'Prince, I can hear the trumpet of Germinal,
The tumbrils toiling up the terrible way;
Even to-day your royal head may fall,
I think I will not hang myself to-day'.

You really think THIS Labour government has any idea at all about how to secure their short-term let alone long term survival?

Oh and don't worry with three and a half more years to go they will surely find many, many even worse things than this to be remembered for.

Whatever in the UK's whole recent history makes you think that 'people' want to be happy?

Or more to the point what if the greatest happiness of the greater number is inflicting the greatest misery on others?

Which, after all is when given a choice is what they will quite literally vote for.

Like all late capitalist institutions it has been captured and hollowed out by a managerial caste whose - for want of a better word - 'values' are inimical to civilisation itself.

Is that a new policy from the British Conservative Party?

Thank God you are still paying attention...

So can they triple, quadruple whatever the words are for x10, x20, x100 or is there a cap?

Wait - councils can do that?

Also 'Bond - the Musical'.

Seriously they wouldn't even need to write any new tunes.

An author who fails to understand that Bond is and has always been the archetypal player character from an RPG where burning fate/luck points will save you from certain death.

OTOH and TBF that 'strives for truthfulness' bus left the BBC car park, burst into flames and exploded taking with it the the bust of Lord Reith and the entire senior management and news division a long, long, long time ago.
