Regarding Newsnight, if they didn't have the bollocks to name him and face the consequences, they should have kept quiet. His name is already common knowledge online, if he's innocent this has finished him in the worst way, because he never gets to defend himself.

OWS is going to start buying distressed debt (medical bills, student loans, etc.) in order to forgive it.

Yes, if everyone started doing it then the trillions of dollars that the world is in debt to itself (and that is one of the reasons I just can't get my head around the more abstract economics of capitalism) would just vanish as the world buys its own debt at cut-down rates and writes it off.Being645 wrote:That sounds very interesting.
