This finding of "hidden" public support for green policies strongly echoes our work on pluralistic ignorance when it comes to non-car travel: most people support non-car travel more than car travel, but at the same time they believe this is a minority view

The last few years have been a vicious wake up call for privileged people like me as to just how vicious and empowered misogyny, racism, homophobia, ableism and transphobia are in the world - I was never blasé but I was naive
Whatever mockery of international “law” existed - any belief in it is surely eviscerated by the actions of Israel and of USA and the appeasement , even encouragement of them, by so many in power

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.
