21 hours
Wednesday, many weeks gone I went to a lecture at the LSE.  It was hosted by NEF (New Economics Foundation) in partnership with the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion.  It was chaired and introduced by Anna Coote and saw contributions from Juliet Schor, Robert Skidelsky and Tim Jackson.  The aim was to put forward the case for a 21 hour working week as an alternative to the common situation...

Your TV Channels Will Disappear
This is the first post tracking some ideas towards a new piece of work that I hope to develop, coinciding with the analogue TV transmitters being switched off across London on the 18th (?)April 2012.  I’ve always found TV interesting as a medium.  Until widespread internet access in developed countries (because of course there are plenty of places on earth that don’t have easy access...

I felt it warranted a post on this here esteemed online publication because there were so many sections that prompted debate.  In section III Bailey is doing a talking head bit alongside a...

Unknown Unknowns
My friend Richard recently reminded me of a famous quote of Donald Rumsfeld.  The infamous passage formed part of a Press conference at the NATO headquarters in Belgium in the summer of 2002.  You might recognise it. “The message is that there are no “knowns.” There are things we know that we know.  There are known unknowns.  That is to say there are things that we now know we...
