When I was at school in the late 1950s, the RSA offered a series a useful examinations in English (and other subjects). These were designed to be taken before O-Level. They were of a high standard. Then, the RSA was a regarded organisation - well known, respected and relevant. Who the hell hears about it now.

I think the RSA is dragging itself into the 21st century with some surprisingly prescient pieces of work.

And I have it on good authority that the number of fellows is continuing to rise.

But you wouldn't be one to let facts get in the way of a bit of sniping, would you Guido?

Actually I think he's breathed some life into what was an increasingly tired, self-indulgent and lightweight society - I'm considering renewing my lapsed fellowship. At least it is noticeable now and does some interesting stuff - and he is a pretty good political commentator on telly too - quite amusing and self effacing. .

He certianly doesn't appear to be campaigning for Labour: he was given flogging by John Prescott for saying Cameron has the political courage to tackle the government.

You might have to face it Guido - Blair and Cameron have more in common with each other than Blair with Brown or either with their own party. That's why Taylor resonates well with the majority of the British public that hopes that Cameron will be the architect of a Blair-ite revival. Just as they the nation looked to Blair to give us Thatcherism with compassion, they are looking to Cameron to give us Blairism with steel.

Well said Guido! I wrote to the RSA's President a year ago, pointing out that Taylor was forever on 'Today' and 'PM' and 'Newsnight', pontificating about the Blair Legacy and what the fuck did that have to do with running the RSA? I got a very dusty reply, saying that the sopciety was absolutely delighted with its new high media profile' under young Matthew.

Given that social mobility has declined significantly under nulab, the biggest barrier that needs removing his Gordon and his coven of thieving lackeys.

The best thing Matthew Taylor could do, to achieve his own ends, would be to resign.

Perhaps he could find a new job in the Guardian, probably something involving words such as "outreach", "diversity" or "community".

Excellent post Guido - yes, I am a disappointed member - and reassured that there are so many the same. The left of centre bias, the left-wing events - with the dreaded Toynbee. There really is a need for an organisation that performs to the original mandate and not this pernicious statist, 3rd way

So 17, sorry to hear about your mum.

Socialism is a Totalitarian creed.

It seeks to take over and destroy anyone who opposes it.

Whether Hitler and his concentration camps, or Pol pot and his re-education camps or Castro and his special prisons for those who write poetry against him.

Once you put a Socialist in charge, the organisation stops being open and becomes an arm of the Socialist revolution.

Anyone who's heard Charter House people speak can see the creep of Marxist controal.

Did you know the charity sector has its own Cabinet Office Dept, poncily called the third sector. Only a Blairite half=wit could think that up, of course. It a handy way for all the anxious do gooders to sidle up to Nulab and who knows, into Parliament where they can then pass more impoverishing [for the rest of us] legislation.

I've joined the RSA today after much thought. My two bobs worth (from having done both) is, better to be involved in constructive conversations / action than mudslinging from the sidelines. I hope you all find somewhere to hang out that gives you the chance to contribute in positive ways to whatever it is you believe in, hopefully for the betterment of many, not few. Would be nice to see less anonymity here too, but I imagine many of you have reasons for that. Hope it changes for you. Bestest - Libby

Sad to learn of NuLab's creeping corruption spreading its tentacles into the RSA too.

Wasn't it founded by Charles I? Not quite sure what to make of his fate at Cromwell's hands. Perhaps someone can suggest a lesson to be learned.

BBC News cannot be reformed, it is now far too corrupted. All the staff in the news department must therefore be sacked within 24 hours of Cameron taking over.

All new staff taken on will have to sign very strict contracts.

I would be very happy to organise and attend to all this personally.
