We will develop this later but it is about a few simple things; social and economic value and how it is created, controlled and allocated. It not difficult stoopid! The issues of culture, cultural convergence and cultural relativism have to be understood or debated with common
The best description of culture and one which gives an unintended nod to our view that economics underpinning it comes from the Commission on the Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain. We were critical of the Liberal Elite and their stupidity in not really understanding why in
