Come on people, how long have the occupiers been together, give them a break, after all they are not funded by a BANK with spare money to throw around, are they ?

Frustrating at times, YES, but cynical, NO.

I think it’s cockup, not conspiracy. (a) I guess when the march was organised, they didn’t realise the Jarrow march would be ending at the same time. (b) The Web site is poorly organised (though getting better). Witness the fact that the re-arranged rally wasn’t published on the front page till some time after 8am today, though it was agreed sometime yesterday. Put (a) and (b) together…

I don’t think anyone is against ‘success’ per se…this movement is, from what I gather, asking us to question how is it achieved and at what cost?

At great danger of sounding cliched, how much does an individual actually need to live a happy and contented lifestyle? A comfortable home isn’t enough, a second or third is needed as a holiday retreat or for investment? I read a few years back of a ‘normal’ couple owning 13 (!) houses, 12 of which were rented out. In their own small way each of those purchases fueled the increase in house prices, in turn resulting in some people becoming even further away from being able to buy their own home and, ironically, making it more likely that they rent (and into the hands of those like the aforementioned couple). I know you can’t legislate against that kind of dynamic (or can you?) but this about us all making long term decisions and battening down in our own minds what is enough, what do we need as opposed to what do we want as the latter path is potentially never ending…

“Then they send in the police and you are arrested for your pains. Later they will insist it was their idea all along”.

Is it possible that he was talking about David Cameron jumped on a husky sledge?
