Mr Black is looking a the recent history of the Conservative party through a very different lens than the one he uses when looking at the labour party.
If the conservative party has recently become the ’nothing party’, then it has joined the Labour party in that regard, which has been a nothing party for years. Ed Miliband followed by Jeremy Corbyn ? Dianne Abbot and Emily Thornberry senior roles in the Shadow Cabinet ? That’s not a political party, it’s a halloween party.
The real factor causing increasing disruption in our world is not politics. It’s science and technology.
If you had told children in the 60s that when they were adults, they would be able to talk to people on the other side of the planet without even shouting, they’d have laughed at you. Digital technology has been radically changing every, absolutely EVERY aspect of life, and the political world has been left so far behind, it’s out of sight.
How do you engage with these changes, and at the same time
maintain the values of a civilised society that were developed and fought for so hard throughout our history ?
Technology is taking us somewhere we have never been before.
Perhaps it’s time that science and technology were brought back into the fold of human society.
At the moment, when science is talked about in the media it’s always scientists doing it, and in a rather patronising and self-congratulatory way.
I’d be surprised if the average science degree spends more than a couple of hours if that, on the implications on society of what they do, it’s ethics and moral consequences.
Perhaps it’s time that we the people decided what kinds of science and technology we wanted to see. What areas of life we wanted to see improvements in rather than the military and the billionaire owners of technology industries.
After all, it’s we who have to deal with the consequences.
I doubt if we will be agreeing to pay large salaries to physicists investigating the fictional ‘big bang’, or the ‘bits of string’ theory.
