"Possibly the not eloquent or intelligent way of expressing my feelings towards self-serving political ideologies."

Again, wow. Blinkered much? :-p

This is why modern poltics is such a clusterfuck. Sigh.

I know that there is no reason for me personally to feel thankful for this blog-entry Andy, but I do anyway. Can you allow me to feel at least part-responsible for your interest and belief in Fairtrade?

If nothing else, a big thank you for the advertisement of the event tomorrow. It should be good!

Yeah, sorry Dickie. Possibly the not eloquent or intelligent way of expressing my feelings towards self-serving political ideologies. But sometimes vents have to be had.

"The exploitation of the Have-nots by the Haves continues as ever, on a greater scale than ever before. It’s sick crap legitimised by a squalid ideology"

Yeah. Its scary/sad how much big business seems to be oriented towards simply making the rich, richer.

"I've come to a conclusion that right-wing-ness is for thick people"

Wow. Just... wow.

Damned right - especially to the point that Fairtrade is not a complete solution. But yes, it will always be a start. I've come to a conclusion that right-wing-ness is for thick people, but then I would say that, I guess.

Oh, yes, and "plug for an event my friends are organising" makes me feel like a very bad girlfriend in the analogous Durham situation....!
