Ho hum, stranger and stranger. Farber's 'Freemen' seem to be led by a man who wants to establish "a benign dictator".http://www.tpuc.org/content/what-cou...-%E2%80%98true Now where have we heard that before? Actually, ignoring the more recent examples, he reminds me of nobody so much as Oliver Cromwell in his 'Protectorate' days - with added atheism, and a rather different (if more honest) attitude to democracy, which Cromwell was of course all in favour of until it did something he didn't like.

Of course, the words of this lowly carpenter do sometimes appeal: "Every banker, lawyer, barrister and his or her assets and buildings would be seized in the peoples name. Every bank destroyed". I seem to remember reading about another carpenter getting upset by bankers/moneylenders, though his response was a little more restrained.
