May’s sharp fall in jobless numbers added to the greenness of the ‘recovery’ (or less bad) thesis; overnight June’s unemployment figures were so awful that they could have stunted at least, the wavering shoots.

The market is down 58. Poor finish to the week. We have disappointing US employment figures to thank. The Futures were down 82 overnight.

The arrest and exile of President Zelaya in Honduras takes on all the classic appurtenances of a latin american coup.

First Dog for PM!!!!!
Margaret Meade was right - both in relation to little groups not to be daunted, as well as big groups are useless at leadership. As MM put it ‘it’s only little groups that have EVER changed the world’. And we are supposed to think these guys will achieve anything. I went to a real big sustainability conference in Newcastle in 1997 - now we are looking down the barrel. Then there was Rio 1992, Bali late 2007. Politicians are playing us all for fools for sure.
