What Big Society needs at this stage is quiet accumulation. It definitely didn't need over-earnest overselling, but these folk don't do subtlety. Not smart. Thanks to my old friend Martin for drawing my attention to these suggestions for David Cameron as he stomps on the foot-pump at the Flat Tyre of Society, including:
'What with all the wossnames of the modern world and that, and what with me now apparently having to stay on at work until at least six months after I actually die of old age, Time is definately a factor here...
'...stop passing the responsibility onto us, and keep it for yourself - after all, a few people all said that you can have it earlier this year. It was May. I know that for an actual fact 'cos I saw it on the telly. Stop pretending it's the blitz at that we should all just jolly well roll our sleeves up an muck in, there's a good chap. I mean - yes, say hullo to the neighbours and don't actually spit at anyone, but - I've got to teach geography or something at a hand-made school now, have I?'
