    I feel it, when I sorrow most;

    Than never to have loved at all."

    I hear China, North Korea, Vietnam and Cuba are nice this time of year.

    ‘Wrong positions / views.’

    WRONG? WRONG!

    I would suggest your apparent dogmatic stance tends to suggest you are just as ignorant, if not more so, as those you challenge.

    It's £90, or presumably free to Barry if it's in the window and he has a fire extinguisher.

    I’d love to be there but I’m already pencilled in for the ‘Capitalism Against Cycling’ event on the same day. We’re all going to buy sweatshop-made 42” televisions with our bonuses and throw them at lefty-pinko-cyclists.

    Maybe next time, eh?

    Yes WRONG - its the opposite of right or correct

    Try a dictionary if you do not understand the meaning

    Why do you think your views and positions are right or correct, as opposed to just positions?

    Also I would also suggest you also consult a dictionary to look up ‘view’. You seem to think have right and correct views, which of course implies there is only one view (the correct one), which doesn’t really fit in with the definition!

    Yes Barry, people who don't agree with you are just ignorant sheep, too stupid or scared to face up to what the fearless free thinkers like yourself confront them with.

    Well done.

    Now now chucky egg, if youre going to mock and try and position me in that way you need to be sure i care what you think.
    For sure youre buddies might cheer and jeer you on, (thats another herd mentality behaviour) and that might make you feel better but it matters not a jot to me.

    Serious question BaBo: Presumably you think that there are good reasons to protest against capitalism - what are they? If you want people to join your protest you'll have to persuade them with reasoned arguement.

    You're growing on me Barry.

    Where's the one footed ninja when you need to interpret the ramblings of a madman?

    Tell me, are you taking any medication for your crippling insanity?
  • hmmm good question Crapaud,

    To deal with capitalisms excesses and abuses effectivley we must first control the political framework which provides support and succor to Capitalism.

    We need a political system where self agrandisment and self serving politicians become a thing of the past. Thats where I propose to start. With the Establishment!

    Despite the theoretical issues with a monarchy, the practice is very different, what we really need are politicians that are answerable, have real life experience and less beaurocracy all round.

    Yes thats right, no super state in the middle but a government that provides the framework for a value not cash based society. In a way Capitalism is not all wrong, merely some of its excesses.

    must try harder.

  • I'd have thought exploitation, commodification and creation of false need are reasons enough to start with.

    When you can capitalise properly and use full stops Ill consider your grammar comments.

    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    That's some good advice there. Politics and cycling don't mix!

    What kind of government are you planning Barry..? One with ministerial offices by the looks of it. It won't work...

    You see, I'd actually agree with that. But I don't see a) what that has to do with capitalism or otherwise and b) how reinforcing the stereotype of the nuisance cyclist by attempting a two-wheeled shutdown of London is going to help. A more constructive approach might be either to vote for a politician you believe in at your next local election or to stand for local government yourself.
