I would not say I am a "wannabe intellectual", I not a academic at all I left school after my A levels with no intent of university. The reasons I had Road to Serfdom is becose Hayek best discribes Free Market Capitalism and tell us of the dangers of Socialism. If that not the book to bring to a anti-anti-capitalist protests what is? I am happy there is only one spelling mistake as I am serially dyslexic and after a long day I would of thought more might slip through my spelling net. I do understand that the Royal Exchange is not a island normerly but when the march came in the protesters surround us making the Royal Exchange an island. With us and the press in the middle. "putting on their dads’ suits" Well I did this becose the advice was not to wear a suit as there was a risk you might get attacked. I have never been fan of bullys so I put my suit on to make a stand but it was not needed as the protesters where well mannered and respected us even the masked anarchists. I hope this clears up a few things, Thanks agein. Andy thank you for your comments.
