    If you want something that signals a little hope then ‘A Change is gonna come’ by Sam Cooke would be a starter, Richard.

    Personally, I don’t see anything hopeful happening at the hands of this government any time soon – unless you’re already wealthy of course (and even better, wealthy and retired).

    Somehow, I don’t see the Tax Justice Network as the people who bellowed out the closing lines of ‘God Save the Queen’, Punk Rock’s anthem for youth in 1977:

    “No future”
    “No future”
    “No future for me”

    They’re in their mid-fifties now, facing mandatory ‘early retirement’ if they made it into white-collar employment, and the intervals of unemployment between contracts are getting ominously longer if they didn’t.

    They know the truth: even the Road to Nowhere has run out of road.

    I don’t know about music of the economy for 2015, it’s certainly music for the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership though.

    If Labour is to materialise into a ‘real’ Labour party or opposition from the neo-lib one there is now a significant amount of internal reconstruction going to have to take place.

    But how else are we going to get better ideas and real social justice – unless the Greens in the UK grow exponentially in the next 4 years which although desirable to me seems rather unlikely?
