The old Daily Telegraph reminding its very elderly readers about something their minds have forgotten while they all sit around together singing that favourite song ‘When I’m Sixty Four’
"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975
“It is difficult to imagine a previous period when such an all-pervasive hopelessness was exhibited at all levels of British life” – Professor Stephen Haseler, 1975

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership
Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

Every day this Summer has been a record of how Nigel Farage already runs the country.
An endless cycle of hate & racism. One day boat arrivals, the next releasing ethnicity data for crimes, so we can know whether to riot if they’re brown or shrug if they’re white.

One of the worst features of the tabloid press is the constant claim to be reporting other people's "anger", "rage" and "fury", when in reality they're trying to whip up those emotions.
A more accurate headline would read "please be furious about this". And they could use the same one every day.

Express perception of "anger" at youth mobility exchange scheme as a "betrayal of Brexit freedoms" does not reflect the opinion of most Leave 2016 voters.
Why would taking back control rule out reciprocal deals with the EU, as with such deals with Canada, NZ, Australia. South Korea - and Iceland?

"Privatisation of essential utilities doesn’t just mean directly more expensive bills and transport for households. It also has a domino effect on the rest of the economy through higher industry costs for utilities like water and energy." www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...
The hidden cost of privatisation can be seen everywhere
The domino effect of privatisation can particularly be seen in agriculture, where 40% of costs come from energy use
