in Debate House Prices & the Economy
Despite the weather forecast, I plan to travel to London tomorrow, and offer my support to the Occupy London demonstrators (I haven't seen the news yet today, so it is possible that they have all been arrested, in which case I will be on my own)

I have never been on any kind of demonstration before, and I was gutted that I didn't join the massive march against Blair's iraq war

ps I have a tent in my cupboard, but on this occasion I will be leaving it at home (the tent pegs are rusty, and would probably not penetrate concrete)
According to Clapton, I am a totally ignorant idiot.

    Good luck. I also regret not marching against President Blairs misuse of power and his toadying to US imperialism.

    I understand there most of the tents are actually empty

    however be careful because socialists can be very possessive about their own property

    Would that be a gay acorn, like Kylie?

    I'm sure the banks would be happy if the slave trade had never been abolished - they seem pretty keen to introduce a 21st century equivalent
