Image of a naked and broke guy could also provide popular "gender balance". The link to this site is going to find its way into to every level of government, news rooms, average income domestic residences, professional organisations. It will be quoted in communications to political advisors...

Thanks! Now let's help this evolve. There's been an information dispersal=dilution vacuum. Despite a wealth of credentialed ftt rebuttals (many brilliant examples hidden here) the real facts have (until now) not been collated into an instantly useful educational one-stop-shop. The pro side has...

Host leaders use the G20 stage to push their own agendas – 2012 Mexico, 2013 Russia, 2014 Australia, 2015 Turkey. dwrowley: “I'm not quite sure why people don't universally see a FTT as both impractical to manage as well as an insanely bad idea...” clearinghouse: “There are web...

Andrew Macdougall for Canadian PM Stephen Harper:- "Canada does not support the tax (on financial transactions). We have an aid program for (the least developed) nations and we do not need another tax. This is not supported by Canada." Indian PM Manmohan Singh:- "In India, large...

That's a good letter. Words infer much to political advisors. Just about that final para "will". (Mostly the letter suggests ''The tax would"). I feel it's always better to write, "the tax WOULD" as opposed to "the tax WILL", because "WILL" definitely suggests the writer is thinking fait...

Osborne says UK is opposed to a FTT. (The usual G20 refusers should save him from politically imposed FTT lethargy next week. But this statement provides more certainty). http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-10-27/osborne-says-u-k-is-opposed-to-eu-financial-transaction-tax.html FTT...

This intelligent letter, and its publisher, are deserving of saner comments than the two idiotic responses thus far. http://blogs.news.sky.com/kleinman/Post:5ac15070-f292-4380-a1b2-3d54bf7869ad

This should be widely circulated and exploited. It provides a politically damaging and logical argument against supporters of the FTT/anti-capitalist protest lobby. (e.g. The prostesters have attracted to their irrational cause a very, very dangerous ally)...

Osborne's office would be aware the calls were an orchestrated campaign crescendo probably in the throes of the death rattles. The callers would be people who would never vote conservative, so he has nothing to lose by not acceding to pressures from misguided and therefore gullible protesters...

Nice public display of good citizenship, personal pride and cleanliness. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2046586/Occupy-Wall-Street-Shocking-photos-protester-defecating-POLICE-CAR.html#addComment

That should be HEADLINES, not tucked away almost out of sight. Obviously the charity has more financial resources than the old chap. It reads that he is angered by what appears to be an advertising campaign based on academically insufficient, one-sided information, which in turn could be legally...

Oz bankers: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8353596 The economically illiterate Green and promoter of one world government mentioned in this article would tax fresh air if he could.

The Barroso speech was sinister in its dogmatic content and almost hysterically dictator-like in its tone of delivery. Aside from business interests, the UK should watch out or they will be no more than a decimated outpost predictably brought down and interminably overshadowed as the result...
