Thankfully, it’s not my problem, as is occasionally hinted at by the ageists. I’ll just have to deal with the consequenses of canny political blandness, timidity, and spin disguised as leadership. I backed out of it all in 1999 once the parliament was reconvened (with an energy-sapping postscript in 02-03 as Bush and Blair’s state terrorism disgusted and angered people) and tend to keep out of it now until some dick with an iPad rings the doorbell during an election campaign, and I pose the difficult questions.

I doubt that I’ll be around, if it ever happens, to see the end of western neo-liberalism and its appalling end products.
