Have been thinking the same. No need to go "Labour/Greens/SNP etc arent left" as it's implicit.

Thanks.

Where is Kings Ash?
Foxhole area of Paignton perhaps?

Brilliant piece from Hannah Spier, MD I heartily recommend subscribing to her blog called 'Psychobabble'

The Psychological Mechanisms behind the Cult of Progressivism, by Hannah Spier MD

Here she is. You know the words.

This is likely to be counterproductive, as Dan Williams @danwphilosophy.bsky.social sets out in Against Bluesky (and Blueskyism).

Spent a year creating the Now-to-New website then another year licking it into shape. Yesterday I moved it from my personal site to now-to-new.com. Not so interested in my earlier interests. Currently working on a new project. And you ... ?

Cool. Not been keeping up with the Bushe and Marshak stuff. I once described it, rather cynically, as Alban and Bunker revisited. I shouldn't be unkind as they namechecked me in a book.

Happy to join as your gofer / "the bloke who was instrumental in bringing OS to the UK" if that would help.

I ran a 3 hour (sic) OS facilitation training for some Environment Agency people. Towards the end I put on a cloth cap and told them: when you step into the circle, remember this: "There's no need to be la di da or uppity" sang, with accompanying slide. All you need, really. The rest is mechanics.

It's not documented but I'm certain that Open Space, invented by Harrison Owen in 1985, was simply an IRL version of Usenet bulletin boards. Then, in 2002, Gabriela Ender launched Open-Space Online, completing the circle.

FYI @neilperkin.bsky.social

Keir Starmer may have just served up the worst political slogan of all time | Simon Hattenstone ‘Delivery, delivery, delivery’ isn’t just vacuous nonsense – it’s emblematic of the prime minister’s leaden-footed approach to politics, says Guardian writer Simon Hattenstone

Things that can be delivered:
♦ letters and parcels
♦ babies

Things that can't be delivered:
♦ change
♦ transformation
♦ projects
♦ value
… because they're not actual things.

Felletin.

Same goes for "delivering value".
Great article.
Thanks Benjamin and Chris Mowles.

"There is no variety 'out there' waiting to be counted. There are no responses 'in here' waiting to be catalogued. There is only the ongoing transaction through which system and environment mutually specify each other."

Based on an image serch it looks like it might be Erwood on the former Brecon - Builth Wells line.

This may resonate, @franboait.bsky.social
