TIme For a Break

December 17, 2009

It's time for a break (for me anyway). Apologies for not being as active as I should have been on the issues surrounding the budget but work has been ferocious. I will be back on-line first thing in the New Year, ready to take on the orthodoxy. But more importantly, to build with everyone who is interested – and however late in the day – a viable, credible progressive alternative.

That is the good work that awaits us.

But only after all of us have had a good and relaxing rest. Best of season greetings.

Micheal, enjoy the break – but don’t as I joked to you – stay away out of frustration. As depressing as it all seems – we all need your efforts and forum. Thanks for an essential effort this year

Michael, enjoy the holiday – you deserve it! It’s been a real comfort, when in discussion (arguments) with defenders of the orthodoxy (‘highest social welfare rates in Europe’ etc) to refer them to your site. We’ll need your analysis next year, which is probably going to see a similar campaign against workers and those on social welfare.
