Important this - please read. It pulls the rug out of under a cornerstone (i like mixed metaphors, me - L.N.) of Tory argument that I hear all the time - if only so and so worked harder, they too could get rich. No!!
But knowing what a science denying culture we live in today, I don't really expect it to be taken on board.
But it's useful having this in your armoury just in case.

This is my main blog - it's been going since 2004. It was originally my personal diary but has expanded to something more sophisticated, thanks to Blogger. Most articles on this site are unfinished and remain so. I am trying very very hard to change this! I have a sidebar on the right - please scroll down - full great web sites, articles, podcasts, etc. The tone of this blog is mostly unfocussed, and long may it remain so...
