Such an appearance by a senior MP in a non-privileged position in a mainstream media outlet is surely interesting. It suggests to me that her reading of the times is that there is a real problem with our elected representatives from both right and left being seen as detached, elitist, unaccountable and held in widespread contempt.
Is she trying to address the problem?

Diane Abott is certainly smart and astute enough to understand the rather rich ironies in the situation we see unfolding before us, and the awkward questions it raises about British 'democracy'.

Meanwhile it is almost embarrassing to see the brutally blunt antics of Dave, hawking and flogging the replacements for the equipment used up in the riots before the bodies have even been collected for burial. Got to admire him for his spotting of an opportunity! Our 'prime minister'-our representaive in the international world- is nothing but a salesman for a frequently criminally implicated 'business'.

Doesn't that make you feel good to be British.
But we shouldn't be surprised when we think of his 80's predecessor, Thatcher, and the way she managed to place her deep thinking, gun running, salesagent son in a juicy position to receive the handsome commissions from the Saudi 'businessmen'.
Still, no fear, there was always the ever pliant Mr Blair to close down any investigation into these 'affairs of state' or cosy up with Ghaddaffi.

Someone mentioned 'shameless'. Don't watch it myself but one can only think how well Cameron fits in here. Breathtakingly so.

It was great meeting G, Hawkeye and everybody else. The film was good but in the end lacked anger slightly at the end unlike UKuncut who have a clear sharp agenda against the financial class. Should have been more FUmentary than documentary. My buddy came out with a clear understanding of a CDO though so as an informative film it was excellent. the Robinhood tax ad was good too. Be nice on prime time tv. Bet that would take some cash.

Been writing new banksta rap What you gonna do? and for you metalheads – Theme From ZBDS. I'm sure you're coming on the 26th you can help with music videos if we can all meet up (I have plans).

While talking to Hawkeye's mate he was very keen on Positive Money rather than telling people about the fraud etc.
Without another option it's no good just complaining.
I'm of the opinion that the masses need education through films, music 🙂 , word of mouth, blogs etc otherwise nothing will get changed. If nobody has the information, awareness to be outraged then even the universes most perfect trade system will never get a look in. Meeting others of the same opinion made me see that everybody has a different angle, passion, expertise on what is a big subject and watching Cameron talking about freedom it is obvious that it is down to us, the people to take our passion and our angle on the issue and push it a little more and more and more. As that's all that we can do. I was going to say that when you and Rebecca were sitting in a tree, d i s c u s s i n g.

Both types of action are good. Go do 'em. Discussion should be the prelude to the manifestation of action. If discussion just remains that it is pointless. So I hope everbody will make the effort next month.

As for RoboLink, I think he's on recharge.

UniCredit not worried about impact from Libya

* CEO Ghizzoni says not worried for the group

The Central Bank of Libya is UniCredit's No.3 shareholder with a nearly 5 percent stake. The Libyan Investment Authority holds another 2.6 percent.

I am sure the clients and shareholders of UniCredit and its subsidiaries – Pioneer, HVB and Bank Austria are delighted to be contributing to the wealth of a sovereign that has been mercilessly killing its own citizens over the last few days.

I also nearly laughed tea out of my nose when Cameron was described as positioning himself as a 'torch bearer for democracy'.

On an unrelated note – what's happened to RichGB? And 24K? Has Golem sent them off on Black Ops?
