I would not take part. Trust has to be earned, and supported by verification.

Yes - prisoners' dilemma, and different models of human behaviour - for me distrust has to be earned...

Ever had an email from a Nigerian Prince?

I hear Rice-Pudd is scheduled to get the boot.

That is too much to hope for, does he have a job to fall back on.

Yes, and using common sense, it earned my distrust...

Acas and trade unions and managers use the same principles in training

Yes I would, and I do on a regular basis - as do you - it happens every time drivers eyes meet at a junction and decide who will go first...

There's a slight difference between trusting a random person to not vote who was intending to vote Tory that you met over a website and whose behaviour you will never be able to verify, and a licensed commercial pilot who would die if they crash the plane they're currently flying in.

Capitalism may have been responsible in the past, now its only concerned with profit, look at Thames Water and other utilities, we were told privatising them would release investment.

If a country doesn't have Laws in place to control it, then people will just take advantage. If rule-breaking gets you hammered, your objectives alter. It's not too hard to impose those laws with things like utilities. Rule #1, no foreign owners.

Capitalism has always run amok unless restrained by law. I doubt there's any time in history where we could happily agree that it has been 'responsible'.

Now it probably closer to ethical than historically. Even including Thames water and Amazon etc.

We did have a much stronger unionised workforce to counterbalance unrestrained capitalism, that has been shredded since the 70s.
