T. F. Green International Airport (officially Theodore Francis Green Memorial State Airport)[3] (IATA: PVD, ICAO: KPVD, FAA LID: PVD) is a public international airport in Warwick, Rhode Island, six miles (10 km) south of the state's capital and largest city of Providence. Opened in 1931, the airport was named for former Rhode Island governor and longtime senator Theodore Francis Green. Rebuilt in 1996,[4] the renovated main terminal was named for former Rhode Island governor Bruce Sundlun. It was the first state-owned airport in the United States.[5]
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021 categorized it as a small hub primary commercial service facility.[6]
T. F. Green Airport is a regional airport serving the FAA's New England Region in the FAA System Plan.[7] Along with two other regional airports, Worcester Regional Airport and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, T. F. Green is considered a reliever airport to Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts.[8] The airport is the largest and most active airport among the six operated by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC).

T. F. Green Airport was dedicated on September 27, 1931, as Hillsgrove State Airport, drawing what was at that time the largest crowd that had attended a public function in the country.[5] In 1933, the Rhode Island State Airport Terminal was built on Airport Road, then called Occupasstuxet Road.[9] In 1938, the airport was renamed in honor of Green, who had just been elected to the Senate two years earlier. At the time it had three 3,000-foot concrete runways. The Army Air Force took control from 1942 to 1945, using it for flight training.[5] The February 1947 diagram shows runways 5, 10 and 16 all 4000 ft long; in April 1951 runway 5 was 5000 ft and 5R was under construction. A few years later 5R was 5466 ft, which it remained until extended to 6466 ft around 1967.
The April 1957 OAG shows 26 weekday departures: 11 Eastern, 10 American, four United and one National. Nonstops did not reach beyond Boston and Newark until 1959 when Eastern started a DC-7B nonstop to Washington, which was the longest until United started Cleveland in 1968 and Chicago in 1970 and Eastern started Miami in 1969 and Atlanta in 1970. The first jets were Mohawk BAC-111s in 1966.
President Richard Nixon made a campaign stop at the airport on the night of Friday, November 3, 1972.[10] A crowd of 10,000 watched as Nixon, standing on the steps of Air Force One, urged voters to support Republican candidates Herbert F. DeSimone for Governor and John Chafee for U.S. Senator.[10] (Both lost, though Chafee later won the office in 1976.) Air Force One again touched down at T. F. Green on August 30, 1975, this time carrying President Gerald Ford, en route to a fundraiser in Newport.[11] He was greeted by a crowd of about 1,500 supporters,[11] as well as local politicians including Governor Philip W. Noel, Senator John O. Pastore, and Providence Mayor Buddy Cianci.[12]
Modern era[edit]
To enhance itself as the lone airport for a metro area of over 1.6 million people, a new terminal was built on Post Road in 1964, replacing the old 1933 terminal along Airport Road. In 1996 this terminal was replaced, expanding to 18 gates, and adding a lower arrival level and an upper departure level. In 1997 four gates were added. Airlines added flights to T. F. Green Airport, including Air Canada,[13] Southwest,[14] SATA International (which operated flights to the Azores using an A310-300),[15] and Spirit Airlines.[16]
After the September 11th attacks, T. F. Green Airport, like most airports in the United States, faced a temporarily decrease in passengers and fewer flights from American Airlines (which once flew to Chicago O'Hare and Dallas-Fort Worth Airport), Spirit, and SATA. Until the 2015 finalization of the merger between American Airlines and US Airways, creating one single licensed carrier under the American Airlines name, the Providence Metropolitan Area was the largest MSA in the United States not served by American Airlines or any of its subsidiaries. The decrease in service was especially severe to Chicago O'Hare as between both United and American decreased the number of one way daily seats from nearly a combined 1,400 to today's 225 daily one way seats. Nine flights of 727, 735, 757 and MD-80 service to today's regional jet use. Since the HNTB-designed Bruce Sundlun Terminal opened in 1996, T. F. Green became more congested due to increased traffic and post-9/11 security changes.[17] Renovations followed, including expansion of baggage rooms to accommodate a new In-Line Explosive Detection System (EDS) Baggage Handling System, expanded security screening checkpoints, more concessions and ticket counters, and expansion of RIAC offices on the second and third floors.[18]
Traffic increased to a high of 5.7 million passenger in 2005, while at the same time Boston Logan was handling 25 million passenger. After 2005 airlines started consolidating service at larger airports withdrawing service and reducing frequencies at mid sized hubs and small sized hubs. Airports such as T F green, Jacksonville, Bradley, etc. were affected. The recession and Boston Logan's proximity to the Providence metro area also took its toll on T F Green as numbers decreased to 3.5 million in 2015. In 2017 numbers have grown just shy of 4 million passenger. With the addition of Amazon Air, which includes its own Prime Jets plus DHL and Atlas Air Jets, cargo numbers have increased to nearly 44,000,000 million pounds. This will increase with a full year of service from Amazon Air. Amazon moved their cargo service from T.F. Green to Bradley International Airport as of August 1, 2018.
