This looks like a comprehensive survey, with questions that do require some careful thinking.
If the government really will be consulting it, it's certainly worth responding to

Social psychology scandals tend to come in two varieties:
1. One of the major canonical studies in our field is deeply flawed.
2. One of the big names in our field is a serial sexual harasser.
Today, unfortunately, is one of the latter days. Solidarity with all of Miles Hewstone's victims.

I had a look at a press release about job cuts from a nearby large university .
I was struck by how each paragraph started off positively but then lapsed into treacly platitudes.
So I thought I'd help them out with their argument structure.

Was Erving Goffman really the utterly original "loner", indifferent to others' views?
Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz has searched the archives to map the relation between Goffman and the academic big beasts of the time, with some surprising results.
