Weeknotes: populism of equal cheating, warranties, language

Thanks Adrian McEwen for the link to this clear depressing summary of UK government failures over 12months by Michael Head. https://twitter.com/JolyonMaugham/status/1355533287482138626 I remember the energy and drive when the UK hosted the Open Government Partnership in London in 2013, but we've not kept up: https://twitter.com/TimJHughes/status/1358433586848821248   Where should the UK invest in R&D? Tom Forth writes about R&D, transport, skills and growth. Check out the amazing talks from Wuthering Bytes 2019, now on YouTube.   It was, as ever, an honour to compere these incredible sessions. I shouldn't pick favourites, but Sarah Angliss on atomic gardening and Georgina Ferry on Lyons cafes and the first business computer were highlights for me.  I loved (ha) the thoughts in this thread of Chiara Acu's art - "in the spirit of waging love." Many thanks to Cassie Robinson for sharing these this morning :) There are so many good bits in Matt Stoller...
