Since taking the helm as chairman of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) in 2015, Tim Holden has led his team forward with store modernization, digital advertising and marketing, and e-commerce improvements. Pennsylvania is the U.S. market's second-largest control state by spirits sales, and the largest among control states that are sole wholesalers of wines within their geographical boundaries. "Competition is real, and we're taking it seriously," Holden says. "Gone are the days of being the only game in town, and we're striving to be a destination retailer offering customer service, product selection, and experiences not available anywhere else."
The modest, soft-spoken Holden is a seasoned political veteran who served his Pennsylvania district in the House of Representatives for 20 years from 1993-2013. This experience serves him well, as he oversees the operations of the nation's largest beverage alcohol retail system. "Given our network of more than 580 retail stores, we have the luxury of experimenting with various store formats, layouts, merchandising strategies, and checkout flows in small pilots to test their receptiveness and success before implementing them broadly," Holden says. "Our retail philosophy centers on a few key values: customer service, continual improvement, collaboration, and innovation."
Under Holden's leadership, retail spirits sales in Pennsylvania eclipsed $1 billion in fiscal 2016-17 and on-premise wine sales have nearly doubled from $140.4 million in fiscal 2015-16 to $278.9 million in fiscal 2018-19. For his team leadership, commitment to modernizing Pennsylvania's retail tier, and dedication to both customers and employees, Tim Holden has been named a 2020 Market Watch Leader.
Wine (imported wine shelves pictured) makes up 45% of sales at all Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores for the PLCB.
A lifelong resident of St. Clair in northeastern Pennsylvania—the state's coal region—Holden reflects that, as a younger man, he never saw himself as a congressman or chairman of the PLCB. "I was hoping to be a state representative," he says. "My congressman retired at a time that was really good for me." Holden served on the House Agricultural Committee for all 20 years of his congressional tenure, the Transportation Committee for 16 years, and the Government Oversight Committee for four years. His ability to work with others and to focus on the big picture made him a valuable leader.
Holden was first nominated to the PLCB by former Gov. Tom Corbett in 2013, and named PLCB chairman by Gov. Tom Wolf in 2015. He's been a board member of the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association (NABCA) since 2015.
Pennsylvania's beverage alcohol sales have experienced steady growth under Holden's leadership. Retail dollar sales of spirits in Pennsylvania increased 4.6% in fiscal 2019 to $1.07 billion, according to the PLCB. Spirits volume increased 2.9% in calendar 2019 to 7.9 million cases, according to Impact Databank/NABCA. And overall spirits sales—including on-premise—increased about 5% to $1.42 billion. While retail wine sales decreased 2.4% in fiscal 2019 to $800 million, on-premise wine sales increased 13% to $278.9 million, and overall wine sales were up 1% to approximately $1.08 billion, according to the PLCB.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic swept over the U.S., the PLCB was on course to break its sales record set last year. Gov. Wolf, however, closed all PLCB retail and online sales for the last two weeks of March. "We had to adjust," Holden says. "We went from shutdown to expanding our e-commerce, which was never intended to be our sole source, to curbside, then to reopening our stores."
The PLCB created and implemented a never-before-considered curbside pickup program on April 20 with a limited launch as a response to the Covid-19 crisis. Over the next several weeks, more stores were added, and customers responded. "From just April 20-May 31, we processed over 1 million curbside orders for $69.76 million," Holden says. By the time this summer kicked into gear, the PLCB's retail tier was once again firing on all cylinders, including online sales and curbside pickup, with retail sales increasing 15.4% during July and August.
While curbside pickup sales have slowed down from their peak this spring, they are now an important element of the PLCB's retail business model. Between June 1 and August 31—a span of 92 days—PLCB retail operations processed about 150,000 curbside orders totaling $9.51 million. "We're taking technology and operational steps to support the new elevated level of online sales," Holden says.
Across its retail and distribution networks, the PLCB carries over 18,000 wine SKUS (alternative packages pictured).
Retail Modernization
PLCB stores range in size from under 1,000 square feet in rural areas to about 18,000 square feet in urban locations, with the average store size at approximately 5,200 square feet. And Holden has overseen dramatic changes to the PLCB's retail operations, including enhanced layouts, designs, signage, and p-o-s systems. "Store projects will vary by location, but we want every customer to walk into a Fine Wine & Good Spirits store that is inviting and appealing," he says.
Under Holden's leadership, the PLCB is accelerating efforts to renovate the remaining stores in its network that need to be modernized, and he's also growing the number of Premium Collection stores in Pennsylvania. "With more than half of our stores renovated within the last eight years, our goal is to have all of our stores renovated or refreshed within about the next year and a half," he says.