In 2009 the airport had 83,016 aircraft operations, average 227 per day: 52% scheduled commercial, 24% air taxi, 23% general aviation and <1% military. 71 aircraft were then based at this airport: 77% single-engine, 5% multi-engine, 17% jet and 1% helicopter.[1] In 2011 T. F. Green handled about 3,852,000 passengers.[19] The mainline airline with the largest presence at T. F. Green is Southwest, which carried 50.77% of all passengers for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2012, followed by US Airways with 14.11%.[19] T. F. Green also handled over 26,000,000 pounds (12,000,000 kg) of cargo and mail.[19]
T. F. Green was again visited by Air Force One, a Boeing 747, on October 25, 2010,[20] a Concorde operated by British Airways on June 13, 1988,[21] and an Airbus A340 flown by Iberia Airlines on June 1, 2011, which transported the Men's Spanish National Soccer Team for their match against the U.S. National Team on June 4, 2011, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.[22] T. F. Green was visited by Air Force One again on October 31, 2014, carrying President Barack Obama.[23]
In 2017, Norwegian Air Shuttle began Trans-Atlantic flights to destinations in Europe including Shannon, Cork, and Dublin in Republic of Ireland, Belfast, Northern Ireland United Kingdom and Edinburgh, Scotland United Kingdom, and Bergen, Norway.[24]
In 2017, due to a runway expansion, making T. F. Green's longest runway 8,700 feet (2,700 m), and other economic factors, the airport has seen several wide-body jets and the addition of seventeen new non-stop flights in the past year. This doubles the number of destinations served non-stop from T. F. Green to thirty-four. Cheaper fees at T. F. Green make it an appealing choice for sports teams and entertainers visiting the area. The New England Patriots currently house both of the team's branded Boeing 767 planes at Rhode Island airports, one at T. F. Green, the Official Airport of the Patriots and the other at Quonset Point.
Proposed name change[edit]
In February 2018, the Rhode Island Airport Corporation formally petitioned the state legislature to change the name of T.F. Green Airport to Rhode Island International Airport.[25] The RIAC believes the name change both reflects the airport's recent international flight presence and better describes the location it serves.
The airport's terminal, named for former Rhode Island governor Bruce Sundlun (Sundlun died on July 21, 2011)[26] has two concourses, North and South. The South Concourse has eight gates and the North Concourse has 14. Gates seven and eight are designed for international arrivals and are directly connected to customs, which is on the lower level of the concourse. The terminal contains a number of stores and restaurants, and a central food court.
Runways and apron[edit]
Theodore Francis Green State Airport covers 1,111 acres (450 ha) at an elevation of 55 feet (17 m). It has two asphalt runways: 5/23 is 8,700 by 150 feet (2,652 x 46 m) and 16/34 is 6,081 by 150 feet (1,853 x 46 m).[1] ILS is available for runways 5, 23, and 34, with runway 5 being certified for CAT III Instrument Landing. The other runways with ILS are certified for CAT I.[27] Taxiway Victor was Runway 5L/23R until 2003.
2017 runway expansion[edit]
On October 1, 2017, T. F. Green's runway 5/23 was officially opened for use at its new expanded length of 8,700 feet. Planning on the project began in the 1990s, and work on the expansion began in 2013. The project included building additional safety measures in the event of airplane overruns, removal of nearby utility poles and trees to clear approach lanes, and moving an entire city park from one side of the airport to the other. Officials are hopeful that the longer runway will attract more longer-range nonstop flights, such as the international routes that Norwegian Air began flying in 2017, as well as enhance safety for short-distance flights, giving pilots more runway to use in the case of poor weather conditions.[28]
The runway expansion was desired because, as the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC) wrote in 2001,[29] the master plan completed in 1997 failed to envision the "tremendous growth" that T. F. Green experienced. The report identified the lack of runway length as a hindrance to "range and diversity of service", in particular emphasizing ability to reach non-hub cities, the west coast, and international locations. Challenges for T. F. Green in expanding the runway were the residential and commercial developments around it. Many residents opposed the expansion.[30]
Opponents noted that while the main runway would bring in an estimated $138 million over 13 years, doing so threatened 204 houses, at least ten businesses, and large areas of wetlands. Opponents also argued that the runway was less critical to T.F. Green's success than it was during the peak of passenger travel prior to 9/11 and in the mid-2000s. Expansion opponents cited easier access to Boston's Logan International Airport since completion of the "Big Dig," which included improvements to Interstate 93, the Massachusetts Turnpike, and building the Ted Williams Tunnel; the availability of bus services between T. F. Green and Logan Airport; and the introduction of low-cost carriers at Logan such as JetBlue, as reasons why the runway expansion was no longer as critical.[31]
Despite the opposition, on March 1, 2012, the Rhode Island Airport Corporation was given the go-ahead to expand the runway and improve the safety of the secondary runway. The Warwick City Council unanimously voted to approve the expansion, and drop the lawsuit against the RIAC. President Obama signed a bill providing federal funds for the project. It was officially completed on October 1, 2017.
In 2017, T. F. Green was named the official airport of the New England Patriots.[32]

International service[edit]
T. F. Green is considered an airport of entry and has a full-service U.S. Customs and Border Protection unit on site. The Rhode Island Airport Corporation expects international service to increase, after the 2017 completion of its main runway expansion, but the airport has seen international service come and go in the past twenty years. As of 2017, airlines are serving a record high number of international destinations, including Canada, the Caribbean, and Western Europe.
