Bought my wind-up gramophone from Rare and Racy, made friends with many from Castle Market, a clear example of council run-down if ever there was, but still a fantastic place.<br /><br />This years's 'Best Building in Sweden', seen from my window is an awful, plastic white elephant built on a demolished, rather wonderful wooden building that was also a 'heritage asset'. Developers won the day.<br /><br />Stephen Duncombe's book "Dream: Progressive Politics in an Age of Fantasy" has some excellent suggestions for how progressives can propose, rather than getting stuck, as we do now, in only reacting to the plans of others.Bole Hillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311983567772266018.post-65507180691143223032015-03-25T03:25:30.620-07:002015-03-25T03:25:30.620-07:00Great article, thank you.
