Just noted that the leveller reckons we have a tradition of direct action to effect change in this country. So glad to hear it, because hitherto I thought we had a tradition of parliamentary democracy. Although we do have a tradition of hanging drawing and quartering rebels I suppose...

I am also extremely glad I make the leveller sick. It is part of growing up, being sick a lot. Something to do with your digestive system not being balanced until puberty. Perhaps when and if the leveller matures, he will stop being sick and deserve a place in respectable society. Until then, I note he called himself a layabout and scrounger. If the cap fits, wear it, but I don't know enough about you (or want to for that matter) to pass comment.

As I said, I will be at our London office, uncomfortably close to the area known as the city, tomorrow. I hope the police will do what tax payers ask of them and ensure my day is not impeded. I have enough distraction going to the voting station every three or four years. You see, that is how we effect change here. If you don't like it, find a different country or set up a party and get elected on your own manifesto.

Direct action does not work, and if it did, it would be a very sad day for civilisation. Nobody disagrees that the banking world has been too powerful over the years and the bubble has well and truly burst. But before we get too excited, the G20 are getting together to try and sort it. They may fail, but fettering their progress guarantees that they fail!

Is that simple enough?
