    Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

    Am I paranoid? It is depressing, and yet we do know that people pressure can be effective. I see your point about the faxes, but I for one have no cash to send faxes, so will have to do emails and letters ........ some things worry me though ... What we don't know is how deep they are...

    The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill 2006 or near unfettered ministerial power

    rally When the moment for a rally arrives, take a few days food with you, some warm clothes and water - we might need to stay out for a while to get the message across. Oh and some lemons, bach flower rescue remedy and other useful healing stuff. Also travel in groups, make teams of people, so...

    Sane Britain Disappears

    Shits and Fans! Padraig, thanks for posting these articles .... we are now looking at the writing on the wall ..... and we had better get active, or they will press ahead with their agenda, though it may appear that all we can do is slow it down .... I am not so sure that is the case. Born a...

    Critiques of psychoanalysis

    Both Alice Miller and Carl Rogers have important things to say about PA, the nuts and bolts of which are this. The standard set-up of the Psycho-Analyst is that the PA is the one with all the power, and appropriate knowledge, (having spent years studying the subject in the best Universities...

    The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill 2006 or near unfettered ministerial power

    They are having a LARF - We write to the MP, and local councillor and everyone else who should be dealing with it, to put on record our feelings on the matter. They won't do much untill there are so many people knocking on their door, that they are either frightened into action or ashamed of...

    The Hater's Thread

    Making hay ..... lol! No I do not in any way wish for a shame based anything - to be an affective activist one must be at core shame-free, happy and connected to life's incredible energy - otherwise it's a path to burn-out. This activism is a life-times journey. What I was trying to get at is...

    The Hater's Thread

    Use the system or not? If I was given the chance to 'go through the system' as you put it, I would most certainly abuse the oppurtunity (in terms of those who provided that oppurtunity) and the limitations placed upon me by those who seek to profit from it, by telling the truth, by speaking...

    Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

    replies from mps etc., I suggest giving them a week to reply, then email them again, stating that this is the second time you have done so, and given the nature of this bill, you are now even more concerned than ever and that if there is no sensible follow-up you will write to all your local...

    The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill 2006 or near unfettered ministerial power

    The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill (LARF) It is as bad as it can get insofar as it shows just how far this government, these war-mongering, corporation ass kissing 'representatives of the people' want to go. And that is really scary. As it is our democracy is a mere tokenised version of...

    The first impetus of music, in it's natural state is to express spirit, life-force, a thing of great beauty. So yes, you are right to assert that essence of it. The shrill sound of purely political music brings to mind communist songs about the virtues of building tractors or martial music. lol...

    "It's not about the money. It's the principle."

    Well put, and I see your point. First of all let me say that much of what I do, and have been doing for over ten years now, on a day-to-day basis, is akin to being a social worker and facillitator. I host events, I encourage and mentor other musicians and also act as a carer/steward at outdoor...

    Yikes! I made the point to indicate that we are all in this together, and when we work together, we share the results of the work. It doesn't have to be all day, every day. And the work for adults is making sure the world of the children is safe, thus nurturing our sustainablity as a species...

    Liberal Democracy (you love it really)

    democracy schemocracy! The various forms of democracy discussed by the professional elites, and others who dominate the democratic process worldwide are a series of intellectual smoke screens. The core reality is that when a people can grow their own food, and build their own shelter, they do...

    Taxation / Representation

    Taxes ..... The first taxes were taken at the point of a knife or the end of a big stick, just so the guy holding either weapon could make more and bigger ones. Exactly what kind of representation does anyone want with thugs?

    "It's not about the money. It's the principle."

    What ought to matter to you as a listener is whether or not the music serves the community! Given the situation in todays world where sales taxes, and income taxes are used to pay for wars anyone who is not aware needs to be brought up to date, and following on from that needs to be encouraged...
