Most importantly, it is ultimately counterproductive as goodwin will get his car fixed and his insurance company will pay for it not him.

He will just pick up his phone in the bahamas to be told all about it in retrospect by his accountant.

So it is pointless and counterproductive.

If London Gets smashed up, it won't be big business who suffers, they will claim on their insurance too. It certainly won't be any of the foreign dignitaries present or their entourage.

It will be local residents who use the buses, buy lunch at the cafes, drive on the roads, commute on the trains, rely on the railway stations ... and it will be small business owners who run the cafe, own the shop, rely on the pub etc ... not to mention that have to walk/drive/commute through the shit.

When mindless vandalism occurs, those at the top only read about it afterwards. Those at the bottom suffer the consequences.

Who are we meant to be fighting?

So shouldn't we think about a strategy that targets the right people in an effective way?

And shouldn't we be absolutely clear about what we are trying to achieve?

Great - Fred Goodwins car is temporarily damaged while he is out of the country - I really feel that the tables have turned - boy - thanks guys - social justice is here again.
