Isn't it odd? The Middle East is seeing mass uprisings to demand work, democracy, accountability, the end of elites, the prevention of economic abuse by a few of the many.
At the same time David Cameron is offering unemployment, the end of the democratic control of public services, rule by a commercial elite and the capyure of the revenues of our state by a tony minority to ensure their own enrichment.
How long before people here will occupy Parliament Square and say enough is enough until this threat to our way of life is eliminated? I'm not sure it will be that long because in his planned sell off of public services he is relying on European competition law (how perverse) to ensure that this is a one way street - from which he thinks there will be no way back.
Have no mistake about it - what Cameron wants to deny for good is democratic choice. Labour has a duty to oppose - completely and utterly.

Oh now Richard,hardly really comparable,are they? There was not much chance of elections of any sort in most of these countries! And admirable as these struggles may seem,we have to consider they might be replaced by something even worse,more especially for women tho I`d say.
I love the Freudian(?) slip- “a tony” minority!!
Hopefully the TUC organised protest on March 26th will provide sufficient evidence of public opposition to the proposals for outsourcing all public services. Unfortunately our country has already been captured by a commercial elite, and we now are aware of how our economy is to be ‘rebalanced’. Cameron’s current trade mission, including eight of Britain’s leading defence manufacturers, to the Middle East during which he is visiting undemocratic Gulf states surely reveals that his comments in Egypt yesterday are pure hypocrisy.
Richard – From the way news of the events in the Middle-East has been presented to us, your interpretation here appears, at first glance, to be correct.
But when past events of this nature are analysed from a financial intelligence viewpoint, rather than that of the historian, it is often found that both sides of the turmoil are being financed by the same elite group.
No doubt the picture will become clearer as events unfold.
