we don’t see it as left versus right or anarchy versus order.
but people taking action and applying pressure on a problem that politicians
are unable to fix as they are also the shareholders.
look forward to your comments and criticisms.

Was made more special to us by the fact that it was presented to us by the great drummer and Pink Floyd maestro, Nick Mason. Then there was a Pink Floyd night on the BBC at the end of the same week..and as I settled in, the lingering tipsy glow of the awards ceremony was replaced by one of immense humility at what I was seeing and hearing.


The unending greatness that is Pink Floyd..a band that still sounds and looks more modern and original than most of today’s brave attempts at experimental and progressive music.

Thanks again to Nick, a true genius.

Our reaction was to march and wave banners and then bail them out. These kids would have to riot and steal every night for a year to run up a bill equivalent to the value of non-paid tax big business has ‘avoided’ out of the economy this year alone. They may not articulate their grievances like the politicians that condemn them but this is absolutely political.
As for the ‘mindless violence’… is there anything more mindless than the British taxpayer quietly paying back the debts of others while contributing bullets to conflicts that we have absolutely no understanding of?
It’s mad, sad and scary when we have to take to the streets to defend our homes and businesses from angry thieving kids, but where are the police and what justice is ever done when the mob is dressed in pin stripe.
