Peter Whittle on CentreRight believes that we should support the protests at the Lindsay oil refinery:
"The growing protests by groups of workers over the use of foreign
labour is evidence perhaps that working people, battered into
submission for years by a contemptuous governmental, cultural and media
establishment, are finally turning. Enough, they are saying, is enough."

Cameron calls for bankers to look after the poor
"Cameron said that the City should switch its focus from developing the complex derivative products that caused the crisis to providing help for the less well off.

Now they need to use those talents to help the poorest build assets." – Guardian
"The Conservative leader said his government would put families before profit. He declared war on firms that undermine family life by making staff work long hours and vowed to crack down on those polluting the environment." – The Sun

Peter Mandelson warns against protectionism
"Both politicians and businesses have to be utterly clear that the solution to the contraction in global growth is not protectionism or a reversal of global economic integration.

The decision by globally active banks to withdraw lending from their international operations can be just as damaging to the dynamic that drives long-term global growth." – Times
Matthew Parris: The English patient may not get better
"What if, by the end of the winter of 2009-10, those green shoots fantastically conjured up by Baroness Vadera this month, really do begin to appear – but only in America? What if China and India, after catching a cold, bounce back quite fast as clients’ economies begin to recover – but not ours? What if the economic trough into which Germany, France and other Northern European economies are also slipping, proves shallower for them, and their recovery comes faster? What if by spring next year the United States is demonstrably powering the global economy out of recession – yet we British still languish? What if our near-addictive past reliance on financial services hampers the restarting of the domestic economy here, because it is the City that has taken the most direct hit?" – Matthew Parris in The Times
