George Monbiot ranting against something that works

Interesting article though. I didn't know it had such a unique legal position. Somehow I suspect they'll manage to shrug off a few disgruntled lefties doing Monbiot's bidding next week too.

I would be more interested in where else we could roll this model out to make sure other key industries are protected from government interference.

I worked for the City Architects at the CoL years ago, it is an unusual place, sort of civil servants with a private sector mindset!!

And certainly seems to have worked well for London over the years!

They also do excellent banquets !!

I find that taking the exact opposite position to anything Monbiot says is just common sense. If he rants particularly vigorously against anything, you know that it really makes sense.

He used to wind me up until I remember that he's a powerless attention we and that the comments section is a useful source of comedy. And mongs.
