This morning for instance, local radio carried adverts from one company offering portable gas heaters & a competitively priced delivery service for replacement cylinders, & another, which usually celebrates the virtues of conservatories, offering purpose built car ports & covered walkways ‘so you can get in & out without the aid of a shovel'.
Even the anti-capitalist protestors in London are not averse to a bit of enterprise. I heard one of their number, invited by Radio 5 to respond to the claim by the Metropolitan Police that most of their tents are empty at night, explain that the absent occupants were out scouting for alternative camp sites nearby in the event that they were forced to leave the area outside St Pauls.'They are being entrepreneurial,' he said. 'There’s nothing anybody can do to get rid of us now.'
