Dear all
Here is a link to Andrew Dilnot's lecture from Monday, at Kings London. It is in "slides and audio" form: you can skip through by clicking on subsequent slides. This was an excellent and lively lecture, including one multiple-choice statistical problem - in minute 18. There are extended sections on the issues around social care, the state of the economy, and the media.
Unfortunately, there was also a British Academy event across town, where Harvey Goldstein, Polly Toynbee and others were discussing "Big Data". Perhaps others have information on that; Harvey wrote a piece in the Times Higher Ed of 1 Nov.
Best,
Jeff
