Every strategic decision is blighted by the Tory mantra about 'picking winners' which have failed (the legacy of Heath and RR). So they proposed the idea of supporting sectors but have been cautious to invest public funds at the necessary level. They've had to abandon Keynesianism because of Thatcherism but have failed to recognize the elucidation of a new economic commentary by Mazzucato. If they really were committed to strategic sectors, they would be citing her.

Crispin Flintoff writes:

'Today it emerged that Tony Greenstein has been suspended by the Green Party on the basis of an alleged 'history of antisemitism, including court decisions and recent terrorism charges'.

Many people know Tony as someone who is blunt, fiercely outspoken and, at times, too prickly for some tastes. But to label him antisemitic when he is himself Jewish, and the son of a rabbi, is an extraordinary step and one that raises very serious questions.

And the 'terrorism' label also sits uncomfortably with anyone who opposes the misuse of the Terrorism Act to silence opposition to the genocide in Gaza.

Labour's witch-hunt of Jewish anti-Zionists began with the expulsion of Tony Greenstein. The question now is whether the Green Party is becoming similarly unsafe for anti-Zionists.'

2025-12-20T19:47:38Z

'Aisha Jung, a long-time human rights campaigner and a stalwart of the Palestine Solidarity Camp outside the US embassy, has just won substantial damages from the Metropolitan Police after being arrested at a Palestine solidarity protest in Trafalgar Square.

Aisha was arrested on 4th November 2023 for holding a satirical placard. One side said: 'Bombing civilians, massacring kids, ethnic cleansing, occupation & blockade, cutting off vital resources, collective punishment.' The other side said: 'War crimes, war crimes, war crimes, apartheid Israel, what a cuntry.'

She was arrested in front of her family, taken to a police station, held for hours and later told no further action would be taken. The Metropolitan Police has now agreed to pay damages, closing the case and said they should 'learn from mistakes and take steps to give officers additional guidance to inform decision making in future'.

What were the police thinking when they made the arrest? Does this signal a change in policing? What advice is there for anyone worried about being arrested for holding up a (non-Defend our Juries) sign?

Aisha Jung joins us tomorrow on The Crispin Flintoff Show (10:30am-12:30pm) to discuss how policing must change.'

_________________________

UCU reckons 12,000 lost in the last year. The number of proposed losses 'going forward' (hate that term) is even more drastic, I would guess. Grady on R$ identified the two issues (which have been obvious and we all know): inappropriate system of support/income stream; idiotic insistence on expanding the estate beyond what is reasonable, financed on bonds. There will be a bad look or perception because of the protracted action over pay. On that action, UCU shd have pursued a better distribution scale - profs have sufficient salaries (yes, I recognize that their increments are decided differently). So part of the issue is the system of funding and the other part is managerial policy. For matters of equity, a return to Dearing wd not be a bad idea for a start (but I've wittered on about that for ages).

That's right. So it was 'successful' on those of her limited terms. Another context was to make some substantial part of the population asset owners - in the case of persistence, housing. The family fortune and its continuity became the only interest above all else and anyone else. Yet, on her other terms it also failed. Her concern was the entrepreneurial lower middle class (the Roberts enterprise) - but that was adversely affected by her insistence on financial services above all services. Productivity? Well that can be blamed on Brown as well since, I think, his 'industrial policy' was misconstrued as shareholder value and the short-termism of rent extraction. Firms decided that cheap labour was in their interest rather than capital investment. It's been forty continuous years of economic devastation.
