Coincidence?

“Enemies of Progress” was published in late May 2008.

Lo and behold, UK foreign secretary David Miliband used the phrase in a speech at University of South Africa just 5 weeks later on 7 July 2008 and Gordon Brown did the same in a speech to the Knesset on 21 July 2008.

Obviously they used it in a completely vacuous way… but even so... it’s nice to see that they are reading productively these days.
