Totally without fame and influence, but interested in surviving. Live in the Rhondda, think complexity and reflection addresses much and simple, fatuous assertions solve very little. Creativity is survival, the greater good is why.

The infrastructure of left-liberal politics was once large: union & party newspapers; journals and pamphlets; meetings to learn about this, that & the other; libraries; clubs etc. That's all been killed off as parties professionalised & centralised. The Radical Right has rebuilt all of that online.

I am thinking that there is also something about class always having been a cultural divide but an inherited, entitled one. Cultural inequality, pure and simple (if it can ever be that) has a more agile, faster dynamic.

Of course, a big question is whether the framework will lead to real change at a time when budgets are being slashed even further, and regulators reduced to a shell of their former selves. We're seeing something close to the administrative collapse of rural policy and environmental protection.

It is. By those with the most cynical disregard for natural intelligence, creativity, humour and curiosity.
