notice how these people build new stores with the extractor fans directed at the nearest busy road and then pump out the small of newly baked bread all day. 50 yards down the road and, mmm, must go in there. it's a pollution thing.

Interesting that last year Nestle were seen to be sponsoring Shelter ( advertised on london buses ). This does raise implications for corporate sponsorship of NGOs etc. If one looks at charity jobs advertised in the Guardian and on line sites it raises disturbing issues re greenwash and the 'sort of person' that is being employed in the new corporate not-for-profit sector. As does the lack of genuine training in this country, the appalling job choices that homeless and ex-homeless and ex-cons face. I have heard ( from several housing workers )of homeless charities who wont employ ex-homeless. Given the new disclosure laws and the upcoming ID cards it would appear that the state is influenced by Norman Tebbit's economic ideas of keeping a section of the workforce unemployed ( or unemployable ) to keep wages down ( coupled with schemes to push people into crap jobs and crap training ).

Yes there is a pattern of collabaration or collusion if seen in references of the logic of socio-economic power relations. ( etc. ) cf Bourdieu
