Britain’s grim winter of strikes, falling incomes and a worsening NHS crisis is not some unfortunate series of events

It's basically over and we are all out celebrating, except me, because I'm not allowed out. So here are a couple of thoughts. I'm speaking as someone who's, as usual, done very well out of the Fringe but been critical of it. After this I'll shut up. (1/)
