Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It is as good as you suggest. The only thing I would add is that another tension is holding the UK together. Brexit is increasingly an English Nationalist not a UK venture. A centre right government in 29 would probably exacerbate tensions with Wales, Scotland and in particular NI. 140

Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 25/09/2026We buy framed pictures from local charity shops and replace the pictures with the ones we want framed. Good circular economy behaviour and stops quality old frames from going to waste 100

Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 17/09/20263. Currency? Create Pidcoin as a national cryptocurrency. 4 Build a data centre and power station on disused military site to support it. 5. Set up Internet top level domain (.pd is taken) 6. Build a wall around Piddington, rest of UK would pay. 7.Sit back for rUK to break up . 000
Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I think we should take Piddington seriously, not assume that they are racist morons. As we clearly wouldn't want to punish them for a democratic decision, here are my starters for 10. 1. Make Johnson King of Piddington. 2 Assemble crack team to deliver an oven ready Pidxit ( Frost, Gove, Hannan) 1/2 010

Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 15/09/2026If you look at people working in the creative industries evidence through their portfolio becomes more important than their grades whether school or fe/he. I think a learning portfolio would be increasingly valuable alongside grades and doesn’t need to be externally assessed 000
Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I remember Charles Handy pointing out that the average length of a marriage in Victorian times was 15 years and that was also true around the Milllennium. The difference was life expectancy. He teased the audience that marriage should be a 15 year renewable contract. 150

Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I certainly agree on health years ago the world bank institute created indicators for the knowledge economy which did indeed suggest a very broad definition of infrastructure 000
Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I always liked Sir Claus Mosers observation that education was unique in public expenditure because it was both the cause and consequence of economic growth 110
Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 02/08/2026You have now invented conceptual parameterisation as a field for development There will be PhDs on it beware 110

Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Again cancellation of pcs for all in education as part of austerity made remote access problematic 051
Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 02/08/2026It is also noteworthy that Gove cancellations of building schools for the future programme left many old schools with poor air quality 130
Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 25/07/2026What I find interesting is that those who claim to be her heirs hate her most positive legacy the single market . Also the Tories claim Churchill as the greatest PM but didn’t want him in the first place He was the price of Labour cooperation 010
Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 15/07/2026 My own view is that videos of non public persons should have the IP assigned to those in the video not the maker. The companies are very good at taking down IP infringements. It would take away the revenue from those making films using Glasses and other technologies. 010

Chris Yapp @chrisyapp.bsky.social · 24/06/2026The claim of a sudden crash was first made I think by a Brexiter in response to George Osborne's comments that "if" we started the exit talks immediately there would be a crash. I think it was an attempt to get some realism into timing. 000
