"The Church of England entered the row over phone hacking yesterday with a threat to sell its £4m shares in News Corporation if it failed to hold "senior managers" to account over the scandal."

"Shares in the UK TV company were down 12% last week amid mounting concern in the City that the purchase could be blocked because the company may now fail to fulfil the requirement of being a "fit and proper" owner."

No connection of course. Apparently the church has an 'ethical investment advisory group'. What was their advice on the Dirty Digger's output? "Mild porn, racism, sexism, false witness - but Rupert's a Christian."

Actually, capitalism sucks, Jemmy. But still it is eons better than all other economic systems.

So sorry for your utopian fantasies.

You keep deriding my utopian fantasies while we all wait for the wealth to trickle down.

Waiting and hoping are not strategies. That's just being lazy.

It's not a zero sum game for gods sake. Wealth can and is created everyday - without picking somebody else's pocket.

Turn your blog into a more visible site. Attract viewers and commentators. Sell ads. It's not rocket science.

The best thing for everybody is to create NEWwealth. Moving money from pocket to another adds nothing and makes everyone a little poorer.

The govt and unions don't create wealth. They just redistribute the wealth that others create. Thats why they ae considered growth destroying parasites.

I'm still waiting for the crumbs from the bosses' table. Methinks we'll have to have the legs of and take 'em ourselves.

The church is a broad church. Some are more christian than others.

Capitalists create wealth? I've heard it all now.

If it was so easy why doesn't the government create this wealth on behalf of the masses? Then share it out amongst the people. Poverty and greed solved in one fell swoop!

Capitalism runs on greed and disparity. Take away the poor by making them rich and you remove the driving force behind capitalism.
