In a normal democracy, any study putting government policy in a bad light would be seized upon by at least one opposition party or engaged single MP, and someone would force the government to defend itself, be in parliament or media. Yet, over the past year or so, I can recall the media echo of only one or two damning TUC studies entering public discourse this way. This is very sobering. (IOW, you and people like you should really try to run for MP candidate again...)

*Traitor*, n.
A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.

En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma
