I knew I wanted to listen to the Reith lectures this year, but I've only just got time now to catch up and I find this. I really hate being in a country where the leading insitutions are so profoundly on the WRONG side of history and mortality.

Why? Why are will still stuck with a bunch of neo-liberal economic drones imposing crap policies on us? "Trickle down" so demonsterably does nothing for the majority of a society. The clue was ALWAYS in the phrase...it was never "flow down" or "pour down".

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Rachel Reeves has just destroyed our economy. She has just destroyed our medium to long term futures...unless you're in the top 10% then you can just say "fucking awesome" until you realise there's no one left to bleed for you.

They looked under our skirts one morning
But all they saw were maggots
They bang their head on the wall
They fucked the art on that afternoon
The dolls are off running and laughing together
Swimming in the milk of the moon
Wife, whore, mistress, maid, mother
