We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

Shirking the toil.
Hiding behind the carefully massaged figures of succesive FF and FG/Lab governments.
I have written before how in those days an ironed shirt had something Thatcherite about it. Some local varient of Reagonomics. I remember a bus conductor when the busfare was only 6p.
That would be less than 20cents today.
Buses are a most excellent way of bringing together people. Everyone should spend time on a bus. Get yourself a bus and share it with your friends. The world will treat you differently and and you learn a lot about transport.
You all need bikes and you all need buses.
The DART was fecking great but so too were the conductors.
"THE NEED FOR NEW FORMATS
The need for new formats grows out of the oppressiveness of print. We must learn the techniques of advertisement. They consist of short, clear, non-rhetorical statements. The ad words. The ad represents a break with the college education and the diarrhea of words. The ad is a concentrated formula for communication. Its information power has already outmoded the school system. The secret is to gain as much pleasure in creating the form as expressing the idea".
