I agree Alan, it gives me hope. I dont know why we are so apathetic in the UK - generally speaking - of all this. What Moore says applies here -equally so, especially in the City. If we dont stand up for ourselves soon it will be too late, game over for us little people. Even Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England, said he's amazed there hasn't been major unrest.
I'm really glad someone with a high profile, a celebrity figure, is speaking out loudly. People will listen to him. I hope we see a lot more of this. But I've been trying to think of a similar figure in the UK who could do what Moore is doing in the video, and I cant really imagine anyone who has big-time celebrity "fame" status, and who would be likely to speak up spontaneously. Do we have any famous people who people really respect who is likely to do this? We've had Bono and geldof but they were always a bunch of frauds in my mind at least. People love Richard Branson, but he's part of the problem (even though he pretends he's not). Who do we have? Alan Sugar? Bruce Forsyth? dave On 7 March 2011 17:48, Alan Sondheim <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thank you so much for sending this - it's amazing.
