From Mr David Bowen
Sir, - It cannot be a coincidence that
the first anniversary of the Occupy movement's protest on the steps
of St Paul's saw Amos's prophecy as the Old Testament reading last
Sunday.
Occupy pointed up that the unregulated
form of capitalism which had created the world's economic crisis
trampled the poor anddeprivedthe majority of the results of their
labour in order to provide unnecessary comfort and luxury to those
who gained excessive wealth by their speculation.
Perhaps the opprobrium that the
protesters received was because we, too, "abhor the one who speaks
the truth".
