more and more confident, stronger and determined.
There was a brief showing of other leftists for the demo today, and they might start getting involved now, however so far the occupation has been purely comprised of parents and Anarchists with lots of support and practical solidarity from Anarchists throughout Glasgow.
This was in large part due to longterm involvement of individual Anarchists in the area, including with housing campaigns, and through the Burgh Angel. This sort of sustained, committed contact meant that it was an Anarchist who was contacted before the occupation and he let the rest of us know that they wanted our support.
Its been an amazing experience so far. The parents (all mother so far) are absolutely terrific. They are articulate, audacious, intelligent, militant and very clear about what they are doing and why. We had a total ball last night - laughing, bonding, dancing, with lots of tea drunk and very little sleep. The parents especially, but all of us, were really enjoying that delicious feeling of liberation from taking audacious and militant action against those that seem to have all the cards and power.
Today we had lots and lots of press. The parents have been giving interviews from the only openable window. eg http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/7983056.stm
They've had impressive cynicism about both politicians and press. 
As I said, they're pretty much all new to any sort of politics yet they're incredibly savvy and learning quickly every day. And they're so loving it! So loving taking matters into their own hands, feeling their power maybe for the first time. I can't imagine any of them coming out of this experience unchanged. Their confidence, and class consciousness as well as skillset is already hugely grown. For me this is what makes it vital revolutionary activity that all Anarchists should continue to support in every way we can.
