The Con-dems ludicrous idea of the 'Big Society' (read 'Big Profits from Society') is about to roll a wrecking ball through the very heart of our actual society. Aside from the possible irreversible damage the welfare state might sustain (and I agree it does need reform) we are going to find our schools, healthcare system and our very culture being delivered into the hands of capitalists, and that is appallingly news. Remember, capitalism is about turning a profit, not altruism.

As the Thatcherite-lite goons of New Labour have only added to the gap between rich and poor I'm not sure what choice the left has but to proscribe some sort of action. Although I'm not much of fan of strikes I think Bob Crow's idea of mass civil disobedience has some merit and I'd be in favour.