In 2019, the PLCB began installing Taste & Learn Centers in some of its Premium Collection stores. "These are in-store spaces dedicated to delivering unique tasting and educational experiences for customers," Holden says. "Limited seating allows our employees, winemakers, master distillers, professional chefs, and product ambassadors to interact with guests in a private, controlled environment conducive to learning."
As for his staff, Holden has poured significant resources into employee education. "Since we have hundreds, if not thousands, of products in each store, we have enhanced wine and spirits training programs for employees," Holden says. "We want our clerks to learn about these products and actively help customers select them, so education will remain a key focus."
With 5,800 spirits SKUs, Pennsylvania's overall spirits sales (vodka shelves pictured) increased to $1.42 billion in 2019, making up 55% of all sales at Fine Wine & Good spirits stores and on-premise locations.
Extensive Network
Across the PLCB's retail network and distribution centers, there are nearly 18,500 wine SKUs (about 70% are luxury wines carried at the larger Premium Collection stores) and nearly 5,800 spirits SKUs, including about 1,400 luxury spirits. "We also offer tens of thousands of special-order products that we don't carry in inventory but make available to customers and licensees from suppliers," Holden says.
The PLCB's product pricing ranges from $4 a 750-ml. of Evan Williams Egg Nog to $12,000 for the 1989 Macallan 21-year-old Cask No. 3247 single malt Scotch. The least expensive wine is Richards Wild Irish Rosé ($4 a 750-ml.), while the most expensive wine is the 2013 Domaine Coche-Dury Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru ($4,000). The PLCB started to intensify its focus on e-commerce even before the Covid-19 public health crisis unfolded. "The pandemic has delayed our plans to introduce a completely redesigned website, but work on it continues, now with the benefit of the recent experience we gained facing technological and fulfillment challenges due to overwhelming demand for online shopping," Holden says.
When considering sites for new units, the PLCB looks for convenient locations with easy access and plentiful parking. Stores are often located in popular shopping centers, near big-box retailers. Other factors include demographics, growth and real estate trends, reports from PLCB personnel, and proximity to other PLCB stores.
The PLCB originally employed a counter-service model, where customers would walk in, tell a clerk behind the counter what they wanted, and wait for the clerk to retrieve the products. Recent developments sparked by the Covid-19 pandemic have conjured up some déjà vû. "Ironically, when instituting our curbside pickup program during the pandemic, we returned to counter service in a way," Holden says.
As the PLCB works to modernize its stores under Holden's leadership, it's installing Taste & Learn Centers to provide in-store education opportunities to guests at Fine Wine & Good Spirits Premium Collections units (Exton, Pennsylvania location pictured).
Discretionary Dollars
As the state's primary retailer of wine and spirits, the PLCB's two main goals are to provide a wide selection of products at fair prices and to make significant contributions to Pennsylvania's coffers. While the PLCB is the state's only spirits retailer, beer and wine retailing competition is intensifying. There are more than 1,200 retailers licensed to sell wine to-go, 1,300 licensed direct wine shippers, 1,200 beer distributors, and about 1,000 breweries, wineries, and distilleries throughout the state. "All of these companies are competing for consumers' discretionary dollars," Holden says. "With so many options for beverage alcohol in Pennsylvania—many of them new within the last four years—we're working to differentiate ourselves and offer unique customer experiences that keep people coming back into stores."
One competitive PLCB strategy is to promote an attractive selection. "When selecting monthly special programs and online-only offers, we consider the product mix, sale price, seasonality, sweepstakes (if offered), and any holidays around which customers would purchase wine and spirits for celebrations," Holden explains. "For flash sales, the main drivers are the supplier-provided discount, cost of product in neighboring markets, and average unit sales. We want products to be popular enough that customers will make a special trip to our store or place an online order."
When considering sites for new stores, the PLCB looks for convenient locations with easy access and plentiful parking (Hanover, Pennsylvania Fine Wine & Good Spirits location pictured).
While it's difficult to make a long-term prediction, Holden notes some trends are likely to continue, including curbside service and social distancing. Limited in-store shopping will continue, as will modified store hours to ensure efficient sanitizing and restocking time.
Customers and employees will continue to wear masks and practice social distancing, guided by signage throughout the stores that also encourages them to refrain from touching products unless they intend to buy them. "Since the pandemic, we've seen tremendous growth in e-commerce sales, but as we've reopened stores to retail sales, we've seen a subsequent drop in demand for online," Holden says. "We anticipate online sales will continue to be popular—probably be more popular than they were pre-pandemic."

