    Well, perhaps it is a bit of a compliment that No.10 think WDM and WoW are worth listening to and have the 00’s to say the truth. And perhaps it is a bit of an indictment of those that are still welcome as being too anodyne.

    Or perhaps we shouldn’t see a conspiracy it and it is simply a cock-up: WDM is confused with WMD and War on Want is too militarist and HMG under Gordot has learnt from Tone’s blunders and doesn’t want to go there whent they’ve nice friends like smiling Mr. Obama to be photographed with!

    World trade rules and labour conditions are where the rubber truly meets the road, and this is where WoW and WDM eat.
    They’ve always been too focussed and connected for anyone’s peace of mind.
    No peace of mind till we’ve won the war on want and developed a potent movement.
