    You've read and understood that article, yet you can't see why a man slagging off mainstream politics and powerful businesses is just a back-bencher?
    I'm surprised that they haven't lynched him, to be honest.

    Well, he is clearly a very intelligent and articulate man and the fact that he does not go blindly along with the leaders is not a valid excuse to hold him down.

    In most walks of life that's exactly why you will be held down. You see it in business and politics all the time.

    Well it's not right and a symptom of our failing system. The country needs intelligent people of all backgrounds, beliefs and opinions.

    And we are back to the solution in the article. <ok>

    You are right, politicians have gotten used to the perks of looking out for big business and they will never give them up now.

    I assume you're still quite young, and have yet to realise that when it comes to getting on in life, intelligence and articulacy will get you knowhere. If you add personal integrity to that mix, you have a perfect recipe for everything people in authority fear most.
