Sighs, dozen madder

We remain somewhat nonplussed towards the Actualising Community, yet before we are accused of being contrarians, consider the following:

The UK (as it is presently known) is currently conducting an election. Millions of electors are now to consider the arguments of a variety of political parties. The "mainstream" media make these arguments available, distilling the "messages" into bite sized chunks.

While we have no objections to this paradigm, we are concerned at the artlessness of the presentation.

We'll leave the inimitable Prof Blankenship to fill in the details. For now, what is essential is to understand that, delightful as it is to pretend, we cannot take for granted that "class" will forever remain "off the table". It's fine for Enablers to think this, but when we see Actualisers thinking this way, we become worried. Because it's time to circle the wagons. Asset stripping is one thing.

Drawing attention to it is another.
