Tamzin Lightwater's unique take on the week

issue 07 February 2009

Monday

Am bit confused about Responsible Capitalism. While wanting to Be The Change as always, the new RC guidelines are making the bagel run v complicated.

Not sure the little place on the corner fully demonstrates a ‘sense of responsibility and a moral framework’. On the other hand, the only real alternative is the big-chain coffee shop down the road which is clearly engaged in ‘booster capitalism’. And neither of them would appear to have a ‘vision for the country that connects the economy, society and the environment’.

Asked Wonky Tom for help but he shouted ‘For f**k’s sake just go and get the bagels!’ It’s all v well him taking this devil-may-care attitude. He doesn’t have to produce a report demonstrating Compassionate Conservative Snacking at the end of the month. Nor is he in charge of Snow Photo Ops which is a lot of pressure.
