jazzy_daveOn my way walking up Moorgate today my eyes became focused on a protest camp in Finsbury Square which is related to the similar anti-capitalist camp set up outside St. Paul’s. Being of the left wing persuasion I gave them a thumbs up, and took a couple of photos with my camera phone. Moorgate is so close to the central banking area of London.
It is a truism that rampant capitalism does not work, and it is a disgrace that the 99 % seem to be powerless against the voracious greedy immoral one per cent.
What the current protests lack though is the political hegemony and the will to change the status quo. It is early days yet, and such leadership could emerge if things get worse.
