On the News

I don't normally listen to Radio 4, unless it's election time. But I did this morning on the way in to work. Being interviewed was Nat Wei the UK Governments new Advisor on "Big Society" and now a Member of the House of Lords. I lost count of the times he used the phrase "social enterprise" or "social capital", but I could tell also from what he said that he actually knew what he was talking about, and understood it.

There has been a lot of talk about what this "Big Society" that the Prime Minister has been raising will all be about. If he has Mr Wei helping him, it might bring a true golden age for social enterprise and community development. Time will tell.
