  1. Hi Neil,
    Sorry to leave this little fact/comment here but not sure where else to put it.

    When Cameron took power the BBC airing of the week-long, annual Trades Union Conference stopped. I asked the BBC why it had stopped and they said that there were better things to air on their BBC parliament channel (like, as we see today, US chat progs).

    Further, I could discern no sign of protest or interest from the Trades Union body when I contacted them. In fact there seems to be little interest in this cynical elimination of one of the last public representations of the socialist perspective. Instead we see the BBC courting race as an answer or distraction to the social consequences of austerity.
