"Mr President, I, along with a quarter of a million people, marched through Edinburgh – my home city – over the weekend to protest against poverty in the developing world. Sadly, today we hear that a few hundred rioters are currently under the control of the police in Edinburgh and that they are intent on making trouble in my home town. I hope that the police will take firm steps against them. As you said earlier, it is our turn in this House. We must reclaim the agenda from these rioters, from these protesters. I would refer the House to the activities which will be taking place this week. I would urge colleagues to support them. I would ask you also to sign the written declaration in my name on ‘Making Poverty History’. At a time when expectations of politicians in general are running so high, I would urge colleagues to demonstrate and prove to the citizens of Europe that we are in step with them, as we were in step with them over the weekend, and play our part in making poverty history."@en1
