Armando Iannucci's #twitterforce to put Tory Big Society into action
Yesterday, political journalists were having fun with the Tories' invitation to join their government, asking for diplomatic postings to Caribbean islands and suchlike. (No word yet on whether my formerly very private wish to be Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster will be granted.) Today it is the turn of the comedians: Jeremy Hardy has taken out his own appendix and Armando Iannucci is taking up the Tories' offer to run local public services with an attempt to organise his own police force for Wigan – a #twitterforce . We will keep you updated with any developments in Iannucci's bottom-up power-to-the-people crime-fighting initiative. Anyone else who can't stand the suspense of the election campaign and just wants to put the Big Society into action right here, right now – please post your ideas below. Update, 15 April: Iannucci has wound up #twitterforce .
