Come­di­an-activist Mark Thomas hosts The Man­i­festo on BBC Radio 4, in which he and his stu­dio audi­ence con­sid­er pro­pos­als for a Peo­ple’s Man­i­festo on top­ics rang­ing from the sub­lime to the ridicu­lous. Some­where in the mid­dle, there’s seri­ous stuff with a comedic twist, and in the lat­est pro­gram, my “Mod­ern Debt Jubilee” got a guernsey.

It did­n’t win the Shout, so a pro­pos­al to elim­i­nate tax avoid­ance got up instead, but it’s nice to see that the idea is get­ting into the pub­lic domain.
