Really Big Society

[vampire_kitten]

I was struck by a thought while reading this:

Perhaps he and the 22 millionaires among fellow ministers who attend cabinet meetings regard constructing the "big society" as a sufficiently charitable contribution in itself.

Our current government seems inordinately keen on cutting services like 47% of Oxforshire's librarys and 20% of DLA,

I would add to this - their pay rises should be indexed, not to inflation etc, but to the rate of increase of DLA and similar. So if they think the cost of living is going up, do something about it!

I like this very much.

WORD. Might columnise that, unless you'd object.

No objections. If you have a chance at some point, I'd quite like to wibble at you about PIP. I know the stuff I've posted is currently very dense (Katy and I are going to try to fix that), but I'd be happy to give you a verbal/chat rundown of the main problems that have been pointed out.
