From a decade of focus groups, @catherinehapper finds citizens feel: utter disconnect between mainstream media content and their own lived experience. Don't blame social media for all social ills; blame those with power; In this, ask: positive change: how? https://t.co/Gbra82lTDF

WFH may be OK for the older generation, but for the Bridget Joneses of today it's a sham and a snare - and they'll never meet their Mr Darcy
