Not least, a growing sense that this government, and quite possibly the next one, in a, I think,

fairly likely scenario that the next government is made up of people different from the current government.

I think that there might be a genuine attempt to get to get a kind of metaphorical

genie back in the metaphorical bottle. I speak of teenagers with smartphones. And I'm reminded of

1983 when I remember telling my late father that I was the only kid or almost the only kid in

my class who didn't have a mini motorbike. My father was unconvinced. I think

it's fair to say. He was, in fact, you know, I can actually remember the name of the lad in my class

who did have a mini motorbike. There was only one. And I was so, maybe this is where my petrol

head gene withered and died. I was so jealous. I can't, i could not imagine at the age of 11 or 12 i couldn't

imagine anything more exciting and more glamorous than having a mini motorbike admittedly the lad who

had one lived on a farm so there were plenty of places he could have ride it i think riding it up

and down hercot road in kidderminster would not only have been quite dangerous, but also illegal.

But if you say to your dad now that you're the only kid in your class who hasn't got a smartphone,

the chances are that you're pretty close to telling the truth.

And that's why I think it is a potentially fascinating, absolutely fascinating issue for a whole heap of reasons.
