It's very grim. I just have no idea how the country pulls out of this tailspin where we're incapable of resisting any random populist thing that materially damages the nation but doesn't hurt pensioners directly.

Indy @indy.bsky.social · 3h

Certainly, to the point that the government were too scared to put the case out there, despite having a large majority.

I think our pensioner class doesn't like universities, so the sector is going suffer a lot.

Part of the problem is that people noticed the decline in services, to the point that they eventually voted in a new government. However, while we can all observe that connection, it doesn't get talked about much.

Not recently - it's a much harder landscape to be an opposition figure in than even Shah-era Iran.

Also - ok, you run the company, so the recent idiot decisions are your fault?

(Hoping you can sum it up in a skeet, because I was trying to explain this to someone the other day and it got way too rambly.)

It sounds naive, but I did not think even in 2015 (as the Leave Wurlitzer started to crank up) that 10 years later The Times would have columnists chucking around "remigration" as a concept, and mainstream political parties talking about reneging on ILR.

Has there been a long read on the ideology of the “Traitors” TV show? Draws links to Ostrom and others?

There won’t be a campaign, the Ref (or Ref/Con) government will just do it. (Assuming Lab has not already done so in a desperate attempt to attract the mythical Ref -> Lab voter)
