Hm. Ought to revive the title 'Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary'...
[Irony]
Hm.
[Don't make me look for my post when I'd heard he'd been appointed... (as I once told Canning).]
Wondering why anyone still cares about 'the Mandelson issue' is why the 'issue' happened (again) in the first place (again)...

Ed Miliband today: "The era of fossil fuel security is over and the era of clean energy security must come of age....To ignore two crises in less than five years would be completely irresponsible… our action must now be faster deeper and more wide ranging.”

"It is unclear what inspired Palantir to publish the manifesto" - well, this kind of public speech is a key part of the PR strategy. But we should ask: why it is part of their PR to proclaim political programms rather than focus on just making & selling software? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Later in the 1970s, Roger Freeman — a key educational adviser to Nixon then working for the reelection of California governor Ronald Reagan — spelled out quite precisely what the conservative counter attack was aimed at preventing: "We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. That's dynamite! We have to be selective on the we allow to go through higher education. If not we will have a large number of highly trained and unemployed people." The two most menacing institutional sources of the same described by Freeman were obviously those two great public university systems charging no tuition: the University of California and the City University of New York. Governor Reagan was able to wipe out free tuition at the University of California. Source: Vietnam and Other Fantasies, by H Bruce Franklin