From 1998 until 2013, T. F. Green had regular service to Toronto–Pearson first via Air Jazz and then by Air Georgian after 9/11, both did business as express carriers for Air Canada.[46] In the early 90's Leisure Air provided twice weekly seasonal service to Bermuda. Charters such as North American Air and Buffalo Air handled scheduled charter service to the Azores from the mid 80's to the early 90's. SATA International, now known as Azores Airlines, has recently resumed seasonal service to the Azores, having previously offered service until 2010.[47] In 2015, service was announced to Frankfurt, Germany by Condor and Praia, in the Cape Verde Islands, by TACV. The Condor service to Frankfurt marked the first non-stop route to mainland Europe from Providence; however, the flight was later suspended for unspecified reasons.[48] February 6, 2017, USA Today announced that Norwegian Air had selected Providence's T. F. Green Airport as its base for flights to Europe.[49] Norwegian Air Shuttle now operates from Providence using new Boeing 737 MAX planes for its service to cities in Western Europe[50] The official announcements were made February 23, 2017, with flights starting to Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Edinburgh and Shannon.[51] The airline has based two 189-seat, 737 MAX planes at T. F. Green, and plans to hire 75 Rhode Island-based crew to operate them. Flights to the Caribbean have also begun, with service to Fort-de-France, Martinique and Pointe-á-Pitre, Guadeloupe. There is a possibility that Norwegian may open a maintenance facility at Green that could include additional jobs. On March 8, Norwegian announced a sixth destination to Bergen, Norway. Seasonal service began in July 2017, and will run from March until October of each year.
On March 14, 2017, charter operations to Cancun, Mexico began with Friday only service, starting July 7, 2017, through Swift Air partnered with Vacation Express.
On May 31, 2017, service via Norwegian Air to Fort-de-France, Martinique, and Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, starting in October 2017 was announced.
Return service to Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada resumed on May 17, 2018, via Air Canada Express.

Ground transportation[edit]
Commuter rail[edit]
The MBTA commuter rail service to and from downtown Providence and Boston commenced on December 6, 2010, and was expanded on November 14, 2011.[54] Service was expanded south to Wickford Junction in April 2012.[55] There are ten weekday trains to Wickford Junction and ten to Providence, most of which continue on to Boston with local stops along the way. Travel time to South Station in Boston is about 85 minutes, while the travel times to both Providence and to Wickford Junction are about 15 minutes.
Amtrak has formally stated they will not stop at the station for the foreseeable future citing a lack of economical feasibility;[56] however, a long-term proposal to reroute and modernize Amtrak's Northeast Corridor service would include a stop at the station.[57]
T. F. Green Airport has direct access to I-95 via the T. F. Green Airport Connector Road, a 1.1-mile (1.8 km) freeway. The airport is served by major car rental companies as well as by local taxi and limousine services.
The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) offers public bus transportation to and from the cities of Providence (Kennedy Plaza in downtown Providence) and Newport. In particular:[58]
- The No. 1 Bus goes to Kennedy Plaza by way of Eddy Street stopping at Rhode Island Hospital and takes about 35 minutes. The No. 1 Bus continues thru to the East Side of Providence down Hope Street and into Pawtucket via East Ave.
- The No. 14 b Plaza and takes approximately 20–25 minutes via Interstate 95; it also connects to Newport, Narragansett, and East Greenwich.
- The No. 20 bus goes to by way of Elmwood and Roger Williams Park and Zoo, and takes approximately 40 minutes.
- The No. 66 (URI/Gaillee) via I-95
Intermodal station[edit]
An intermodal station, completed in October 2010, includes an elevated walkway to the terminal, a rental car garage, and commuter rail parking.[59]
Accidents and incidents[edit]
1999 runway incursion[edit]
On December 6, 1999, at approximately 8:35pm Eastern Standard Time, a runway incursion occurred involving United Airlines flight 1448 (a Boeing 757) and FedEx Express flight 1662 (a Boeing 727) on Runway 5R/23L.[60] Shortly after landing on Runway 5R, United 1448 was instructed by the air traffic control tower to taxi to the gate, part of the instructions including crossing Runway 16. Due to the low-visibility conditions that night, the pilots became disoriented and turned down the wrong taxiway, which led them back towards the active runway they had just arrived on. The tower controller, unaware of United's mistake, cleared FedEx 1662 for takeoff on Runway 5R. United 1448 then confirmed with the controller that they should cross the runway in front of them (neither party aware that they were in fact not near Runway 16) and the aircraft continued moving towards Runway 5R/23L.
United 1448, sounding confused, then radioed that they were near taxiway Kilo, and as they re-entered Runway 5R/23L, reported that "somebody just took off" overhead, referring to FedEx 1662 that had indeed just become airborne in very close proximity to the United aircraft. However, the controller appeared not to take this seriously, stating, "you shouldn't be anywhere near Kilo", and advised the United 1448 crew to hold position. United 1448 informed the tower that they were now on an active runway, which they mistakenly believed to be 23R/5L (inactive at the time). A moment later the pilot corrected himself, stating that they were on 5R/23L. United 1448's crew was told again to stand by, so the aircraft remained idle at the intersection of the active runway, while the controller cleared MetroJet 2998 for takeoff on the same runway. The United 1448 pilot immediately interjected to insist that the plane was on the active runway, which the controller belligerently denied, saying it was not an active runway. Meanwhile, the MetroJet pilot, having heard the exchange, realized there was confusion over the whereabouts of United 1448 and refused the takeoff clearance, stating, "We're staying clear of all runways until we figure this out."
