    Give me a clue, as I'd like to see such things resolved - what would be your first 3 measures as global tsar to set the world to rights.
    Daft question and, as you know, quite unanswerable…despite MA’s best efforts.
    Any wish list I might come up with would be worthless. All I can say is that we should all conduct ourselves according to the mantra of ‘do as you would be done by’ and call out such evils as bullying, racism, religious intolerance and gross inequality when and wherever we see it. That would at least be a better starting point than your ‘it’s irreversible’ handwringing.

    Fifty years ago certain people threw bananas at black footballers…that changed. Sixty odd years ago signs saying ‘no blacks, no Irish, no dogs’ weren’t so unusual…that changed. People with learning/mobility difficulties were called ‘mongs’ and ‘spastics’…that changed. Where there’s a will etc…and as most on here approach the final chapters of our lives, don’t we owe it to our children and grandchildren to try and create a less depressingly dystopian future?
