An important conclusion to be taken from the TASC one-day conference last weekend is that a lot of work remains to be done on translating good ideas and proposals into a programme of change backed by organised efforts from community groups to trade unions to political parties. One speaker commented that fear has taken over anger and action leading - by implication - to some level of paralysis and passivity in the face of the onslaught.
Good analysis, patient explanation, debate and determined efforts at all levels is called for. Everyone who cares has a part to play.