Kansas Joins Smart on Juvenile Justice Initiative
The Crime and Justice Institute (CJI) at Community Resources for Justice and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) are proud to announce that Kansas will become the sixth state to be part of Smart on Juvenile Justice: A Comprehensive Strategy to Juvenile Justice Reform.
Kansas joins five states – Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, South Dakota and West Virginia – that have passed comprehensive juvenile justice reform and received assistance from OJJDP and its grantee CJI to support the implementation of their reforms.
Kansas's reform effort began in June 2015 with an 11-month examination of the state's juvenile justice system. State leadership requested that the Pew Charitable Trusts Public Safety Performance Project and CJI provide technical assistance to the Kansas Juvenile Justice Workgroup, which was chaired by Senator Greg Smith and Representative John Rubin, and included 15 other state stakeholders representing all parts of the juvenile justice system.
The Workgroup studied the state's juvenile justice system and related data, and reviewed national research and evidence-based practices as it sought Kansas-specific solutions to the issues confronting the state. The Workgroup submitted a final report and its recommendations to the Governor, legislative leadership, and the Chief Justice in November 2015. The recommendations were drafted into a comprehensive juvenile justice reform bill, known as SB 367, and after two months of legislative hearings the bill passed the House 118-5 and the Senate 40-0.
OJJDP and CJI will now begin providing training and technical assistance to Kansas in the implementation of SB 367, the comprehensive juvenile justice reform legislation adopted in April 2016. The training and technical assistance will be based on the state's priorities and needs.

Tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) and using operations benchmarks to measure your district's performance can yield meaningful results. Monitoring operational efficiency promotes student achievement and effective budgeting.
it can also alleviate potential problems before they start and assist in identifying areas where changes should be made.
School districts can achieve these valuable insights regardless of size. Even small rural districts can learn valuable insights with a user-friendly performance management system.
Uinta County School District No. 1 in Evanston, WY represents a compelling example of how a small school district utilizes KPI tracking with great success. Among many uses, Uinta County leverages KPIs in its Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR), presenting results to the school board and making CAFRs available to business, government, and education leaders, and the public through the local county library.
John Williams, the Chief Financial Officer of Uinta County School District No. 1, uses KPIs to better understand how his district performs in relation to others around the country, and learn where his district can make needed changes.
"We pull the KPI information out to show how departments are doing, how we are trending and how we can make changes," Mr. Williams said.
Mr. Williams actively tracks 68 KPIs across major departments, including technology, maintenance and transportation. Major indicators range from miles between accidents (total number of transportation accidents divided by total miles driven) and average age of bus fleet to custodial workload (the number of square feet a custodian works), and average age of computers.
Since beginning to track KPIs, Uinta School District No. 1 realized positive trends in technology. The average age of the district's computers fell to 3.1 years from 4.6 years between the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years, below the median age of 3.8 years.
Additionally, Mr. Williams and the Uinta School District No. 1 look at custodial workload in a way similar to the Anchorage School District. Mr. Williams examines cost per square foot and cost per employee to identify which schools in the district run efficiently and which might be overstaffed. This analysis gives Mr. Williams vital insight into which areas of the district can be streamlined in the event of budget cuts.
Food service benchmarks also revealed actionable data to Mr. Williams. After reviewing benchmarks, Mr. Williams realized that Uinta School District's cost per meal was much higher than other comparable districts. This realization spurred a discussion about how to improve food service efficiency, with fee structure changes currently under consideration.
Using performance benchmarks can also help your school district track operational trends and lend insight into the best allocation of district resources. Contact us to learn more about how TransACT ActPoint KPI can help your district track and leverage vital operational benchmarks for both financial and student success. Or, download the 2016 Performance Measurement and Benchmarking Report to learn which key performance indicators the leaders in public schools around the nation are measuring to generate the highest impact on their districts.

Using TikTok Videos to Promote Your Restaurant
3 Min Read	 6.26.2020	 By Cristian Stanciu
From share-worthy photos on Instagram to restaurant reviews on Facebook, social media platforms determine how the restaurants engage with the masses.
When we have YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, do brands need another? Yes, not all videos and media platforms are the same – this is a lesson worth knowing. Plus, in this time of COVID-19 crisis, when people's moral and economy is down, restaurants need to step up their video marketing game and engage with their customers more than ever.
TikTok: For the Digital-Savvy Younger Generation
The latest tool to make a splash on the social media scene is TikTok. It's simple, authentic, and innovative. It has millions of internet users – particularly Gen Z – in its palms.
The users have given a huge thumbs-up to TikTok. The social media app has more than 700 million users and the company that created TikTok is now valued at more than $100 billion.
