Free Trade Rally - Breaking Down The Barriers

From today's "Breaking Down The Barriers Rally". The first one is of me being interviewed by French radio. I explained that French taxpayers and consumers were losing out because they were having to support a large farming community and this also meant that they had less choice, especially with regard to agricultural products. I also met up with a French newspaper reporter and talked with him as well and put a similar view again.

The next is me with three of the Lion Rockers. Andrew Shuen is on the left and Simon Lee and Andrew Work are on the right. They did a lot of hard work to get this event going. Also there were one or two bloggers from Hong Kong.

The last photo is with a Guardian journalist who interviewed me about my free trade views. (With the rise of the blogs, the reporter is now being reported about!) I also met a Mirror reporter last Tuesday in Victoria Park. Both of them were thoroughly polite, maybe it is the sub-editors that take their work and turn it into the complete opposite! The Daily Telegraph was also there to take down a few words as well.

The important thing today is that a lot of media turned out to hear the free trade message loud and clear, with an emphasis on why free trade and capitalism are moral. Free trade is good and so why not get as much of a good thing that is possible.
