The coronavirus has forced business to enter the 21st century. It seems reasonable that it might force government and society to do likewise. Perhaps policy will be best decided over the next few years on the basis of what we need and what we should do, as opposed to what we want and what we … Continue reading The Green Revolution
They're after my jobs, the ba****ds. Not the eastern Europeans. Nor the Indians. Nor the growing population of Latin American emigres. Those guys, up there. The machines.

A week ago we saw them putting up the stages and lights for another show, to mark the … Continue reading The Revolution Extravaganza