The app allows users to create videos that are 15 seconds or less, add filters and special effects, and share with others to gain instant fame. TikTok has introduced a new trend of brand marketing, which is good news for businesses, especially for restaurants.
On TikTok, the users are not mere consumers of video content. Every user is a potential ambassador for the brand. In response to brand campaigns, users create videos that further spread the message of the restaurants.
Here is how restaurants can promote their brand on TikTok.
The TikTok Lingo: When in Rome …
Businesses new on the platform might not completely understand some of the words used on TikTok. Do not worry; these are neither Klingon nor Elvish. The slang used in the app is popular among young users. Stay long enough on the platform, you'll get used to the TikTok lingo.
For example, a 'Karen' refers to a demanding person. More particularly, a middle-aged person who feels entitled and creates ruckus and demands to see the manager after the slightest inconvenience or for no apparent reason at all. Another common term used on the platform is 'Check'. The term denotes a show-off who boasts about his or her lifestyle.
Many restaurants have already started using the TikTok slang to their advantage. Chipotle has led the way with its 'Less Tok, More Guac' campaign. In its promotional campaign during Halloween, Chipotle encouraged users to create videos with the hashtag #Boorito. Five videos with the most views and likes were awarded free Chipotle for 12 months.
Entertain the Viewers to Create Brand Awareness
Creating brand awareness is the first step to gain more business and building a lasting relationship with customers. For restaurants, getting on TikTok is one of the best ways to gain exposure and create awareness.
Bear in mind that TikTok is about fun, entertainment, and lighthearted content. Restaurants can use authentic videos – content that shows the lighter side of the brand – to engage Gen Z. A clever hashtag campaign that encourages users to create funny and quirky videos will persuade the large TikTok community to get involved.
Another initiative of Chipotle is the #GuacDance for the National Avocado Day. The hashtag challenge asked TikTok users to make videos of their avocado-inspired moves and pair with Dr. Jean's The Guacamole Song. With nearly half-a-million submissions and over a billion views, GuacDance is the highest-performing branded hashtag challenge in the United States.
Campaigns that combine the twin goals of brand awareness and user participation will help restaurants engage with customers during and after the COVID-19 crisis.
Team Up with Social Media Influencers
Chipotle is one of the earliest adopters of TikTok. It had to take the plunge because more than half of its customer base is young folks. It made good business sense; the food brand had to be where its customers spend their time.
The food brand not only relied on user-generated content. To gain acceptance of its young target audience, Chipotle teamed up with TikTok influencers. To promote its #ChipotleLidFlip challenge, the brand worked with David Dobrik. To participate in the challenge, users were asked to flip the Chipotle lid and catch it just above the container. The #ChipotleLidFlip was a huge success with over 100,000 submissions and 300 million views.
As restrictions are gradually lifted by several countries, the world is limping back to normalcy. The restaurant industry is looking at a long and hard road to recovery. Video marketing would help restaurants garner more eyeballs and better brand exposure, which may eventually lead to more customers.

Book; Elephants and Egotists. In Search of Samorn of the Adelaide Zoo. Patricia Sumerling
Samorn, the Adelaide Zoo's last elephant, was adored by generations of zoo visitors. When I was a child a trip to the zoo was never complete without a ride in Samorn's cart. She seemed to love the kids and they loved her. We would put peanuts on the posts which she would pick up in her trunk as she passed by.
A gift from the Thai government in 1956, she was transferred thirty-five years later to Monarto Zoo to live out her days. When she died there in 1994 there was an outpouring of sadness from all who knew or grew up with her.
Elephants and Egotists is a tribute to Samorn, but also tells of other elephants sent to South Australia and the colourful characters who decided their fate. Elephants, particularly those in Southeast Asia, are now a critically endangered species needing our concern and immediate action. As Sir David Attenborough asks: 'The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?'
I'd like to think we know better now, but for those who grew up in a more innocent era, Samorn remains a wonderful memory of childhood days in Adelaide.

The Choice – Episode 0022 – The Prosecution. Introduction to the Prosecution of the Enemy – and My Apologia
Posted by CurtD59
Welcome to The Choice – Episode 0022 – Introduction to the Prosecution of the Enemy – and My Apologia – I'm Curt Doolittle
I research and teach the scientific method, the universal vocabulary grammar and logic of the formal, physical, natural, and evolutionary laws, and the natural law of reciprocity in display, word, and deed.
This program – The natural law – is the completion of the greek, roman, germanic, anglo program. And it re-harmonizes our religion, philosophy, law, science, and mathematics into a single consistent coherent correspondent formal operational logic of the universe. It provides complete explanatory power. Really. And the consequences are as vast as the empirical and scientific revolutions.
