My periodic offer to do (online) sessions for schools, universities or any other interested group. Free.
My main topics are around government and public admin; the evolution of cooperation; the cooperative movement. And lots more - so just ask. 😃

"Some party hack decreed that the people had lost the government's confidence
and could only regain it with redoubled effort.

Whether it’s council or land value, at some point valuations are going to have to be done somehow.

It's something I've toyed with in the past during my 35+ year on & off membership of the Labour Party.
I was going to do it back in May when I left the LP but never got round to it.
Cheers.
Every property revalued every 5 (?) years on a rolling programme (ie 20% a year). Smooth out the effect?
