| Ill-health prevents me from marching in London today, but I will be there in spirit. However, I am not quite as convinced as Siobhan Grimes and Symon Hill of Christianity Uncut (Letters, 19 October) that "the government is punishing the poor for the sins of the rich". I think you'd find similar qualities of greed, jealousy and spite in the hearts of any random cross-section of two groups of human beings. On the positive side, every new-born child has unlimited potential for kindness, generosity and love. For A Future that Works, this planet is going to need not only a brand new, really alternative, economic order, which will incorporate a deep appreciation of the finite resources and ecological complexities of our one world, but also a renewed spirit, within every person and every community, so that no one is ever written off, and each and every human being is enabled to be fully alive. David Cameron keeps talking about our country being in a race, but where does that race end, and what happens then?

| • While I'd prefer Ed Miliband to have a more robust anti-austerity policy, I welcome the fact that he'll be at the TUC's march. Trade unions are not, as your report (19 October) suggests, a vested interest. With around 6 million members, they are our only really significant mass movement. The true "big society".
