No, I 'm not anti Big Society, just anti using it to disguise cuts.
But given cuts, it's needed (and can be great) but as I said at the time, Anna Coote of the New Economics Foundation said “It is madness to imagine that civil society can fill the gaps left by a retreating state…”
I can't see the Tories able or willing to fill the gaps post Brexit so we'll be hearing more about the Big Soc (but re-branded no doubt).
