Randle on the G20 protesters and the world's chancellor

I always enjoy reading Jeff Randle,even though I rarely agree with him and his column in the Telegraph this morning is no exception.

This is his take on the G20 protesters

The participants form an itinerant version of Agent Harman's Court of Public Opinion. They picket summits, spew out grievances and then drift away to squats, welfare cheques or, in the case of one wannabe cannibal, a professorship (albeit suspended) at an institution laughably known as a university. Having caused mayhem, some will conclude: job done.

but his fury extends to the Prime Minister

For more than 10 years, decent folk have been roasted on the spit of a Chancellor-turned-Prime Minister who, having failed miserably as the regulator-in-chief of financial services, is now trying to rebrand himself as a statesman of international repute. It is a shameless performance from a leader who has buried his country deep in debt, while building up a democratic deficit among those whose voices he blocks out. The G20 shindig is his last chance to claim a triumph, even though it will be a fudge.