My work seeks to solve the great problems of the 20th century, the origins of which in large part are reducible to the most recent counter-revolution against western truth, reason, science, law, markets, adversarialism, and subsequent rate of evolution of european civilization, european people, and a reluctant world that wants nothing of it on the one hand while desperately seeking its proceeds on the other.
While I had worked on artificial intelligence as a means of understanding mankind through most of the 80's, it wasn't until I decided to produce a value-neutral language of ethics and politics to compete with the Jewish left's industrialization of lying, around 1990 – that I began this project. I was terribly ill throughout the 80's and 90's, despite building companies, which made progress difficult. But I discovered Hans Hoppe's work just prior to 2000. And I felt I had found an answer to the problem of value neutral commensurability. By 2006 I had an admittedly terrible first draft. It served the purpose of illustrating just how much I didn't yet know. By 2009 I had a second draft. But it serve to help me u understand that I needed to solve the problem of demarcation between truth, falsehood, and deceit. I'd solved most of those problems by 2014, with a third draft. And by 2016 I had the full outline of the completed work. But it took until about last year to resolve the outstanding issues-particularly religion – and it was only over this past summer's work on evolutinoary history that I felt the project was complete and inescapable as a system of thought dependent entirely on first causes – the formal logic of all the sciences.
Why Do We Need Truth and Universal Decidability
Because the greater our numbers, the greater our scale of cooperation, the greater our division of labor, the more fragmentary our knowledge and information, the more free we are to pursue our individual and group interests, the more divergent those interests, and therefore the more necessity for positive markets for consumption, positive markets for commons, and negative markets we call courts for the resolution of our disputes, and the greater the demand for decidability in our law to both construct those consumptions and commons and resolve those differences. In other words, our law like our logics and sciences incrementally progresses to a single most parsimonious most universal logic and science decidability and universal explanatory power across all fields of human behavior.
But some subjects are more controversial than others. Some evoke differences at the political level, some at the economic, some at the social, and some at the interpersonal, and even some among family members.
The most contentious of those subjects are what we call taboos. But taboos both the most difficult and necessary subjects to resolve. So of necessity, the logic and science of universal decidability will answer those taboos, and those taboos generate the greatest demand for decidability so that societies, and polities and the world can move beyond them.
A taboo is a subject we try not to discuss. Taboos can fulfill one or more of three purposes: in the positive, taboos assist in the normative suppression of human impulses that if satisfied would export costs directly or indirectly, and by that suppression forcing the development of people's agency. In the Neutral, to prevent conflict between individuals and groups that may have similar cooperative interpersonal or market interests but different group, social, economic, and political interests. Or in the negative, to force ignorance in order to conduct a deceit, fraud, theft, parasitism, or predation.
Taboo Breakers Pay A Cost
European people, for accidental historical reasons, deep in pre-history, developed rule of law as their first institution, instead of religion or state. This is the 'first cause' of european civilization. Skipping the underclass religion phase, and the upper-class state phase and developing an upper-middle-class entrepreneurial civilization – the corporation. In the absence of authority only demonstrated interest provides decidability in matters of conflict. The logic of Demonstrated interests is what we call the law of tort. And testimony the method of investigating it. For this reason testimonial speech and military reporting, evolved into the normative language of the people. For this institutional reason and this reason alone, Europeans incrementally discovered, adapted to, and applied the physical, natural, and evolutionary laws of the universe, creating their competitive advantage of initiative, adaptability, maneuver, and technology, despite small numbers and lesser wealth on the edge of the bronze age revolution.
But Socrates was killed for heresy. Aristotle nearly. The Christians used virtue signaling to obtain office, allied to produce political power, and eventually killed or deported the philosophers (the european equivalent of an intellectual priesthood), destroyed the Greco-roman arts and letters, ended roman religion – which wasn't religion as we understand it but an expression of loyalty to the state and the people, one's city, ancestors, the laws of nature, and various natural spirits that were compatible with physical natural and evolutionary laws. The Christians ended literacy and prevented the restoration of the western roman aristocracy, greek and roman reason, and rule of law. They brought about underclass rule. It wasn't until the later middle ages that under primogeniture the church became a holding company for the aristocracy, and the aristocracy used the church leadership as a corporation for non-inheriting sons to manage aristocratic lands. This is what kept the church in check, the people ignorant and servile peasants, and the civilization in ignorance and poverty, during the Semitic Dark Ages of Ignorance. It wasn't the church that rescued Europe from darkness but middle-income northern Italians translating the works of the greeks, returned to Europe by the flight of intellectuals from the middle east as Islam experienced the most recent of its exhaustions and declines and the natural determinism of fundamentalism – meaning law – replaced wisdom literature – meaning advice. And it was the spread of ancient literature through the middle class seeking escape from the corruption of the church that led to centuries of war to escape it.
