this whole thing feels to me like a deliberately storm-provoking opening move. They will came back soom with something else that's only slightly less outrageous, and everyone will breathe a sigh of relief because it's not as bad as it could have been, and 'we have listened to our customers'. They will then bit by bit start nibbling away at it until they've got what they wanted in the first place. It's a very common ploy used by politicians, property developers and other greasy bastards. A couple of years ago there was a plan put forward here to build some collosal tower blocks at the end of the street, right by the river, spoiling a world famous view. Of course there was a storm of protest; the developers 'listened to local residents', and got permission to build stuff that would probably have been rejected if they had proposed it first time round. A few months ago, building halted 'due to the downturn', but has recently been restarted but they have proposed a change to the plans which almost reinstates what they originally asked to do. It becomes a war of attrition as these greedy bastards do their damndest to fuck the ordinary people every which way in pursuit of their filthy lucre. 'Monetize'. Whoever thought that one up should be buried up to his chin in concrete and his mouth used as a public toilet. At 20p a time, to monetize it.
