Truly clever, Martyn, and so devastating.

Terrific programme, very enjoyable and erudite discussion, thanks for your contribution. Need to listen again, though, as the conversations were so complex and thought provoking.

So disgraceful that the hungry years from the 20s to the 60s also saw national projects on housing, from Dublin Corporations's Marino Garden Suburbs to BnM's villages, Kilcormac, Coill Dubh etc; from Oliver Bond to Countess Markievicz House. Market-led housing policy leads to homelessness.

on the button, as usual!

Stands to reason, doesn't it? Interesting to note that the role models that the 'Natural Order' folks adopted didn't include Bonobos (for example) in their justification/rationale for patriarchy.
