I think some people haven't understood Jubilee 2000. I think some people have thought that Jubilee 2000 means that the debt is simply dropped and that the countries who are in debt can then go out and spend the extra money on ice-creams, lollipops and nuclear weapons. Jubilee 2000 is a very hard-headed campaign, it recognises that there needs to be a fair process of scrutiny with everyone talking and agreeing things together. What's important is that the debate should start and it should start now. Because in the past solutions have often been imposed on poor countries, and actually it's the poor countries themselves that need to be central in those discussions about what happens in debt relief.
All politicians are worried most of all about the electorate, that's the way they stay in power.
If they believe the electorate about something they will inevitably respond. If you remember when the Labour Party came into office, it looked pretty certain that they were going to get rid of foxhunting, the countryside lobby mobilised and we've still got foxhunting. Now whatever you might think of that as a result, it does demonstrate how much the government is concerned about what the people of this country think. That's why what we wanted to do was to create a big campaign that mobilised tens of thousands of people. But it mustn't just stop now, that campaign has got to keep going for the next two or three years.
