Some kind of dilemna over meeting that insincere opportunistic bastard created a hazard to your health? Why on Earth do you think you got an invitation? You don't think that Blair was actually interested in aything you had to say, do you?

If they couldn't see that was the obvious conclusion to blindly selling them to the general public in one go then how can they see what's best for the earth? They made less than 900 tickets available (in a 1500 capacity club) without any restrictions (they claim they tried by putting max 2 tickets per transaction ffs). Surely they could have made more money auctioning off the tickets themselves, holding a competition, a raffle, or even just offered them to FOE members first as a way of preventing ebay touts. Weak excuses are what govenments are for, not those who seek to change things for the better. - ElvisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
