Phil Redmond is a self-styled "working class hero" who has "devised" several working class TV soap operas, such as Grange Hill, Brookside and Hollyoaks.
Cameron's Tories appointed him as a cheerleader for their "Big Society" vision of replacing social services currently provided by local government with a "vision" of everyone working for free through voluntary and charitable groups. He's now speaking of his frustration.
Being a shallow political thinker, he still hasn't sussed that he was being used by the Tories to provide celebrity cover for their agenda of dismantling the welfare state.

Quote:He (Redmond) tells the Local Government Chronicle magazine: "I went along with it all because I thought it would be a good way of getting things going, but it's been impossible to get any traction because of the cuts everyone is dealing with post spending review trauma."
