Bethnal Bling: Is worker cooperation 'flatlining' in the UK?
http://bethnalbling.blogspot.com/2015/01/are-workers-co-operatives-flatlining-in.html
Cooperation and its discontents. Monday, 19 January 2015. Is worker cooperation 'flatlining' in the UK? Says it has about 170 workers' cooperatives in membership, out of about 400 that it knows of in the country, mainly small enterprises.These figures have been consistent for a few years. Here are a few Saturday morning thoughts on the subject. Co-operatives UK defines worker coops as being those where the members are employees. Or where workers of one kind or another have a governance majority. It often...

Asking what the 'British' in the BBC's name means today? After 7/7 ». Putting the 'British' in the BBC. What does the word 'British' mean for the BBC today? How does the BBC reflect contemporary Britishness? Mean after devolution, the enlargement of the European Union, the challenges of globalisation, 7/7, the current debates on multiculturalism?

http://rightnexttime.blogspot.com/2010/04/vote-tory-or-cancer-patient-gets-it.html

Vote Tory or the cancer patient gets it. Well no. The point is rather distasteful - to use the suffering of cancer patients as just one more improvised weapon in the ongoing bar-brawl that is a general election.
