His @radixuk.bsky.social article about me and the HSTF wasn't very gentle, but it did result in me becoming a Fellow and indirectly @platformplaces.bsky.social getting off the ground.
A lovely man who will be missed.

OMG - Goodwin is only an unpaid follower too.
Being an ex-academic must be fiscally tough going for Matt.

I'd never heard of the man, but now feel compelled to follow him there like Goodwin, to get out of my echochamber.
Note: Most of my successful friends think I am a Bolshevik and hate me.

Given that I am a @patmillsuk.bsky.social member and know David Bull from my childhood, I could be Cilla Black to an unholly union.
Or not.
I'm definitely going with not.

I'm a @patmillsuk.bsky.social supporter and therefore probably a neoliberal too.
I'm often confused.
But that may just be my age.

Its all down to my chat with him at UKREiif (I wish😉)
I am sure that @platformplaces.bsky.social may wish to support this too.
As mentioned on the @patmillsuk.bsky.social call, who owns the High Street holds back regeneration and can Elad to bad policy too.
Great work.

It didn't end well for him...
