Re the Aaronovitch article.
A previous Archbishop (William Temple pre WW1) apparently said “When people talk about conscientious objections to obeying the law, it is always quite impossible to distinguish between their prejudice and their conscience; there is no standard by which to determine.” Sensible.
The neoliberal article may be informed a bit about Hayek, but the “attack” is pathetic.
“We have been living with neoliberalism for 30 years in Britain. It has given us a society where manufacturing has been decimated and sub-contracted overseas.”
Yeah – millions of people overseas have jobs they didn’t have before, and instead we have (higher-paid) non-manufacturing jobs.
How terrible is that!
Cheers for promoting the video
