That's what I was trying to explain in the first place but the rudimentary nature of my comprehensive school education has deprived me of the ability to instantly articulate my thoughts in a concise way. So it was rather like the liberty that they took with Charlie Darwin's teachings I suspect... You know: the law of the jungle, winner takes all, man is a captain of industry and therefore should have no conscience because it's just a matter of natural selection, blah,blah,blah argument Which is perhaps why Darwin got depressed and spent the rest of his life almost as a total recluse... Mark - Glad to hear that the case was a strange sort of good news - at the very least anyway Keynes plan/teachings were therefore misinterpreted to suit the selfishness of the bourgeois supremacy and maintain their hold on power.

Mark — Glad to hear that the case was a strange sort of good news — at the very least anyway

Thanks - seriously - for the good wishes in court today folks. As was impossible to predict, therefore rather predictable, the appeal court judge threw out one part of our application but upheld the second part. All advice said the first was almost unassailable and the second much weaker. So the long and short of it is that the Arbitrator in the Sun and Doves' rent review has been instructed by the appeal court to reinvestigate his award and apply some figures to his calculations that were put to him by us (my side) but which he completely ignored in arriving at his initial rental increase figure. This, essentially is a victory, although not an earth shattering repudiation of the rent review process, and could mean that the rent set finally is fair and we won't be put out of business by the increase and back rent and the massive fees accumulated by the other side. So knackered, relieved and still here to revisit another day in court. As a precedent it will take time to filter through. Keynes as mustard.

And that’s all I know about Keynes!

But what's that to do with sunny Camberwell. Is there a Serfdom Road locally?
