Hello


I'm concerned that the Big Society concept is being hijacked, and we are taking the usual polite stance common to the British peasantry, which assumes that 'they' know best.


'They' need our help. We can give it.


We have Get Media: http://www.getmedia.org.uk/ - Bill can give you a password to load content. I suggest we start to use that facility to load short statements (as well as programme content) that every station can then broadcast.


I've a heavy cold but I'll make a start later today to question PRS/PPL. I don't understand this system at all, so I'll make a few statements based on immature assumptions in the hope that someone, somewhere, will tell me why we have to sign a punitive contract that gives us no control over where our money goes. OK, that's controversial perhaps, but isn't that what the Community Media Association should be doing? Questioning, negotiating, reasoning?


In the Big Society we have a say in how our world is run.


I always did believe that peasants were revolting.


Be happy, live life with a smile on your face.
