State of the Nation

As I rapidly lose interest in the political party I've been contributing to for the last few years, I've found myself regularly agreeing with the reports put out by the New Economics Foundation. I only noticed them as an organisation recently, but their reports follow the kinds of things I've been thinking; every high street in the UK looks the same; why do we need to eat Strawberries in January?; why does the "Convenience" Supermarket up the road need a delivery 6 times a day? The "Clone Town" and "Ghost Town" back up what I've been thinking all along, and the "Day Britain Started Eating The Planet" (last Sunday, in case you were wondering) is also fascinating.

While 'Green Issues' and the Green Party have long been deemed by Mr & Mrs Middle England Voter as "agreeable but economically naive" (primarily because that's what all the other parties tell us) there seems to be a strong movement to turn that around. I for one think it's about time.
