the Big Society is the biggest load of cods-wallop I’ve heard in my life …………..
total nonsense, and if the ‘’peasants’’ as you refer to
them can’t see farther than the end of theirs noses then I’ve got
no sympathy. Cameron and Company are on fantasy island. By the way before
anyone points the finger I ain’t a ‘lefty’ ………………..
all big society means is the peasants doing work that paid people used to do
but doing it ‘’not voluntary’’ but
almost ‘forced’ …………. Because once they’ve
committed, they daren’t let go ….. they/we have to soldier on.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

we do --------- not just provide quality community radio (which is 40% of what
we do) (quite rightly so) but do all
the other stuff as well …………… young offenders,
socially excluded, people with disabilities, young people, elderly people (WE
DO ALL
THIS)

won’t give us any …………….. Why

and Tories so I ain’t pointing the finger at anyone in particular. I
certainly ain’t sitting here and being patronised or insulted by Cameron
who has just wasted 8 million on a World Cup bid. I had more chance of becoming
King of England than we had of getting the World Cup …………..
furthermore, we got the Olympics and all the money for the small community
groups around the country has been gobbled up …………..
so, in 2012 we’ll have a good four weeks in the sunshine (hopefully’)
and then afterwards we’ll all go back to our ‘Big Society’
only trouble is half of the community groups will have gone ‘belly-up’
so there’ll be nowt’ to go back to.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I stick by what I have always said and it won’t change, no matter how
