Defining ‘The Big Society’

Seventy percent of us
struggle to understand it

despite the best intentions of
the government to make it fit

reforms in public services
for our long term benefit.

To see the hosts of volunteers
cleaning up Tahrir Square

is probably the closest thing
with which we can compare

the efforts to conjure up
an ideal out of thin air.

I think I’d better leave it there.
