The UK government’s pursuit of growth at all costs hands this country to predatory capital. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 30th January 2025 I can scarcely believe I’m writing this, but it’s hard to dodge the conclusion. After 14 years of environmental vandalism, it might have seemed impossible for Labour to offer anything but improvement. But on green issues, this government is worse than the Tories. |

Labour’s housing strategy makes a dysfunctional system bigger. We need systemic change. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 26th January 2025 Build baby, build. That’s about the intellectual limit of the government’s housing strategy. Millions are under-housed, so let’s “bulldoze” the planning system and build more homes. But it’s not nearly so simple. |

It is that time of year again: Time to look back at information technology in 2024 and make light of it. As with prior year-in-reviews, this one will be arranged like an award ceremony. There are three criteria for the dozen awards given out this year:• The award must be for something involving digital technology.• The key event must have taken place this year, 2024.• The award cannot take itself seriously. The event receiving attention must lend itself to sass, sarcasm, and ridicule. As a reminder, the awards are worth nothing. The only value is fifteen seconds of fleeting fame on this blog post. |
