50,000 strong march in London

Out,_Vile_Jelly

I went to central London yesterday for the bus cavalcade. Saw a couple of discarded placards and guessed some unwashed provincials had been stomping about. I suspect Londoners would have assumed they were filming something set in the 80s.

Change is coming!

People are no longer willing to watch their salaries, their living standards, and their liberty, fall year on year while the revolting greed of the 1% and their poodles in Westminster continues unabated.

So these people want more money, and better living standards, but it's the 1% who are greedy?

That makes no sense at all...

Also, living standards are on the up, pay is on the up.

An awful lot of these protestors seem to be made up of comfy middle class white people. They enjoy a safe society, fee education and healthcare, reliable electricity and water, a state pension, decent roads, a legal system able to convict the powerful, a pleasant land and climate, full bellies and free speech.


Most of them to me come across as incredibly spoilt naval gazers that demand we the special British have a birth right to live hugely beyond that we produce.

I'm pretty sure I saw a picture of Russell Brand with his top off on the Sky News website. Put me right off my lunch and didn't induce me to want to actually read the article.

Does anyone other than a 6th form student fall for this bull?


Oh boo hoo, we took a slight dent to our world class living standards and GDP, how inconvenient we don't have a one way street to the promised land.
We always spent far less of our net income on food compared with those in the developing world. Lets thank our good fortune.


Go to a rough estate, I-phones and trainers abound as do killer dogs and satellite dishes, there are a mass of costly takeaway food options round the corner and many of the folk are over weight.

Brand worth tens of millions, how much does he ensure his stage cleaners get?


I bet he takes no interest whatsoever. Naive fools fall for his faux socialist demeanour.

Consumer confidence encouraged by recovery of economy
http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/consumer-confidence-encouraged-by-recovery-of-economy.24549146

The average UK household now has £171 a week of surplus or "discretionary income" - up £4 a week year-on-year - thanks to an inflationary fall in the cost of food, clothes, mortgage interest payments and plane tickets.....It was also another record month for the labour market with the fastest rate of employment growth since 1989, with an additional 780,000 people in work.

It looks like the revolution will be postponed for a while.