Despite all this confusion, the controller again cleared MetroJet 2998 for take off on Runway 5R. They again refused to accept the clearance for take-off until the United 1448 was confirmed to have arrived at the gate. Once United 1448 was confirmed to be at the gate, MetroJet 2998 finally departed on Runway 5R.
The US Airways crew operating Flight 2998 were praised by a US Air spokesperson for their actions of avoiding a near-disaster. An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board followed and while no fault was assigned to the controller, she was required to undergo retraining before returning to service. The pilots were debriefed by United, received additional training and were returned to service.[61]
Part of the confusion was due to United 1448's inability to correctly identify the runway they were on. During the radio exchanges, United 1448 refers to 23L/5R as 23R/5L and vice versa. Runway 23R/5L has been closed since this incident and is now taxiway V.
2007 CRJ accident[edit]
On December 16, 2007, Air Wisconsin (US Airways Express) flight 3758, a CRJ-200 arriving from Philadelphia, departed the left side of runway 5 after a hard landing by an unstabilized approach.[62] Although the aircraft sustained substantial damage, none of the 31 passengers and crew aboard were injured.

TRENTON — Assemblyman Joseph Cryan refused to vote in committee for gun control legislation that was approved along partisan lines in the Legislature's upper house because he is engaged in a political battle with Senate President Steve Sweeney over the control of the state party apparatus.
Cryan wants Assemblyman Jason O'Donnell of Bayonne to be chairman of the state Democratic Party but Sweeney, a Democrat from Gloucester County, called the Hudson County lawmaker, "simply a beard for Joe Cryan."
O'Donnell was selected for the job by state Sen. Barbara Buono of Metuchen, the Democratic nominee for governor.
Sweeney's gun bill would replace the current paper cards and permits needed to buy weapons with digitized cards, either embedded in gun purchasers' driver's licenses or issued as a separate card by the state police.
It would also require prospective gun buyers to attend a training class and institute background checks for private gun sales among people who are exempt from federal laws that require background checks.

Evan Allen
Ph.D. Student in History of Art
Evan's studies are focused primarily around the art and architecture of the Roman provinces during the Imperial Period, especially borderline contexts. He considers both the conceptualization and representation of frontiers and geography in antiquity as well as the archaeology of provincial cities and fortifications in order to consider how these unique geographical zones expand our understanding of Roman identities and cultural memories under the empire. He's also interested in archaeological media (including digital visualizations and photography), contemporary practices of memorialization, and the reception of antiquity throughout the modern era. Evan received his BFA in Architectural History from the Savannah College of Art and Design (2014) and his MA in the History of Art from the University of Pennsylvania (2016).

Recipe Review: Peanut Sesame Noodles
Today I'm going to shamelessly plagiarize from Smitten Kitten. This is the recipe I found on her site and thought it looked easy enough and tasty. Bear with me because I am actually recommending this recipe even though mine didn't turn out nearly as pretty as hers. I thought the flavor was good and it was something different. Tom didn't much care for it, so it's officially Chick Food.
Peanut Sesame Noodles
Adapted from Gourmet, June 2002
Servings: Makes 6 side-dish or 4 vegetarian main-course servings.
For peanut dressing
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup warm water
1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 medium garlic clove, chopped
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons Asian toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes or a splash of the hot sauce or chili paste of your choice
For noodles
3/4 lb dried soba nooodles (dried linguine fini or spaghetti will work in a pinch)
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/8-inch-thick strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/8-inch-thick strips
Half a seedless cucumber, thinly sliced
1 cup firm or extra-firm tofu, cubed
3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
Purée dressing ingredients in a blender until smooth, about 2 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl.
Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until tender. Drain in a colander, then rinse well under cold water.
Add pasta, scallions, bell peppers, cucumber and tofu to dressing, tossing to combine. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
Mmm….doesn't that just look yummy? Now I'll tell you my experience.
First, I didn't use tofu. I'm not sure tofu is allowed in my house. I used grilled chicken but shrimp sounds good too. Secondly, I didn't used cucumber. Ech. I had some asparagus, so I blanched the asparagus for 2 minutes (actually, I just threw it in with the noodles for the last two minutes of cooking time). You could basically use any veggie combo your heart desired. Snap peas, sweet peas…umm….out of ideas now.
This, however, is not how my dish looked.
I hate to type this, but my dish was kinda, um, dull colored and tacky looking. And by tacky I mean sticky looking. It didn't have the smooth look like above. It may have partly been due to the fact that my soba noodles, when I did find them (three grocery stores later!), were already a brown color like the color of wheat pasta.
Smitten's soba noodles are white and that may help brighten the dish up considerably. However, the soba noodles were tasty, regardless of their color, so if you can find them, try it. They are shorter than spaghetti, about 6 inches, so it was easy to eat.
Also, I used tiny red and yellow peppers and sliced them very thin. I would recommend using larger slices of the large size peppers, but the thought of spending almost $5 for TWO peppers broke my heart so I instead spent $5 on 5 tiny peppers and felt I got more bang for my buck. It's all psychological.
My sauce did look like hers though. Maybe my peanut butter was extra creamy and that's why my sauce really stuck to the noodles.
I used my Magic Bullet which was great, but a blender or even a stand mixer would probably be fine.
Smitten describes eating this cold. I didn't want to eat cold noodles, so mine was more of the warm/hot variety. Obviously, I liked it hot. I tried it the next day straight out of the fridge and wasn't impressed, so I imagine that it might be good at room temp, but hey, do what you please.
