Action, not words

It is time to stop pussyfooting around what has gone on with the banks. We don’t need another inquiry, we need action. Call in the law.

What are we, the people, doing? We have listened to politicians’ platitudes for far too long; we have watched our towns and villages die; we have watched our friends and neighbours go bankrupt; we have watched our young emigrate and, worse still, we have watched many of our people die by their own hand when they reached the depths of despair. Is it not time to stand up and be counted or are we going to let them trample all over us?
