Jam Tomorrow

The conclusion of The Jam Generation on Radio Four last night was hilarious to the point of hysteria, although I assume unintentionally so. On, and on, and on these alleged breaks with the Baby Boom whinged about Parliament's Gothic Revival architecture and stylised forms of debate. Well, why do they want to be in it, then? And I hesitate, but what would they have instead, and why? Of course, the Boomers grew out of this, so we can only hope that they will, too.

Anyone doubting that Thatcherism was the linear continuation of the Swinging Sixties, with Blairism as the linear continuation of that, needed do no more than tune in. Priceless.
