I think we have our wires crossed, I was speaking generally.

As for the guys protesting, they are inconsequential deluded fanatics, there is not really anything more you can say about them.

I am with you up to a point when talking about the failings and unaccountability of the elite, however, I don�t see how you can claim government is the problem and free market capitalism is the cure.

If the financial crisis of 2007 taught us anything it was that a lack of regulation and the unquenchable greed of the private sector led to an unsustainable situation.

Also the let�s be clear we do not live in a meritocracy, in a free market capitalist system there will be winners and losers and as with any competition there are far more losers than there are winners. Without government and welfare who will provide for those that are not successful? Will it simply be a case of hoping that the winners are caring enough to provide charity?

I applaud their desire to speak freely and assemble peacefully. They need a new PR guy though.

I say restrict immigration, if you're going to accept immigrants from certain countries, there must be a rigorous process, they should focus on people with certain qualifications as they do in Canada. Those who don't like the larger population shoud not come. If I were a fascist, and I am not I would strip someone who carries a sign "shariah" for America to have their citizenship taken from them. These are mostly South Asians, and South Asian Pakistanis tend to have a large zealous population. I accept immigration from there, but not without properly scrutinizing the immigrants and not having just an open-door policy, and I know regular Muslims I've met don't want those type of people, either. Their views are protected under democracies, so you need to discourage their exact type from immigrating. I mean if someone from say Pakistan or Egypt or wherever doesn't appear like he would integrate well, don't bring him in, but if someone from there appeas like he would, then it's a different story. I wouldn't have let people who looked extreme in, and I've said such things 20 years ago.

I remember someone on Radio 4 a while back describing Christianity as being like a public swimming pool, that all the noise is at the shallow end. I�m not a Christian but I like the analogy and I certainly think it applies here, to these vile people. If you actually look they are few more than a handful of unemployed losers, and every demo they do consists of the same individuals and their numbers never get any bigger. Unfortunately their message is so appalling that they have done little more than to give justification to those who would demonize the entire Muslim community, and give rise to the EDF who are no more than a crowd of thugs.

This crowd were actually demonstrating at large against the intervention in Libya, so they must have been positively writhing in their dish-dashes to see David Cameron�s jubilant reception in Benghazi.

All that said, someone mentioned the large scale immigration of migrant workers from the Indian sub-continent during the sixties, and it does demonstrate something deeply dysfunctional in the Pakistani community, that children and grandchildren of the same generation of migrants from India are by and large now doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, big business people and generally very solid contributors to the British economy while great swathes of the Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities have not moved on at all.

I have no idea why so many of them chose not to take the opportunities living in Britain has offered over the years, but now that they have made those sad choices their last refuge from their own ineptitude is to hide behind Islam. How very convenient.
