    Yes, a “Left-leaning” and “independent” think tank that used to be led by the Tory MP David Willets and now run by Ruth Curtice who was Director of fiscal policy to the Treasury for the Tories for 15 years. Of course I’ll believe what they opine. Just like I would have listened to the charities in the 18th and 19th century who warned about how ending child labour as chimney sweeps would destroy the British economy and everyday life while arguing that the children should have the opportunity to learn the Scripture.

    I love the UK mentality of oh fuck it - given that nobody has anything they don’t really have anything to lose!

    Viva la revolution. Never thought I would love the French as much as I do lately.
