Meanwhile, in the Independent, Steve Richards argues that protests make no practical difference to policies whatsoever, although they do show that the younger generation is politicised. Over at the Financial Times, Gordon Brown argues that Asia will soon have consumer power to rival the Americas, a shift that could help the west exit its continuing crisis. Elsewhere, in the Times, Tim Montgomerie explains why David Cameron must assert himself as the leader of mainstream conservatism. Finally, in the Guardian, Mya Guarnieri expresses dismay at the racist decree issued by Israeli rabbis, forbidding Jews to rent or sell property to non-Jews - namely Arabs, migrant workers or African refugees.
