Subject: RE: BS: The nastiest influence in UK politics
Greed. Marketism. Moral vacuum of overemphasising measureable outcomes rather than intrinsic goods. Overemphasis on target-guided policy and practice.

Emphasis profit-making sector over the 'gift' activities of care for the very young and very old, the arts, creative expression, teaching.

Short-term concern with... re-election/expansion/institutional or party perpetuation rather than the common future of people and the planet.

Compassion seen as a weakness.


Thatcherism in a paragraph (NuLab being 'Thatcherism lite', of course). Thanks Peregrina.
