Err, hang on -- how many allotments did they obliterate, moving them to 
completely unsuitable land for cultivation, to make the view from Olympic 
Park look less peasantish?

"We are not for names, nor men, nor titles of Government,
nor are we for this party nor against the other but we are
for justice and mercy and truth and peace and true freedom,
that these may be exalted in our nation, and that goodness,
righteousness, meekness, temperance, peace and unity with
God, and with one another, that these things may abound."
(Edward Burrough, 1659 - from 'Quaker Faith and Practice')
