The Ginger Mumbly

Like Duncan Bannatyne, we all want to protect our family.

But if we were all allowed to make violent threats, backed up by promises of money, as Bannatyne did yesterday the world would be a more, rather than a less dangerous place. For how are we to know that the victims of Bannatyne's appeal forarm breaking won't be innocent members of our own family?

The challenge is to make the world more just, which in turn will make it safer. In our attempts to do that, the power of oligarchs like Bannatyne can appear to be part of the problem rather than part of the solution.
