I was looking through the thread - at about the 30 comments stage - hoping to respond to things. but struggling to find much worth engaging with! I was specifically asked to write a response to the Wheatcroft piece, which was so wide-ranging (but quite superficial) that I had plenty to play around with. I thought it best to focus on the domestic context and foreground the issues of inequality and public services.luna17https://www.blogger.com/profile/03754650933188634442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093114275469628673.post-72781983284507121492010-02-14T11:45:51.203+00:002010-02-14T11:45:51.203+00:00Saw your article on CiF and just wanted to congrat...Saw your article on CiF and just wanted to congratulate you on getting published there! They do seem to attract a lot of nasty comments there these days, unfortunately, so I tend to just skim over them or ignore them altogether, rather than join the debate.<br /><br />Good article, anyway, and I did agree with the commenter who suggested cutting defence spending. As for politicians constantly promising to cut taxes, well, that just shows their lack of imagination. Not sure what can be done about that, though. They're too gutless even to force the wealthiest to pay their fair share, and to close tax havens and all the tax loopholes.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093114275469628673.post-33476757538426168252010-02-13T18:03:06.207+00:002010-02-13T18:03:06.207+00:00Ta, Faithful.

It'll be good if a few more radical left-wing bloggers can get a little space at Comment is Free.luna17https://www.blogger.com/profile/03754650933188634442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093114275469628673.post-53347439556542061882010-02-13T15:59:24.203+00:002010-02-13T15:59:24.203+00:00Nicely done.
