Wish me luck

Tomorrow I’m debating at Intelligence Squared in the company of, amongst others, John Redwood, the brilliant Frances Cairncross, and Nigella Lawson’s dad. The motion is that "Capitalism can save the planet (with carbon trading we can solve the climate change crisis without damaging economic growth)".
Am I for or against? With a motion like that, who cares? Here is a clue.

    EU Proposes Raft of Measures to Fight Illegal Employment

    When I look at the history of the developed countries, I see lots of slaves etc been used to develop these. Were these the passport holders? In fact, the EU is bleeding with the less qualified people in Engineering etc. Therefore, the best bet is to carry on with the illegal employees and the employers.
    You have a little choice now with age gap of the yester years and the new generation who want to be fast, innovative, wear jeans, have no code fro dress and carry on working despite the legal status of the co- workers. If the atmosphere is clean, they work miracles.
    May be the politicians ought to remember this.
    I thank you
