[Yoghurt on a Stick]

I can't make it on the 15th because I'm working that day. You should try it.

when Alan Sugar comes out of that blue-glass room into the board room on The Apprentice I'm always waiting for him to fan his hand across his nose and say "I'd give it a few minutes".

Sickening... government nazis...

I'm sure the same old people will be supportive and sympathetic, and the same old people will be there applauding the police, while a minority will have switched sides, probably due to their own financial situations looking bleak, shaking them out of apathy. This movement is moving in baby steps which is all it can do really. You can't expect to slam a runaway train into reverse and expect the laws that bind it to the track to abide.

The best you can do is hope that it isn't past the point of no return and to just incrementally slow it down before it flies off a cliff killing everybody on board. We're still in the "thinking time" stage of the braking process. Some have noticed the track is going over a cliff, nobody knows where the brakes are, some are looking for them, some are wondering if the train we're on is in fact fitted with any brakes at all - and they're drawing up plans to fix the problem. Some are asking why we're on a train, and who put us there. Nobody knows how any of the solutions can be executed though, which is the problem.

Unfortunately they're being drowned out by the pacified opinion of morons with crayons stuck up their nose who think that making the train go faster will allow the train to somehow leap over the broken track and land safely on the other side because the train has made it over a few kinks before. They think that if passengers from one carriage invade and steal things from another carriage and kill everyone in those carriages and throw their bodies overboard and enslaving the rest it will make the train lighter and more likely to magically fly across the chasm, preserving the ones with the fortitude and courage to slaughter the others. The people on the train who aren't psychopaths question this method and wonder if the price is worth the gain.

Then there's the people who believe the train is magic and has a will of it's own, and that the chasm is merely a test that the train has conjured in order to test the passengers faith. Thankfully nobody really listens to them any more.

Meanwhile, the cliff edge hurtles closer, and closer and closer.

It's not the end, despite the media pushing this insane notion that it's been resolved. Back to business as usual everybody! Your government has figured it all out! Just sweep it under the rug and hope it'll just go away - what could possibly go wrong?

Occupying police cells this morning...

30 years ago, they would have been occupying those cells illegally this morning.

It used to be the case that it was illegal to carry out evictions during the hours of darkness, on the basis that it's unreasonable to expect someone to be able to find shelter elsewhere after dark.

The amazing 'liberal' views of the people in this country seems to have had that changed.

Meanwhile those 'liberal' views have Dave Moron saying just how great self-regulation is, and the the idea needs rolling out across more areas of business. Because they won't cause those 'liberal' business owners to abuse their position, oh no, or to fuck things up and cost Barry Fish a packet which he'll blame on the poor.

wouldn't be surprised to see fuel protests next month as well.

If the old bill and the establishment think that moving a few people away from St Pauls is going to make the general population forget - they are sadly mistaken.

I think this year is going to see civil disobedience on a scale not yet witnessed in this country.

That's nice dear, now where's they buffet car

this may of be of no use as I can't rememebr the guys name but a great believer in Capitalism (and this is where I thought of you) and one of those american captains of industry. He was on the radio a couple of days back saying how he agreed in principle with the occupy movement but though the solution was to let it take it's natural course and was to see what was out the other side. In other words let the Banks fail and Greece as that is the way Capitilism works.

So should we let the train slide of the cliff and from the ashes a new shiny ballon will rise carrying us all into a new dawn. Or just tapper with the brakes to try and stop this thing put it in reverse and slide back to slimesville where we came from.

We need it to collapse more before the revolution happens, if it ever will. I don't see ideas being banded around that has hope attached to it.
