Why the attraction of community so strong that the likely incoming Labour government feel the need to endorse it in the concept of "one nation"?

Against Community begins by exploring the ideas of community within the early German neoliberal theorists, showing community to be a central concern of the "shock doctrine" reconstruction of post-World War II Germany.

Ello API

Ello API

This is a basic exploration of the Ello API. Completely unofficial, your mileage my vary, don't smash their servers as they are likely very busy.

Methods return HTML for their representation where appropriate which is a nice little pattern. Everything returns application/json.

Like this:
