Londons Burning!

Still a little bit of argy bargy in the City between crusties and cops is always good to stimulate things - it certainly provides pictures for use on punk cd covers..... :D

 :lol: :lol:

I think another problem with the top politicians today is that they're all career politicians.  In the past people tended to go into politics after a career in industry, business, landowning or farming - so yes, most of them were posh, but they still had experience of dealing with real people and real problems in the real world

My Brother suggested I try politics :lol:
I don't think parliament would enjoy my humour.

I'll be in the area of conflict on wednesday- it's on my walk to uni, so it should be an interesting journey :)

I was sitting on top of a bus-shelter playing Ukulele watching the crowds, good times! :lol:

Thank god some one there has some sense. Gordon Brown makes me sick, even in that video he was laughing it off and probably drawing on his pad. He needs to go.

S'nothing quite like running around the Climate Camp playing Ukulele with a pocket Marshall :lol:

and when i mention this to pretty much anyone i know?  if you've nothing to hide, what are you worrying about?

I've got things to hide, so they can all fook off  :lol:

Personally on the bankers thing, I think that generally they were all just working within the rules and systems that existed.  The whole systems flawed, not just the bankers.  Syaing that though, I think that a few years ago this was all foreseeable.  You can't have an econamy following the housing market (that's all a bit arse about face) and how the hell anyone thought that a model based on debt would be sustainable is beyond me.

As for the climate camp, I'd better not say who I work for.  We get a lot of protesters outside (and ocassionally inside chaining themselves to desks).  Makes me fell a bit bad when I see them and they look at me like I ate the last bit of their tofu and compost sandwich.  I might wear a suit and work for an energy company, but I'm a hardend eco-crusty.

What's this I hear about Gordon Brown announcing a New World Order? I've been looking into it but can't come to a conclusion. What exactly is he proposing?

Spot on. I went there for the 'bigger picture', not to scorn everyone as though they are individually responsible, and, as you can see, it was a wonderful day out.

I despise how biased the media was though, showing those morons smashing the windows, other than that and the police being quite over-aggressive everyone there was so friendly/peaceful in what I saw.

personally I don't blame the bankers, I think I understand how they think and they'll try and make money out of anything, they also add a lot more to economic growth than I do which improves our quality of life, our deregulation was a response to America's deregulation in order to stay competitive in the financial markets in my opinion

the guy in that youtube clip says we haven't been paying off national debt, yes it's got bigger as a number, but until recently over the years it was becoming a smaller percent of GDP, how this relates to other countries I don't know, but national debt always goes up in a recession

I'd be more worried about national debt if I lived in Italy

[ToneMonkey]

Makes you wonder who we're in debt to though doesn't it.

the bank of england just prints more money, the thing is if you don't pay it back, you get inflation problems
