“ The airwaves ring to the tune of people demanding that somebody - the government, local authorities, Hammond - Do Something. “Better planning!” demands the AA. “Get a grip,” demands the opposition (tricky on all this ice). Clear the roads, renew the trains, open the schools, get Boris back from Zurich to sweep the runways: in other words, be a big government. Have an urgent review, wave a big wand, or at least a big spade. For the big society is too little to fix an icy path. ”
Alice Miles in an opinion piece in the New Statesman (via Joe Moran).
