We have begun to do some analysis on the feedback from our event in Cambridge on 28th February.
The thing that has surprised us, perhaps most of all, is how far people came to get to the event.
AI was used to create the following map, which excludes those who came from outside the UK, and we know that several people did come from places like Poland and Sweden. Because of the way in which the map was produced by AI, it has to be split into two parts:
The most common location for those attending was Cambridge itself, with London and other nearby towns being the next most popular locations. However, as is apparent, people came from all over the England, as well as from Wales and Scotland, and we are truly grateful and flattered that people did so.
Thanks for reading this post.

Just looking at the map, I felt that I was ‘on the limit’ of what was possible in terms of going there and back in a day.
It clearly was a significant commitment from many who came which shows how your message is being received
I look forward to the next event hopefully in London or the West.
The next event is likely to be in Leeds, John. If that works, Bristol is the most likely location after that. We have an autumn date in mind.
Bristol – yeah!! Do you want any feelers put out about venues? What sort of numbers? Local interest will be high and we can do some networking – Bristol Cable, Churches, Community groups, Acorn, Watershed, We Can Make, lots more. Let’s hope Shabana Mahmood hasn’t proscribed FTF by then, and locked us all up.
180 Rovert. A hotel woould be good. We cannot manage all the security, health and safty risks + catering otherwise. And thank! I also take your last mentioned risk seriously
Yet more evidence that one of our political parties needs to look seriously at embracing MMT and the Politics of Care within its manifesto. There are votes in it!
The West Country – East Anglia – the Oxbtidge corridor…
My initial reaction apart from jealousy of the audience (I am almost housebound nowadays) is that the *old* Liberal tradition is particularly receptive to the politics of care. Receptive? Or maybe it was never lost.
Bristol could be a good event! Casual Dress, pitchforks optional? (Joke, joke)
🙂
Excellent
I suggest inviting Rob Hopkins and possible Chris Smaje as attendees
Chris Smaje is at https://chrissmaje.com/
Rob Hopkins is at https://www.robhopkins.net/
I will discuss that with the team here.
Geography, Richard never got in the way of seeking the truth.
I will see you in Leeds.
And I think Bristol as well (it’s on the mainline).
Thanks, PSR
Are those all actual attendees or those who booked? I am interested to note there is a box in Bournemouth but that might be me, and I’m sorry to say that I was a party pooper.
There were only about four people who paid who did not attend, Nigel. Thank you for your donation.
It’s very frustrating to me that there might be people closeby who might welcome a local group. I do appreciate your issue with GDPRs and I’m entirely satisfied that you understand them better than I do.
Write me a post Nigel that I can put up inviting people to get in touch with you and we will see what the reaction is.
I could then share your email address with any respondent
I’ve just had a Crispin Flintoff opinion survey sent to me, asking about political party affiliations/memberships of those with left wing views and who currently represents our politics, and whether we had signed up to (yes), or latterly joined (no) Your Party.
In the freeform “other” text box I wrote “politics of care” @RichardJMurphy.
