Sticking their necks out

In slower news, Tortoise closes its online-early-bird-more-complex-than-Easyjet-subscription offers on Kickstarter tonight. At time of writing they've raised pledges of £526,538, from 2,443 people. They'd like to get to 3,000.

They've also been piloting their member 'Think-Ins' - attendees get a 44 page briefing note on the topics under discussion. This week there were sessions zingily entitled "The Anatomy of Football: The Player's Life - Dream or Delusion ?" and "The Question of Gender: Who decides who we are ?".
At this stage we have no idea if celebrity supporters Steven Mangan and Alexander Armstrong (both Cambridge University contemporaries of James Harding) showed up.
