Anyway, I was there to do an interview in a field about why theme parks are actually great.

A broken planning system and constantly giving in to NIMBYs is why we don't have better ones in the UK.

Consultations aren't representative and we should always take them with a massive pinch of salt.

But usually those that oppose a project are far more likely to respond than those that support (like, 5 to 6 times more likely).

So getting a response like this really is quite something.

...after working their way around most of the room and everyone in support, they saw an elderly woman in the corner. They wandered over, assuming they must be on to a winner, only for her to reply "it's great, loads of jobs and my grandchildren will love it".

Massive congrats Joe!

I was more referring to Andrew Neil's (and I suppose also Ganesh's) take that the economy is fine actually.

Have tried that, didn't work
