George Monbiot did come up with a good idea which I think people should pick up on.

Apparently, the sum total of all debts owed by 3rd world countries to the 1st world is around double the total of all assets owned by all the banks in the world.

OK? So, if the 3rd world countries really got it together and co-ordinated a mass default on loan repayments they could bring the entire financial system crashing down. In short, 3rd world debtors could have really got the 1st world by the goolies, if they could only unite.

By threatening a mass default they could negotiate much more advantageous terms of trade for themselves.

See? That's the kind of self-help and iniative I approve of. Nothing is achieved on the streets.

More profitable plantations!

Happy smiling colonial natives now!

European agriculture stinks - we demand more golf courses and housing estates! (OK, so Monbiot might argue with that one, adding his addition "and wildlife reserves")

World Government Now - You Know it Makes Sense!

Bigger Cages! Longer Chains!