Also, it seemed to make a lot. You could try halving the recipe, or make some and freeze, or use for leftovers.
In all, I recommend trying this recipe, even if my dish turned out kinda gummy looking and rather colorless. It tasted just fine. I liked the peanuty flavor (um, who doesn't) and it wasn't too spicy for me, but you could kick it up if you wanted. And if you make if for a guy, I would try to throw in some think flank steak or something to appease them. Or do what I did and top it all off with extra cake for dessert!

Former Labour-government climate activist, Ed Miliband — who, for some reason, is now the opposition leader — has an interview in the Guardian about his and his party's performance.
Ed Miliband today lays out far-reaching reforms designed to modernise Labour's relations with the trade unions, open the party up to the public, and reinvigorate what he describes as its boring annual conference.
The Labour leader regards these changes as critical to his efforts to get the party back in touch with the electorate, and ensure it stays in opposition for only one term.
One way Miliband could make the Labour Party conference less boring is to make himself absent from it and public life in general, assuming that there's nobody as dull and disconnected as he is, waiting to fill his shoes. The interview continues…
In a Guardian interview Miliband says: "I want to open up the leadership to the party and the party to the country. In a society that is changing so fast in so many ways, we cannot continue as we are, with essentially a closed structure that was formed a century ago."
Such an admission that the Labour Party is disconnected from the public ought to cause more self-reflection than blaming the legacy of its organisational structure. It's palpable nonsense, anyway, the structure of the Labour Party of today — never mind its political principles — owes little to the structure of the Labour Party of 1911. Over its history, it has distanced itself from unions, and favoured 'third way' and social democracy in place of socialism. It was the Union vote that won the leadership election for Ed Miliband over his brother, David, and that he now seeks to 'modernise' the party's relationship with them is hardly a surprise. Unions, too, have been unable to sustain the numbers of their own membership. Disconnection is rife.
Says Miliband…
I have a clear sense of where the country needs to go and what needs to happen to the party.
Really? What's that then? Amongst his proposals is that,
Non-party members, such as Greenpeace or other NGOs, would be entitled to speak at party conference as "registered consultees". Miliband said: "In order to have a good conversation at party conference, you've got to expand the conversation."
But aren't Greenpeace already involved in the conversation? Here they are sitting on Parliament's rooftop…
And just to point out that I'm not merely Labour-bashing, but making a serious point here, here's David Cameron, singing from Greenpeace's Rooftop.
[youtube 8gr5rIK097E]
Greenpeace and other NGOs are already heavily involved in the policy-making process, at all levels Government, national and international. Inviting them to party conferences — where they're already invited, anyway — will not broaden the debate, but will narrow it yet further.
NGOs have been co-opted by governments and politicians for two reasons. The first is that supposition that NGOs can make government policies appear to be responsive to needs, be they social or environmental. The 'ethical' stamp of approval from self-appointed activists thereby gain some semblance of legitimacy: 'it doesn't matter that nobody is voting for us, we're saving the planet'. The second is a supposition that NGOs can help to reconnect the gap between politicians and the public.
But NGOs are neither democratic nor accountable. Their influence is not legitimate. But there's worse news for Miliband. The idea that NGOs can mobilise popular support is a proven failure. Back in 2009, Miliband, conscious of the fact that the government's climate policies lacked democratic legitimacy, asked the environmental movement to come up with some bodies,
When you think about all the big historic movements, from the suffragettes, to anti-apartheid, to sexual equality in the 1960s, all the big political movements had popular mobilization. Maybe it's an odd thing for someone in government to say, but I just think there's a real opportunity and a need here.
The result was a shambles. Miliband grew closer to the Age of Stupid director, Franny Armstrong, who established the 10:10 campaign and the couple made many public appearances together in which she'd hector him about not taking climate seriously enough, and he'd whinge that there wasn't enough support. What Miliband hadn't noticed is just how totally the 10:10 campaign was incapable of generating public support. For starters, the message of Age of Stupid is profoundly anti-popular, and expresses contempt for the unwashed, ever-consuming masses and their desires for more, better, faster, cheaper. This was epitomised in their attempts to 'connect' with the public with an advert depicting the violent and bloody murder of individuals — including children — who didn't appear to be taking the climate message seriously. Climate sceptics, for all the rumours that oil companies give $millions to 'deniers' to 'distort' the public perception of the climate debate could not have created anything that so succinctly captured the nastiest side of the environmental movement and its character.
The 10:10 campaign's ill-judged attempt to 'communicate' across the divide demonstrated that NGOs serve as outsourced government departments. What this relationship reveals is that, for the likes of Ed Miliband, the legitimacy of his role, and the basis for the policies he creates are after-thoughts. He's found himself as the leader of the opposition, and is now thinking 'ok, I'm leader of the Labour Party, now how can I make myself as popular as I need to be to be the leader of the Labour Party'. And it's as though he's decided which policies he wants, and now wants to set about making those policies legitimate without actually debating them — call in the NGOs. This is politics upside down. It should be popular support which brings political leaders and their ideas to power. Instead, we see bland and hollow managerial politicians in bed with NGOs employed as public image consultants in some mutually self-serving play for power. Miliband's programme can only make it a more ugly spectacle, assuming, that is, anyone is even watching.
