| Bigger balls than most men. |
from today's Telegraph by Douglas Carswell MP and Daniel Hannan MEP
The day-to-day, blow-by-blow account of David v Goliath, in which the good little guy (social enterprise, private and institutional investment, best practise, third sector and localism) wins. Taking the power back from big bad Government and effecting local solutions through community action. Think social justice. On Red Bull. Eventually.

C'mon Dave, give it up and the ghost of Margaret Thatcher
"The Coalition is not the first centre-Right government to enter office promising to give power away. Back in the early 1970s, Ted Heath was elected offering to disperse control over the economy. Because of what came next, it is easy today to forget the radicalism of his so-called Selsdon agenda, which promised to set the market free. Yet, in office, without knowing how to make it happen, Heath soon lost his way. Buffeted by events, he U-turned, and ended up centralising control over the economy. It was left to the grocer’s daughter to deliver what the grocer had promised."