So like Socrates, Aristotle and the Philosophers, Galileo was imprisoned for breaking a taboo, Darwin reviled for it, and the eugenicists removed from the historical record, and postwar social science converted to sophistry for it. And I expect similar treatment. Because my work is the latest attempt to suppress pseudoscientific, philosophical, legal, economic, political, and theological deceits, and to once again free western civilization and western people to continue their long march to drag mankind out of ignorance, superstition, pseudoscience, sophistry, deceits, conflict, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, and the victimization by a nature, planet, solar system, and universe all but hostile to life.
I love my work but I don't like my job. It's a moral duty and a nearly unbearable personal cost. So some of us must prevail against those taboos that prevent necessary conflict and that in turn prevents the discourse, accusation, prosecution and restitution for informational, social, and political crimes. And instead, to use the truth in discourse to cause conflict to bring about the end to those crimes, so that mankind once again can leap into a future of transcendence rather than continue down the current path to another dark age.
So, I will, and history will judge your reaction to the following argument by whether you are stating it is true or false, or whether you're stating that it's a taboo, or that you merely disapprove. Worse, if you choose taboo or disapproval, and/or some sort of fraudulent argument, then you have by that demonstration selected yourself out of the jury as incapable of juridical decidability, political participation, and selected yourself for prosecution as well.
The only question is whether the argument is true or not. And if it is true then what to do about it.

Background and Overview
The project was born as a joint initiative between the Future Worlds Center, and the Digital Futures. It aims to bring together 24 young people from all across Europe in an attempt to envision, conceptualize and design new models of democratic governance that capitalize on the possibilities offered by contemporary as well as emerging digital technologies. The two-day event will be organized as an interactive co-laboratory, fully utilizing up-to-date methodologies and technologies of the science of structured democratic dialogue. The co-laboratory will take place back-to-back with the Cyprus EU Youth Conference (Cyprus Presidency event) to enable the participation of up to 8 delegates from this youth conference. This builds on the priority of the Cypriot Presidency to address the topic of Youth Participation in democrtic life in Europe as a main priority of the trio PL-DK-CY, adopted by the ministers' meeting in the Council of Education, Youth, Culture and Sport. The results of the co-laboratory will be widely disseminated with the support of the Cyprus Community Media Center, using video clips and modern digital technologies. They will inform the parallel and complimentary efforts of the Cyprus EU Youth Conference, the Digital Futures Task Force and Future Worlds Center to come up with innovative new ideas for reforms and policies that will guarantee authentic youth participation and capitalize on the diverse capabilities offered by emerging future technologies.The project is a part of the activities carried out under the auspices of the Cyprus Presidency.

More Revision of Historical Fact in Ynet News Israel (Poles engaged in slaughter of Jews?)
scorpio 20 | 188
2 May 2008 / #1
In a recent article entitled entitled "When Warsaw cried" by Noah Klieger, two events in Polish history were interpreted incorrectly and exaggerated.
The article states: "Among other things, Peres noted that in the wake of World War II, in the summer of 1946, hundreds of Poles including military and police personnel engaged in slaughter in the Jewish center in Kielce, where more than 100 Jews were brutally murdered. Peres also made note of the 1968 expulsion of about 70,000 Jews."
Until today, the initial instigators and perpetrators of the so called 'Kielce Pogrom" are being investigated by the Polish Institute of National Remembrance. There are 'two' version of the events in Kielce. One states that the pogrom was the brainchild of the Soviet (Russian) authorities during communist run Poland, as a way to discredit Poland. The Soviet's instigated and carefully orchestrated the events to unravel in a way that made it appear as though it were the work of the Poles. The second version, the one embraced by most Jewish historians and Jews alike, is that Polish Catholics attacked and killed Jews in a wild rampage, due to a blood libel rumor. Before any article mentions "Kielce", the author had better mention the 'two versions' of this ugly episode, and not only one until the true version is determined.
In reference to the 1968 expulsion of Jews from Poland, how is the number "70,000" being determined? You can read any history book on thie event and clearly see that it was 20,000 to 35,000 Polish Jews that were expelled from the country by the Soviet dominated Communist government at that time, and not 70,000.
Such articles are spewed out on a daily basis by the media, and people read and then subsequently believe what they read. Such articles must be examined and corrected, for the sake of historical truth.
Oh, I see. The Kielce pogrom was actually the work of Soviet authorities and they forced Poles, at gunpoint, to kill Jews. Just as they did in all the pogroms which followed the first world war.

