Fabian Event

Todays Fabian event was very good.

Ed Miliband did the keynote address with just a few jokes about being mistaken for his brother and addressing the theme of fairness which was the aim of the event.

The discussions flowed over the crisis that capitalism had found itself during the credit crunch and that there was a rising wave of anger about the huge bonuses in the city and the totally unreal lifestyles of the super rich.

The credit crunch was seen as a seismic event that would shake the system comparable to the rise of Thatcherism and the consensus that evolved post war which led to Butskellism.

Watch with interest!
