GOVERNANCE. New: a free edited volume looking at how advocacy groups lobby government in autocratic regimes. Overall, a bit hedging and timid in its exploration. Last chapter is a helpful summary. If nothing else, I learned that a NonGovernmental Organization that is sock-puppeted by an autocratic regime is called a GONGO.

“This new study challenges the wisdom of moving forward with the high-frequency rail option, and instead presents a strong argument for developing high-speed rail along this corridor instead.” Why not both? Bring the economic, environmental and equity benefits of frequent service to underserved small communities now, while expanding a high-speed rail network. #Canada #PassengerRail #HSR #HighFrequencyRail #3Es #EconomicDevelopment #Environment #Equity @CascadiaRail

Well, given their defunding of the #NHS & its now very clear effects on #longtermillness, costing the UK economy over £40bn a year in lost #productivity & economic activity, I think we can safely say they are not!... at least not when there is money to be made for their private sector chums (here in #healthcare).

Whatever its significant personal costs, long term sickness is emblematic of the UK's dysfunctional Govt.
