Downloading the BBC Radio 4 programme in which I presented my case

It is still possible to hear the BBC Radio 4 programme in which I argued that 'the welfare state was a mistake'. A visitor to this site kindly tells me one can, for the time being, download the programme here.

This brings up a website which offers three links to the recording. I have used the second one, starting 'megaupload' recently with success. You have to wait while the programme downloads. It seems as if nothing is happening but it is. See the top right hand corner of the website to see how many more seconds before the download is completed. When the download is completed, you can listen. Don't be put off by the fact that the broadcast starts with some brief news before the programme gets under way.

In the programme, I was 'heckled' by Niall Dickson, chief executive of the King's Fund, Professor Nicholas Barr, Professor Pat Thane and the Liberal Democrat MP and shadow spokesman on education, Edward Davey.