Harry, enjoy the reading: pogonowski.com/display.php?textid=415 - Iwo Cyprian Pogonowski - The Pogrom of Kielce
PS. I like your sarcasm ;)
polishcanuck 7 | 462
Always whining...
Jews always write about their suffering and blaming others. Why don't Poles write their own articles about Jews siding with the soviets after ww1 to slaughter the polish intelligentsia???
joepilsudski 26 | 1,389
'Kielce Pogrom
Yes, there are different versions of what went on here...but I am going to make to controversial comments, and hopefully they will stimulate discussion: 1) As to Polish 'anti-semitism', this, in fact, existed because many Poles disliked and resented Jews, for many reasons...as for stories of various 'pogroms', all sides of the story must be examined to get a better perspective...2) 'Blood libel' : in fact,
Jewish ritual 'slaughter' of non-Jewish children has gone on for centuries, and still occurs today, in various disguised form...this is an historical fact...now, this practice was carried out by certain 'elite' rabbinical elements, and was not known of, except by rumour, to the majority of the Jewish populace...in other words, certain extremist Jewsih sects engaged in this...for instance, the Chabbad Lubavitch sect, from Lithuania, has engaged in this, through it's dominant 'family', the Schneersons, who were implicated as being ritual slaughterers in a number of cases in Russia, including the famous Beilis case...this practice is called 'shechita' and the ritual slaughterer is called the 'shochet'.
Grzegorz_ 51 | 6,161
Why don't Poles write their own articles about Jews siding with the soviets after ww1 to slaughter the polish intelligentsia???
Simply becouse Jews have much more influence around the world than Poles and any things like that are ridiculed and shown as a proof of "Polish zoological antisemitism".
Jewish ritual 'slaughter' of non-Jewish children has gone on for centuries, and still occurs today, in various disguised form...
You really are a complete and utter fuckwit aren't you?
Why not mention the small fact that the house in Kielce where the Polish boy claimed he'd been held in the basement while the Jews prepared to slaughter him doesn't even have a basement?
Why not mention the small fact that the house in Kielce where the Polish boy claimed he'd been held in the basement
Did you even bother to read the article I posted?
And YOU're gonna write two books about Poland?
Good luck, Poland!
I read the first half of it but it is such bollocks that there is no reason to waste time reading the rest of it. The author is clearly an anti-semite and several cards short of a full deck.
Not going to. Have. Am currently working on the third one.
4 May 2008 / #10
Har, always ready to spread Polonophobia... always ready to twist discussion about Jewish anti-Polonism into "bad, bad Poles"... Oy...
Seanus 15 | 19,706
Greg said it beautifully, the Jews have much more clout and media control than the Poles could ever dream about having.
Maybe u don't see Harry, there has been Jewish revenge. America has allowed certain people to rise to prominent positions and carry out their hateful agendas. Like the Germans, they are powerless to stop these people who have secured power. The Nazis could only be overthrown by force. Who is gonna overthrow the Zionists/Masons and Jesuits? Nobody!! They buy everyone. Hitler didn't do that, he used military apparatus.
BubbaWoo 33 | 3,510
conclusively proving beyond all reasonable doubt that all poles lie and are taught to do so at a young age
LOL, I think not
polishcanuck:
And here we have a prove of Greg's words:
The author is clearly an anti-semite and several cards short of a full deck.
"The need for a good historical atlas describing the history of the Jews in Poland has long been recognized. This carefully researched and well drawn volume will enable students and the lay public to better understand the complex problems of the Polish-Jewish past and of Polish-Jewish relations."
-Anthony Polonsky, Professor of International History at the London School of Economics and Political Science; Professor of Jewish History at Brandeis University
Such a book about Jews in Poland, aplauded by historians can be written ONLY by a person who's "clearly an anti-semite and several cards short of a full deck". So by default any other work is antisemitic as well.
He starts his article as follows:
"On 4th of July of 2006 the catholic people of Kielce in central Poland were again intimidated by the alliance of Jews, liberals and postcommunist. They were humiliated because of the unvailling of a monument which falsely accused their ancestors of having acted as an "infuriated mob" and commited hideous crimes on the same day sixty years on some 40 Jewish victims."
Sounds like the work of somebody who has never studied history because it is the work of somebody who has never studied history (your hero is a marine engineer by training).
He's not a holocaust denier, he's a post-holocaust pogrom denier!
