good comments all round from yourself, Kirsty, Larry. Apologies for my lack of nuance in posting the list of bodies without comment. We're currently working on brief flash reports for the European Commission detailing the impact of the economic crisis and recent policy changes across 29 European countries (just one or two pages of key points and stats for each country). We'll try to make those available on the ANED website once complete. In the meantime, I'd very much welcome items for the UK summary, arising from this week's spending review or anything you feel has changed in the past year or two.

Don't get me wrong, I will be in Birmingham next Sunday at the demo to oppose the cuts the ConDems are implementing , but New Labour laid the path for them I think, not just with the cuts to funding I mention above, but with its wholesale lack of any practical support for our (Disabled People's) Organisations?
