Farewell, Mozilla

My career with Mozilla began with an internship during the summer of 2008 when I worked from Building K in 1981 Landings Drive, Mountain View, CA. One of the two buildings Mozilla used at Landings Drive Writing this post is hard since Mozilla was such a great place to work at, not only for its altruistic mission, but mostly because of the fantastic people I met during my time there.
The left and the case for ‘progressive reglobalisation’
Matthew Bishop,Tony Payne Neoliberal globalisation is in crisis – but it’s an illusion to believe that we can turn back the clock on forty years of international economic integration. The left urgently needs to discover the ideas and agency necessary to resist the disaster capitalists of the right, and build a progressive reglobalisation. The left needs to talk, again, about globalisation. You might think that quite enough ink has already been spilt about this ubiquitous term.

The country needs an accurate analysis of its plight, a strategy for addressing it and a developmental state to drive forward economic and political change Part I of the blog is available to read here.

Is Britain ‘undeveloping’ before our eyes? Part I
The pathologies characterising Britain’s emergence as the first ‘early developer’ may have accumulated to the point where they undermine its prospect of continuing development What is Britain, and where does its political economy find itself today?

With funding stretched to its limits across Further Education, TOTUM could help put money back in the pot.
If you haven’t heard of TOTUM, it’s the new revamped and rebranded NUS extra – the only student discount card that puts profit back into the movement.

‘De-globalisation’, or ‘re-globalisation’?

The former is the new project of the populist right; the latter needs to be the new vision of the centre-left Professor Tony Payne, Director of SPERI Globalisation is under attack these days from all quarters. It has of course long faced criticism from the left for being divisive and undemocratic. That’s not new.
The politics of reforming capitalism in Britain: Part II
12 October 2016The politics of reforming capitalism in Britain: Part II Two competing and ultimately incompatible visions exist on the right and now sit in tension at the heart of Theresa May’s government Professor Tony Payne, Director of SPERI As I noted last week, there is another side to the debate about reforming capitalism in Britain.

Why Saturday's election is like all the others, and yet not
Why Saturday's election is like all the others, and yet not Jun 27 2016 9:31 PM Tony Payne ‹ Back Voting in elections, like pretty much everything we do, is an exercise in glorifying God by loving our neighbour. Or as Paul puts it: “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

Honoring Seniors Who All Deserve Better
When kids refuse to grow up With more and more baby-boomers around, every now and then I get another glimpse at this strange phenomenon in the way they are treated by their grownup offspring - something that I immediately named "secondary umbilical cord". Fancy name, I know, but quite descriptive of younger generation sometimes being less than fair to their old folks while acting as if attached to them by their constant needs.

Top Seven Funniest Golf Jokes Of All Time
An old retired golfer gave some good advice: “It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as they did when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive and there is nothing worse than an oversensitive woman.
Plotting against the NHS
23 March 2016Plotting against the NHS A closely interconnected health policy community in Britain has grabbed control of the agenda and seeks to make further marketisation of healthcare the only possible option Professor Tony Payne, Director of SPERI Earlier in the year I was admitted to hospital for an operation and so I necessarily engaged with the NHS more intensively than at any other point in my lifetime. Don’t worry, though, dear reader: this isn’t going to be one of those illness blogs.
Facing up to the impending UK referendum on the European Union
5 January 2016Facing up to the impending UK referendum on the European Union The best way to counter the threat constituted by the referendum is to show that the EU can be remade to work better in the democratic service of its citizens Professor Tony Payne, Director of SPERI At some point during the course of 2016, either in the summer or the autumn, it looks as if that fateful moment when the British people decide whether or not their country stays a member of the European Union will at last...
What is meant by the centre in political analysis?
21 October 2015What is meant by the centre in political analysis? There are good grounds for thinking that the concept rests at heart on an acceptance of what Weber called ‘an ethic of responsibility’ Professor Tony Payne, Director of SPERI All the talk at the moment is about the centre ground in politics, especially in Britain but also more widely too in other parts of Europe.

The winners of elections always necessarily generate the greatest attention.

The ‘Brexistential’ crisis to come?
