“For the first time since the second world war… we are in danger of losing this generation. There’s a level of despair out there… We’ve gotta have a government that speaks for all the community. These people see the bankers and their bonuses, and see they don’t have a job. They didn’t create this situation… If these were just criminals, why weren’t they rioting last week? It’s because they don’t have a stake in our future. The government’s “Plan A” isn’t working… We’ve got to have a society that gets people back to work.”
