The BBC works well at some things but is pretty useless at others. Many public services are remarkably ineffective, and in that respect not true to the original Beveridge vision. We don't want to lose the possibility of institutions that should do these things effectively, but why should we put up with second rate ones that don't do the job properly - for fear that the Conservatives will do away with the lot?David Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410159311875228620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169740113013066976.post-53177387927662299422015-09-14T22:45:59.044+01:002015-09-14T22:45:59.044+01:00I don'tunderstand most of this .

The current left may engage in "the pointless symbolism of revolution" and I agree that there is an 'infantile left', But do you mean that Jeremy Corbyn is just part of it? Do you mean because he sings the Red Flagwg? Well,time will tell. Meanwhile I hear you don't think much of your own party , the Lib Dems ,either? <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
