    Our friend Eamonn Butler has a letter published in the Telegraph about thishttps://twitter.com/ASI/status/557886394434322433What he knows but has chosen to ignore is that £1.30 today, is the equivelent of £0.38 at 1981 prices. Ignoring inflation distorts the picture in favour of showing rising wealth over time… To compare wealth levels in money terms over time you have to adjust for inflation / deflation.EDIT: Unless he's getting the figures from a dataset already adjusted for inflation…

    Perhaps vivisection is unenessary I really don't know enough to know either way, but linking to anti-vaxxer crank science conspiracy theory websites isn't doing your case much good…

    Well yes. But it's about getting to the point where people are talking about you. That doesn't happen if you just sit on your arse and don't go out to people…

    I’m not sure either. I’ve just read the introductory article by him to a reprint of Pannekoek’s “Workers Councils” and I still don’t know either way…Here’s the other half of the comic including the punch line…

    Do you really think capitalism is interested in your health?

    Well yes to a certain extent. There's no surplus value to be extracted from the ill and infirm..Do you think "alternative" medicine is not a capital generating business?I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

    By the way, these books: NAKED EMPRESS, SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENT and VIVISECTION OR SCIENCE? are generally blocked by most animal rights organizations!

    Sorry, what do you mean by "generally blocked"?
