Celebrity Russell Brand made an ear-catching contribution to the national conversation during the autumn when he urged young people not to vote because the political system no longer represented their interests. You can read his words here.
Apathy is a rational reaction to a system that no longer represents, hears or addresses the vast majority of people.
He might be right about that but if young people don’t vote, the one certainty is that the OAPs votes will rule. Hence, the cartoon.

The annual ritual of undisclosed conversations from thirty years ago is underway. To someone of my generation, this recalls the miner’s strike and notions of the so-called ‘enemy within’. The link to a report by Alan Travis, Home Editor at the Guardian. The coverage at the FT also makes a generous offer to any other with specific interest in the period. Paul Mason and crew deliver an audio-visual report here on Channel 4 News.
The cartoon draws a parallel with our own contemporary militant tendency.

I have just finished an excellent six-week course in web science run by the University of Southampton.
The course gave a terrific overview of some major themes about the online utility that has changed much of my personal and professional life during the past 15 years.
I understand the course will be running again from February 10th this year and I would recommend it to anyone who can find a couple of hours a week in which to learn.

It is Christmas and so clearly time for the local council to consider a policy of ‘zero tolerance’ towards the homeless in the city. I confess I am unclear as to what this policy actually entails other than kicking them out of the local shopping centre car park in the evenings. Perhaps if I read all about it in The Hampshire Chronicle I will be better informed.

Some sounds for a sad day. This drawing was made in 2004 during a visit to South Africa organised by the British Council and during which I exchanged learning experiences with a cartoonist from over there. My hat remains tipped to Steve Bell who facilitated for the participating Brits and Zapiro (aka Jonathan Shapiro) who returned the favour for the South Africans.
Updated: 12th December 2013 Zapiro has offered some thoughts about Mandela and his understanding of the big picture to the BBC.
