One thread to rule them all ...
From SCMP's live blog:
3.20pm: The Federation of Students warned the government that they would “escalate” their action if it refused to come to the negotiating table with acceptable terms.Federation secretary Alex Chow Yong-kang, appearing in a press conference with other protest leaders, said: “If they do not give us a just and reasonable answer to all the occupiers, there is no reason to persuade people from retreating.
"If the government keeps denying the meeting, we could see that one of the options is to block the government building again.”
Scholarism's Joshua Wong and Occupy Central co-founder Benny Tai reiterated calls for the public to gather on Harcourt Road and around the government headquarters in Admiralty.
Chow said adjustments would be made if the government shows genuine, good intentions. "It really depends on the terms and conditions offered by the government for us to adjust the meaning and strategic locations of our occupying movement," Chow said.
