Conservative MP Mark Field expressed sympathy with the #OccupyLSX protests today, on BBC Radio 4′s The World This Weekend.

In an interview he said:

“I do appreciate there is an increasingly strong sense of injustice, and its not just the usual suspects on the left of politics, but increasingly a lot of middle class even Tory voting people who feel that capitalism is a game, that somehow its rules are skewed against us.”

He adds: “I think its resonating quite strongly and I suspect when the economic reckoning works its way through, as it will in this country in the next year or two, you’re going to see more and more of these sorts of protests which will resonate beyond the usual suspects on the left of politics.”
