    @radiodario I don't like that story.
  120. Tesco amongst those found guilty of fixing the price of milk and cheese. The whole thing estimated to cost consumers £270 million.
  121. OFT planned to fine over £116 million. But after "consultation" that was scaled back.
  122. So they were collectively fined less than £50 million. Tesco's share is £10 million, but they're counter-suing the OFT.
  123. The worst part : I'm still going to buy milk distributed by price fixers in price-fixing supermarkets.
  124. On average, they stole almost a fiver from every single man, woman and child in the UK.
  125. …in reply to @Slaktus
    @Slaktus no, i'm suggesting our government is both weak and uninterested in fighting these excesses, to our continuing detriment.

  130. …in reply to @Slaktus
    @Slaktus his point about anarchism is spot-on - but negates itself for practical purposes. after you accept it, the fight is still the same.
  131. @Slaktus the world would be better if *this* power center changed it's relationship with *that* power center, so : campaign finance reform

  134. …in reply to @Slaktus
    @Slaktus The ideals of equality and responsibility it was built upon have never been as upheld as well as now.
  135. …in reply to @Slaktus
    @Slaktus nah, the coalition is pretty sucky. equality was labour's bag, though they other flaws. but - using the long now - when was better?
  136. …in reply to @Slaktus
    @Slaktus "Burn it down and start from scratch!" makes less sense when shit has been improving. Even if it is more exciting.
  137. …in reply to @hannahnicklin
    @hannahnicklin Also means less resources on white-collar crime, more on poor people crime. Woo!
  138. I don' think the police response to the riots was wrong. I think it was pretty great. Main problem was not having enough of them.
