    My book "Lying For Money", on the economics of fraud illustrated with many colourful anecdotes of hilarious crooks, is out in July! If you have a podcast or something you'd like me to appear on, drop me a line!!

    "cock up or conspiracy" is a bad question because it's looking for agency when what's interesting is structure - if all the cock ups only happen to favour entrenched power, that's functionally indistinguishable from conspiracy

    Sometimes being an old fart is useful. Having lived through the Iraq debacle and seen how swiftly and sternly justice was visited upon the perpetrators is quite handy in extrapolating the thoroughness of the investigation of official corruption and the severity of punishments.

    This is why medical tests are *double blind*. It's not to protect against a conspiracy of dishonest researchers, it's because any and every "judgement call" in the process is a weak point. Conspiracy v cockup is the wrong frame.

    .: Banks are required to have a policy on diversity. Despite this, a significant proportion of institutions, 41.6%, have still not adopted a diversity policy and not all institutions have a policy to promote gender diversity.

    crucial bit here: 'A mistaken approach to housing based on maximising total housing numbers, rather than protecting and growing the stock of council and low-rent housing which is London’s overwhelming need'

    Sharing vox pops of ardent Brexiteers who “can’t even say why they voted Leave” is a little unfair and misleading. Many of them can say exactly why. They just don’t want to do it on camera.
