I've been listening to some RAW conversations over last few days and he quotes a writer at one point, I've forgotten who exactly, maybe jung, who says that all revolutions are basically sons vs fathers. Obviously more nuance to it than that, but interesting to log on here after a bit and see this.

I think the most frustrating thing about all this is it's public knowledge and nobody can do anything about it. They just keep wrecking things, making off with people's money and getting away with it. You can't even punish them by voting them out as they just disappear into cushy positions in the private sector.

It's amazing. We watched Have I Got News For You and the Jenrick stuff is crazy. I mean it's so blatant and corrupt it's funny but then afterwards you're sat there going "they're doing this right in front of our faces" and... basically I want them dead.

Reading Private Eye regularly really does give the impression that we're living in the golden age of crony capitalism. Contracts worth billions are given to companies run by pals, spouses or relatives of the MPs making the decisions, or even the MPs themselves, who then proceed to fuck everything up and then land more contracts anyway, because "the public sector is competitive and efficient".
The fantasy that the UK operates under anything resembling a "free market" is a bit like the idea that the USSR in some way resembled the communist utopia imagined by Marx and Engels.
