And of course the rest is probably going to be deferred etcetera. It's not exactly a "watch out, Abramovich!" situation. Is it?

No.

But try explaining that to the veggies outside St Paul's, why don't you!

All right. So meanwhile we're sort of stuck with these — dare I say it? —slightly  ghastly-looking hippies, with their tents.

We are indeed.

Expressing their disgust at the system —

A system they don't understand. Because you can't sell deferred shares, can you? Not immediately. Meanwhile the tax is often payable right away —

And we live in a free country.

Apparently. Yes.

And even David Cameron said...something.

What did he say?

He definitely said something.

Was he for or against?

Well I can't remember. But that's the thing — there doesn't seem to be a consensus. That's what's so confusing. I mean to say, what do YOU think? 

What do I think?

About...everything. Do you ever think it's a teeny weeny bit sort of — dread word — "unfair"? 

Well, I — look, I'll tell you what makes me really mad. Because of course, yes, I admit there are moments when you can't help sort of "wondering". Can you?

That's right.

But you know what made me finally see red, Lulu? Not the toilets thing. No. Not the — look, this isn't about freedom of speech. It's not about the "right to protest". It's not even about anti-capitalistism. It's about that poor girl who very nearly couldn't get married because they'd closed the cathedral.

OH!

One question, Tilly. Did the anti-capitalists give a fig? Did they express one single word of regret? They did not. Not so far as I know.  

Oh, goodness.

It's all very well, caring about the big ideas. "Fairness" and this sort of thing. But they single-handedly ruined that girl's life. Very nearly. And for that, for that, I say —

Oh, gosh yes! Absolutely! Chuck them out!
