I could do with £10k to get a social enterprise off the ground, but pointing out that on a finite planet infinite growth isn't possible, and we'd better learn to live without growth, probably wouldn't win it for me .

Wouldn't do any harm to point that out It depends if you've got the time to hand to write it out. I wouldn't go spending the money beforehand though.

Does he really earn £10,000 a year? I rather think that is only a small portion of his salary.

Funnily enough that is a question that came up when I was studying an Industrial Administration course in the early 1970s John.

I don't think my idea about using common sense rather than political dogma would go down too well either.
