I have just posted the following comment on shiv5468's journal about the City Corporation's offer to the anti-Capitalist protesters. Please note that I am as against some of the actions of the hedge funds, investment bankers, speculators etc etc as anyone else. I just admire political cleverness...I actually think that the City Corporation have been

If they weren't clever they wouldn't be rich and powerful either.

I see you've not met my clients then. Rich as anything but haven't got two brain cells to rub together.

Hedgies are the worst tbh

Note that I said "some" not "all."

Presumably the bright ones are too involved in shadowy conspiracy to take tax advice

[shiv5468]

I reckon it was the lawyers advising them that got clever!

[lil_shepherd]

It is, isn't it? It's one of sallymn's. So is this.

I notioce the Cathedral hierarchy hasn't been nearly so clever - or, possibly, just focussed.

They don't appear to have been thinking at all. I could now make a snarky comment about them being theologians an' all...

I think they should take the deal; go somewhere warm for the winter and let the Occupiers who live in warmer climates carry the flag for a few months. See today's Guardian for the OccupyOakland strike that closed the 5th largest US port for a day. My grandson was there; said it was brilliant - his mother was a wreck until he got home however. Does the deal preclude their starting up again in the spring?

They won't be allowed to set up again, and they know it. There was a big protest camp up in Parliament Square for ages. It's no longer there, and anyone who tries to set up gets moved on sharpish.
