So who stepped down from the EFL board to create the opening for Risdale?
That would be our own Mark Ashton.

Wow! A modern capitalist/Tory would see that as Marxism in its extreme.

Modern capitalism/Tory ideology is pay the worker as little as you can get away with, cut as many other costs as possible and charge as much as you can still sell the product for in order to maximise profit.


Consequently you get (some) workers who do as little as possible to remain in a job and draw a wage to pay a mortgage on a place where they do not really want to live but it is all they can afford etc. - and presenteesism, the Peter Principle, Zombie economies, stagflation, careers that appear to go nowhere until retirement puts an end to the farce. OldSmoker's quote shows a different approach that would certainly give Capitalism a new lease of life, but there are better approaches to Socialism than most of what is advocated these days too.

The answer is probably an improved synthesis of the mixed economy which needs better engagement and involvement from the populace at large.

And all of that would need an electorate that cared.

Yep. Sounds like Adam Smith.
It may also have been someone wanting to make their own point by plagiarising Smith or even saying it was a direct Smith quote to give it credibilty.
Can't recall Marx using the term 'profit' either.


Ahh, Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations 1776. A ground breaking publication, if ever there was one.

The tories have managed to stay in power by blaming 'others' even though it is they who have dropped us in it.
Somehow, and I don't have the answer, we need to make Johnson and his cabal the 'others'.

Can the EFL give themselves a points deduction and fine for going into administration?

Maybe they are just appointing Risdale so that they can demonstrate the 'fit and proper person' test by dismissing him tomorrow?

I have little doubt that Johnson will take the flak at some point while the party will then distance themselves from him and claim that the new leader is something better. The new leader who has been consistently cheering on, supporting and at the centre of all that the party stands for. But they will blame Johnson and claim innocence.