14 Responses to Trouble at Miliband
"…he'd whinge that there wasn't enough support." Sentiments shared by Miliband Snr, who famously accused the public, in October 2009, of "lacking a sense of urgency in the face of the potentially devastating consequences of climate change."
'David Miliband said that people had grown apathetic about the issue when they needed to be galvanised into action before the Copenhagen climate change summit in December.
"For a lot of people the penny hasn't dropped that this climate change challenge is real and is happening now," he said. "There isn't yet that feeling of urgency and drive and animation about the Copenhagen conference."'
And as it turned out…
Milliband says:
"When you think about all the big historic movements, from the suffragettes, to anti-apartheid, to sexual equality in the 1960s, all the big political movements had popular mobilization."
He forgets to mention the two biggest – CND and the anti Iraq war movement. I wonder why.
New Labour is a failing brand which wants some of that Greenpeace brand image – brave blokes in a dinghy confronting whalers and warships. Perhaps they should take a leaf from Plane Stupid's period costume demo book, dye themselves sepia, don flat caps and march on Parliament singing "Fight for Better Wages".
Gee, so it's only fair for business to pressure the govt, but not by anyone else?
Gee, so it's only fair for business to pressure the govt, but not by anyone else?
You need to work on your reading comprehension. Ben is not talking about pressuring the government, which is what the Eco-NGOs do all the time. They are welcome to do that from outside government.
He's talking about Millibrand allowing them a platform on the Labour conference. That's inside the political process.
Imagine if the Tories were to get a bunch of industrial leaders are their big ticket speakers. Then make the heads of Shell and Exxon "registered consultees" to the Conservative Party! That's the equivalent exercise.
"thereby gain some somnolence of legitimacy"
I was going to say, "Surely you mean 'some semblance'" then I thought, "No, better as it is."
[Ben: Thanks Rich. Spell checker haste.]
Ed Milliband's catastrophic strike interview, in which he repeats one single phrase five times in reply to five different questions, can be seen, together with an article by the interviewer here
It's also the subject of an amusing article by Charlie Brooker at
Brooker points out that other politicians (Osborne, Darling) have done the same thing, and attributes it to the desire to produce one quotable soundbite for the evening news, leading politicians to parrot the phrases produced by their minders, irrespective of the question posed.
Brooker's explanation is convincing, but contradicted by something I found while transcribing last year's Guardian debate on Climategate. This work in progress is can be found at Alex Cull's transcript site at
During the 98 minute debate, Bob Watson, ex head of the IPCC, chief scientific adviser to DEFRA, and White House aide, gives the same response half a dozen times, to half a dozen questions, in a stream of consciousness which sounds like a hail of bullet points run together with a minimum of pronouns and conjunctions. Listening to his garbled apology for a reasoned argument, it's difficult to believe that the man is a "top scientist". One can only imagine that his immense influence in the corridors of power is due to the fact that he speaks the same language as his masters.
Watson is clearly not worried about the reactions of voters, so one can only assume these people talk like this because they think like this, and they think like this because their sources of information are formulated in this way. Spend your life reading Executive Summaries, and your mind becomes a Powerpoint Presentation.
A lot of people are worrying about Ed, since he's obviously not very good at his job, which is conceived to be similar to that of a manager selling his business plan to the board of directors. My worry is that he may be replaced by someone more competent, and we'll lose sight of the real problem, which is how low our expectations of politicians are.
This post shows the importance of the dark side of societal attributes that are under-appreciated in democracies.
The exercise of power is effective only in existence of minor 'co-factors'. Such as, say, whimsy for example. In the devolution from monarchies, personal whimsy and discretion has been continually and progressively discredited as a value. "Why are we passing this law that men will tip their hats when they pass by a lady? Because the king felt so". – this is gone. Instead, there is a scientific 'reason' for law-making and legislating, there is 'logic' and this kills the joy for those who rule, and those who are. This tendency is reactionary, socialist in its basic nature and has its roots in the Frech Revolution. It is precisely this tendency that Bastiat criticized.
While it is laudable to imagine and strive for rule of reason, what constitutes 'reason' and 'logic' however is as slippery and treacherous as anything else. Therefore it is inevitable that the original problem returns. A Western democracy like Britain – mature in its ways – sclerosed beyond any recognition – is precisely the place where its rulers and bureaucrats take its own laws too seriously and apply it to themselves with the utmost of mindless vigor. All venues of exercise of power are thus choked off. The outcome is that power, which can scarcely be contained, finds its own outlets – witness NGOs, quangos and other power parasites.
True power is power without accountability. Power with accountability is no power. This is what our democratically elected leaders have – cordoned off, circumscribed, restrained and bound down. Is it any wonder then, that Greenpeace writes our manifestos?
This sounds as if it could be really interesting if translated into terms we could all understand. Are you saying that our rulers, frustrated at their lack of real power, get a surrogate kick out of handing over decision-making to the Parliament-scaling banner-waving he-men of Greenpeace?
I don't see the illusory nature of political power as being frustrating for our leaders. The trapping are surely enough. Writing "MP" after your name, being listened to by (sometimes) respectful crowds, and writing your own expense claims are surely pleasures we can all understand, which make up for the lack of real influence over the workings of the world.
You could argue that the true usefulness of legislators is in the process of getting elected itself. As with the apparently pointless mating ritual of some exotic bird of paradise, the process of telling electors what they want to hear, and the cull of the unsuccessful, constitute a spectator sport which helps to reconcile the population to the political process.
