The discussion I was involved with on Radio 4 yesterday is here.
I hope I clearly rebutted the suggestion that protestors must have all the answers to the world's problems before they say there's something wrong. That is the coward's way out for politicians who are getting us into deeper mess and are clueless as to what to do about it.
Thanks for reading this post.

That link doesn’t seem to work for me. I found the interview at http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer/episode/b0167zks – starts about 16:50.
The fact the protesters are ill informed or confused speaks to the effectiveness of the media/school indoctrination brainwashing system. If you were to ask Fox news viewers who was behind sept 11 attacks they would swear on a stack of bibles it was Iraq and Saddam Hussein, In fact giving a questionnaire to fox news viewers would be a good way to prove it is a propaganda outlet for the military industrial complex and the banksters.
Good work Sir, keep it up. Thanks from ‘Shelter’ group @OccupyLSX
Thanks
Appreciate that
Have slight concern representing anything to do with #occupylsx when it’s clearly not me who is occupying
Seemingly there isn’t a lot of occupying at all in the evenings – only 10% occupancy according to the police.
16.54 in for those who don’t want to listen to other stuff.
Crikey – that’s precise!
I was astonished how lame Hancock was
“no, I want to talk about St. Paul’s now…” – I enjoyed that very much!
Yes he was rather pathetic and you certainly won the argument.
Mathew Hancock: ‘We are lucky to have a democracy’. Clearly Hancock has no knowledge of British history because luck has nothing to do with it (unless of course he means that the masses are ‘lucky’ that the rich and powerful ‘allow’ us to have what passes as democracy, which is what I suspect).
Nicely timed intervention right at the end of the interview, Richard.
I wasn’t being shut up then!
Is that how it works (as if I didn’t know).
And just to prove how far wide of the mark St Paul’s is, Richard, see this in The Guardian.

A taster:
The pamphlet claims that in combination with a “central world bank”, such an authority would help restore “the primacy of the spiritual and of ethics”, as well as “the primacy of politics — which is responsible for the common good — over the economy and finance”. Financial transactions would be taxed to promote global development and sustainability, while “virtuous” banks helping out the “real economy” would qualify for state subsidy should they need it.
Who controls the land, that Occupy LSX has chosen to err …. occupy?
It was granted by Rothschild’s in a state within a state where 9000 voters and 24,000 companies can vote.
No were else in Britain allows companies to have the vote, except here.
To have a vote only requires that you have an office and the number of votes relates to the number of people you employ. It’s an enigmatic, taciturn, Masonic jungle and the head of the snake.
Is this why they chose to protest here?
