The Debt Free Campaign in the House of Lords
The jubilee 2000 movement which some of you will remember from 22 years ago the millennium thing Christian Aid and I've worked with Christian Aid leaders quite a bit especially when I was in Durham have were pushing very hard then for the remission of global debt. It's fallen off the agenda a bit now but I did speak about this in the House of Lords at one point because a rumor went round that we were prepared to remit some foreign debts as long as they bought our products particularly military hardware. If you're paying off compound interest you grow the wrong crops because you sell them at a higher price and you undercut local initiatives and farmers etc all of that stuff.
