Capitalists - look away now


Back in the Highlands, and another night of loud rain & hail on the tin roof, so today has been designated a no-run day for reasons of energy conservation.
Meanwhile, the global protests against corporate greed and the consequential “austerity measures” seem to be spreading with encouraging speed and vigour, although the media coverage seems interestingly muted. A high proportion of what comment there is seems to be focussed on the apparent lack of clear goals, action plans, strategy documents & mission statements amongst the protesters. On the whole this is probably a good thing, because the more firmly rooted the protests can become before they are taken seriously by the 1%, the greater the chances of real change. The Trojans had a similar action plan with their wooden horse.
