1. Remember that the world will not end ... It will just be different.
2. Remember that we have survived numerous governments in the past who have replaced spine with political expediency or which have been held upright by torrents of irrational venom. They too will pass.
3. Remember that said spineless or vengeful governments do cause injury to those vulnerable to their Manichaean world view and, while they will pass, the damage they wreak in the present must be challenged at all times. Occupy, reappropriate, land, words, hearts and minds.
4. Remember that all real dissent takes time ... Patience really is a virtue and real change is not fast food.
5. Take the 66 days holiday owing to me ... Work will not fall apart if I'm not there.
6. See more live music (I know I say that every year but have just discovered the very funky jazz cafe in Camden, and the uber-funky 'tortured soul' from Brooklyn, NY, not to mention Jazzie B as the late night DJ - my feet hurt from the dancing).
7. Make more chutney.
