"“It should be you strung up on that f**king hook!” the mother shouted at the butcher unloading carcasses on a crowded London Road in Croydon. The sheep’s throats were cut in the usual halal style, their bodies hanging heavily from the van.
This small snapshot from Croydon strikes at a deeper issue – the fault lines in our values and experiences that run through our communities which have been exposed by the Brexit vote. Living through these events, it is easy to feel we are clashing rather than talking. We might be living side by side in the same space, but too often there is no genuine connection. - Rowenna Davis writes >>

"Only 7 per cent of the nation’s students attend private schools, yet they represent: - 74 per cent of senior judges - 71 per cent of senior officers in the armed forces - 67 per cent of Oscar winners - 55 per cent of permanent secretaries in Whitehall... - and 50 per cent of cabinet ministers" - Steven Longden reviews Robert Verkaik's latest book, Posh Boys >>

"In Britain, a two-year commission has been launched by trade unions and the Fabian Society to identify urgent actions that government, employers and trade unions need to take in support of workers as technology impacts on jobs over the next decade. Alongside this, the commission published the findings of an in-depth online survey of 1,000 workers’ views and expectations about technological change." - Read more on our workers and technology research in the European Cleaning Journal >>

"Of the industries most often claimed to be resistant to automation, care work is one of the most interesting (and consequential) examples. If care transpires to be unautomatable, then we can all but forget about the end of work." - Harry Farmer writes on AI and robots in care >>

"Developing and empowering the primary care team at the heart of the NHS would undoubtedly require additional investment in the first place and also some switching of resource from secondary care, but it has the potential to deliver better patient outcomes, reduce future costs and truly transform the health of the nation", writes Julie Cooper >>

"It’s clear that private schools offer a glass floor for the privileged few whilst 93 per cent of youngsters across the country are starved of opportunity. This is why we need a national debate on private schools", writes Karin Smyth >>

"As the Labour party consider how the welfare state can meet the challenges of the 2020s and support everyone from cradle to grave, gender inequality – including the gender pension gap – must form an important part of the debate", writes Hannah Phillips >>

"By the late 1880s, she was a leading socialist: on the executive of the Fabian Society, editor and contributor for an array of socialist publications, and author of the books, Why I am a Socialist and Modern Socialism (1886). On “Bloody Sunday”, November 13th 1887, she led a procession by East End workers that ended in violent clashes on Trafalgar Square. She was instrumental in the establishment of the Matchmakers’ Union, the first union to exclusively represent women workers. In 1889, she was elected to Tower Hamlets’ school board, one of the few paths to civic life available to women at the time." - Read more about Fabian Annie Besant here >>

"In the reality of automation, it becomes clear that the Labour party must rethink how it approaches tax policy. Technological progress, automation and artificial technologies are not bad. In fact, they have the potential to revolutionise our society for the better, with shorter working weeks, cheaper products, greater standards of living and greater productivity. The Labour party should seize the opportunity to improve lives and be ambitious for the common good." - Mary Honeyball MEP discusses >> https://bit.ly/2OXpFa5

"Increasingly, the UK’s national human rights institutions are using explicit social rights language. A growing social rights literature addresses economics, housing, health, education, social work and many other issues. Jeremy Corbyn, and other senior members of the Labour Party, refer to the rights to healthcare, housing and education, while social rights recur in the Fabian Society’s recent collection of human rights essays." - Paul Hunt cites our Fair and Free: Labour, Liberty and Human Rights pamphlet.

"Activism in the Labour party has failed when there have been roadblocks in the WIN, BUILD, SEND process. We fail to WIN when we don’t have an effective member mobilisation strategy, or when we fail to proactively communicate with members about our activities." - Rachel Burgin discusses activism in the Labour party in the second in a series of reflections from the Fabian Women's Network Mentoring Scheme >> http://bit.ly/2OQ5OcV

a chapter in the United States is needed, especially as even our most liberal party is far to the right of the U.K. Conservative Party. a touch of realism and common sense is in dire need over here. some real history lessons about the "revolutionary war" what taxation without representation? for a couple dozen rich merchants like Samuel Adams who were the few elitists who started the kerfuffle and forced the majority to leave the Commonwealth.

I dont know what this page is but my name is fabian so I figured I should join...

An interesting alternative. I like the delimitation from today's politics and the fact that it seems to be more like a fresh pair of eyes analysing and providing sustainable ideas

Unfortunately Intellectually bankrupt think thank who actively supported the shady anti democratic actions of Portland Communications in attempting to oust Jeremy Corbyn and block rational centre left position in the Labour Party. No understanding of the potential applications of Keynesian economics in the 21st century. No understanding of Stiglitz, Piketty. No clue.