I'm not sure that Bastiat has much to offer us, beyond a couple of amusing anecdotes. Like his contemporary Marx, he tended to interpret social action to fit his theory. Unlike Marx, he never founded a movement that anyone voted for.
Bastiat offers Shub a chance to sound well read and urbane. What more do you want?
"Power with accountability is no power."
Rot. A cool sounding piece of pseud. No-one anywhere has ever held total power and so for all rulers it is a matter of scale how much direct power they hold. Today parties tend to hold what individuals used to hold, but the power is real enough. Even coalition governments can ram through unpopular actions.
In any case the delay mechanisms of representative democracy are such that any accountability is long delayed. Cameron can bomb Libya with nothing more than a vote from his own side. If he pays for that decision, it will be a long time coming.
As Ben points out, the "green" decisions of the modern parties are particularly free from any accountability. They attempt to garner support by means of emotional blackmail (if don't like windmills, you must be against a good environment, you bad person).
I rubbed your mental expectations arising from the intellectual bracket you put me in, the wrong way?
If we imagine someone in a position of power, say Cameron, to be 'frustrated', what frame of reference would that be in? One, in which he comes to office trying to do something 'for the people', 'for the country', 'for his constituents' etc.
But this is a purely egocentric perspective on power and the people who occupy positions of power, isn't it? That's what we think he should want to do, not what he wants to do!
Indeed, Mooloo inadvertently supports what I laid out – though I was not very good at explaining it – Britain would do such a thing as bombing Libya precisely because there is so little room for the exercise of power elsewhere. Again, as he (?) points out, accountability for display of power is almost nil for actions like bombing Libya. That is exactly what I meant – power seeks venues for unaccountable expression, despite our best efforts. If these are lacking, it will create them.
As for the devolution to Greenpeace, that is not Cameron wants to do, but that is just what has happened.
Indeed, Mooloo's point perhaps explains why societies which prize freedom at home (from classical Athens, to Republican Rome, to the Rashidun Caliphate, to 18th- and 19th-century Britain, to the United States today) are still prone to be vicious imperialists abroad. Although such imperialism in the end necessitates large standing armies which are liable to destroy democracy at home as well.
I used the bombing of Libya because it was a nice clear cut example and because, as a non-Briton, my knowledge of British internal politics can be a bit ropey.
The same ability to do things, despite heated public opposition occurs internally too. Cameron will try and reform the NHS. He will succeed or fail based on his relative power to the NHS, not any issues of accountability.
The inability of Cameron to give the appearance of strong rule is not accountability. It is that the political and economic system is already more or less set up the way he wants it. All the major parties only differ on details, so of course the changes they make are not dramatic.
They are foundering, trying to find new ways forward. Ways to distinguish and legitimise themselves. Hence the appeal of "Green", which they think makes them look hip and new.
If the UKIP or BNP came to power, it would soon be pretty obvious that a British PM with strong party support can do lots of radical things. The current lot don't lack power. They lack ideas.
Just stumbled across this. Might be of relevance.
Reminds one of Greenpeace activism vis a vis 'palm oil-Nestle-orang-utan'.

Exploitation of Self-Employment Laws Leaving a Hole in Public Finances
Two reports released this month suggests that employers are using avoiding self employment laws to dodge paying tax and give workers more rights.
The government's recruited Matthew Taylor to head up an investigative team to find out how people work. Their findings suggest that some employers were using "gig workers" - such as taxi drivers, couriers and fast food deliverers - to avoid paying tax such as national insurance.
"There are reasons why that might be a good thing in terms of how those people are working, but it is clear to a certain extent what is actually going on is, people are creating forms of work for themselves, or businesses are creating forms of work, to try to avoid tax," Taylor told the BBC.
The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has put forward that the increase of "insecure work" could be costing the Treasury £4 billion a year.
"The rise in low paid self-employment accounts for just over half (£2.1bn) of this bill, with the government collecting billions less in income tax and National Insurance contributions," the TUC said.
They added, "The surge in zero-hours working had left an additional £1.9bn hole in the public finances."
TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said the rise in insecure work was "punching a massive hole in the public finances" too.
"Zero-hours contracts and low-paid self-employment are costing the economy billions every year in lost tax revenues. That's money that could be spent on stopping the crisis in our schools and hospitals and making sure every elderly person gets decent care," she said.
"Bosses who employ staff on shady contracts are cheating all of us. That's why we desperately need more decent jobs that pay a fair wage."
"Getting more people into unions is key. Workers in unionised workplaces are twice as likely to be on better-paid secure contracts."

hey guys-
our girlfriends are going out of town tonight so we're going out on a meat-eating adventure in ktown or sawtelle or little tokyo (pretty much anywhere but the SGV- too far). here's my criteria, maybe you guys have some ideas I haven't thought of? We're huge Dansungsa fans, and do Fu Rai Bo at least once a week, so I was looking for other things along those lines, even though if we end up going back to one of those I won't be upset.
1. funky, dark bar-like atmosphere (Dansungsa is the best example I can think of)
2. pitchers of beer or cheapish soju in a place where ordering several of each won't make you look out of place.
3. very good food with several meat options (grilled pork ribs, chicken wings, beef)
4. won't break the bank (Park's BBQ is out, as much as I wish it wasn't)
So how about it? Any other delicious drinking gems I've missed long the lines of the other places?

KENTON COUNTY, KY (FOX19) - Police in Kenton County strike out on a search for a wanted person, but what they found instead is being called "disgusting."
Inside a home on Walnut Road in Latonia Lakes, officers found two children (ages four and five), several adults, 13 dogs and several cats living in deplorable conditions littered with animal urine and feces.
Officers charged Christina Kurtz, 29, with second degree criminal abuse.
"The mess that was in there is rare. We don't tend to see things on this scale," said Det. Andrew Schierberg with the Kenton County Police
Police say inside the home, an 89-year-old woman was in a bed, unable to move on her own. They say that bed was covered in urine and feces.
"The animals treated the entire house like their litter box. There was animal feces and urine all over the floors and all over the furniture," said Schierberg.
Robert Lile lives in the home. He admits what police say they saw and found is true.
"They're not wrong," Lile said.
He explains the problem started with his sister's love of animals and bringing rescued dogs to the home.
"Who wants to clean up after that many dogs on a daily basis? It's just too overwhelming," Lile said.
He says the clean-up fell on those inside, even though, as he says, his sister and another man were to be responsible for them. He tells FOX19 it's all just too much to handle.
"Having to watch over my mom, and having to watch over Christina's kids, plus all the dogs, it's just, basically, too much," said Lile.
Kenton County Police officers called for an ambulance to take the elderly woman to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Edgewood. The children were removed from the home by police. The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services is working to assist the children and the elderly woman.
Lile says they are in the process of cleaning up the home.
As for the animals, they were taken by Kenton County Animal Control.
Police tell FOX19 they expect more charges to come in the future that could include animal abuse and elder abuse.

Hey everyone ^^ I finally got around to doing my playlist... I am so slow XD
For my playlist I wanted it to be a sort of welcome pack to anyone who doesn't know what K-Pop is :D
Ive added a few of the songs that got me hooked on K-Pop because if they worked for me, I'm almost certain they would work for some other people too :)
1. Alone - Sistar
For those of you who read my introduction to the K-Pop Community card, you most likely guessed that this would be on my list XD
This was my first K-Pop song and it hooked me immediately, I think it is a good song to introduce non-Kpoppers to K-Pop as it's not so intense as to scare them away, and its not too slow that they will get bored either, plus the dance looks so cool that I'm sure most people will want to try it. Also if hot girls are your thing then that just adds another plus to this :P
2. Reason to Become a Witch - NS Yoonji (NS Yoon-G)
This was another of the earliest K-Pop songs I heard, the fact that I am a big fan of Pop music made this an instant hit with me, and I think it is so fun and catchy that almost anyone who likes Pop music could appreciate this. When I first watched this my dad thought I was watching a Britney Spears video XD
3. Incredible - Xia (feat. Quincy)
I think this is probably about one of the most english friendly K-Pop songs in existence, on top of that it is just an incredibly good song, and the chorus is something almost anyone can sing along too ^^ When I first heard this song I ended up having it on repeat for about two weeks XD
4. Danger - BTS
I can imagine at this point it is highly possible someone would start to complain that all K-Pop is just the same old Pop music, thats the point I would hit them (Not literally) with this little bit of Hip-Hop brilliance, a little intense maybe but I think any fans of this genre would handle it pretty well :)
5. Magnet - EvoL
To keep those who are into Hip-Hop interested and wanting more I would move to this awesome girl group, This is one of my all time favourite songs, also just a little fun fact about the group, the E and the L in the title of their name are both capitalized so that you can reverse their name to say LovE :)
6. Pray - FT Island
If rock is more your thing than you're in luck we can cater to your likes as well, I adore this song, which is funy because I'm not that big a fan of rock music, well at least not when it's as intense as this, still I think anyone who likes this kind of music would really enjoy this ^^
7. Just Another Girl - Kim Jaejoong
Ok so if FT Islands song was a little too much for you then that is ok, you have Jaejoong to fall back on, and this is by no means a step down either, this is such an awesome song, and although it isn't quite as intense its still packs a pretty impressive vocal punch I think rock fans could enjoy this :)
8. Born Hater - Epik High (feat. Bobby, B.I, Verbal Jint, Beenzino, and Mino)
If straight rap is your thing I think you will enjoy this, I to this day cannot skip this song, and as a big fan of rap music, I can happily say that this easily stands on its feet next to American Rap music... at least it does in my opinion :)
9. Joke - Rap Monster
As I previously stated I am a big fan of rap music, and I find this incredibly impressive, and an overall good song :D for me Rap Monster (along with Tablo) is in my top 4 rappers in all music, from any country^^
10. Rose - Lee Hi
Finally we come to the more ballad side of music, if this kind of music is your style then I think you're going to like this, Lee Hi's voice is just so stunning, I absolutely love her, and I think most peole easily could :)
11. My Old Story - IU
Another incredible ballad singer in the world of K-Pop, wether you like this sort of music or not, you cannot deny this girls talent as a singer, the emotion she is able to convey in her songs is so amazing <3
12. Perfume - K.Will & Noel (Jeon Woo Sung)
This song, I only wish I could sing like one of these guys, truly an incredible song, and a fantastic ballad :)
Well that cocludes my list, I am considering doing another part cause I didnt have enough time to add all the songs I wanted here, anyway I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope this would have the potential to interest some non-Kpoppers in K-Pop.
Thanks for reading <3