Let us say that pogroms happened exactly as portrayed by Jews...when one person kills another person, say a wife murders her husband, there must be a reason behind this...unless the murderer is a sociopath with no consciousness regarding right or wrong...now, if Poles killed Jews in pogroms, was there a reason?...did Jews do something to provoke such attacks?...this would not justify killing, but would provide some rational explanation...are Poles sociopaths?...are Jews eternal victims being persecuted for no reason or crimes on their part?
eric_the_nave - | 30
Harry, I would have thought that as a historian your job is to review all available material and analyse it objectively. Not to dismiss an opinion after reading a couple of paragraphs because you believe the author is an anti-semite.
The equivalent would be dismissing your books without reading them on the basis that you are clearly anti-polish.
now, if Poles killed Jews in pogroms, was there a reason?...
If? If? Even David Irving doesn't deny that Poles killed Jews in pogroms. But you say "if Poles killed Jews in pogroms". Nice to see how far to the extreme of the right-wing you are.
did Jews do something to provoke such attacks?...
"Jews killed our Christ" is the usual excuse giving for Poles killing Jews and stealing their property.
Harry, I would have thought that as a historian your job is ....
I'm not a professional historian and have never wanted to be.
you are clearly anti-polish.
If I bothered applying for the Polish passport which I am entitled to, I would be Polish. Am I anti-myself?
Is it really?...I have heard that one, but not from Polish people...could it be that Jewish neighbors stole money or property from Poles, or, possibly cheated them some way in business transactions?...you know of course that Polish people loathed Communism, which is a Jewish creation from Marx to Lenin/Trotsky...is there any Jewish hostility towards the Catholic Church or even the person of Christ?...are Jews sin free?...Here is a Jewish saying: Leolam Teckach...I beleive it is Hebrew, maybe Yiddish or a mixture of both...maybe this explains some things?
But, all this being said, Poles and Jews lived in relative peace for many, many years...there are greedy people in every tribe, and sometimes tribes have conflicts...but, looking toward the future, maybe there can be better understanding.
Har, once again typical Polonophobic and anti-Christian garbage portraying Poles as stupid peasants chasing innocent, smart and obviously uber persecuted Jews.
If I bothered applying for the Polish passport which I am entitled to, I would be Polish.
No, you wouldn't be.
Am I anti-myself?
You are obviously Polonophobic and your Polonophobia is so deep and natural (sucked with your mother's milk?) that you probably don't even realize that.
Ah, Poles and Jews love that mother's tit!
What's wrong with tits ?
Harry:
If I had a Polish passport, I would be Polish.
Or is your statement just another example of the casual racism which infests your posts? Do you think that I can never be Polish because I am not Christian enough for you?
Yes, obviously I hate Poland and Poles. That's why out of all the countries I could live and work in, I chose to come to Poland. It's also why I've been living here for more than a decade.
My mother really couldn't give a sh!t about Poland or Poles. She never even thought about the place or the people until I moved here. But it's nice of you to insult my mother anyway, really adds an air of authority to your post.
My 'hero' is an applauded by historians author of many books on history. He provides facts and sources.
The quote above only proves further what Greg had said:
"any things like that [Pogonowski's work in this example] are ridiculed and shown as a proof of Polish zoological antisemitism."
Being entitled to have a Polish passport doesn't mean you ARE Polish.
And you're clearly anti-Polish.
your hero is a marine engineer by training)
And of course your books are ultimate truth, and eveybody who doesn't like them is an antisemite. At the same time, Pogonowski's readers are antisemites, because Ponowski himself isn't a historian (with a degree that is) and is clrearly antisemite.
Your facts - oh, they're so pretty.
His facts - not good, he's not a historian and is an antisemite.
Is that correct, or Am I missing something?
But it's nice of you to insult my mother anyway
Oh, so now you're insulted? Well, well...
Tasted your own medicine and didn't like it? I am surprised.
Being entitled to have a Polish passport doesn't mean you ARE Polish
We have this situation in the USA...for instance, Michael Chertoff, dual Israeli-American citizen is clearly not an American, yet he runs the Dept. of Homeland Security to protect us from terrorism!...this is only one example,
And what, other than a Polish passport, would make somebody Polish? Or do you mean that you think I'm a Jew and in your eyes Jews are unfit to be Polish? Yes, that's probably what you mean.
The gentleman tries to hide Polish responsibility for Polish crimes like the Kielce pogrom. Why would a real historian try to do that?
Historians are unbiased observers of past times. This joker tries to blame everybody except Poles for what Poles did.
Which part of this do you not understand: there was a pogrom in Kielce in 1946, the people do did the killing were Poles.
Even the Polish IPN (not normally noted for loving Jews) dismissed the theory of Soviet inspiration because of "lack of direct evidence and lack of obvious Soviet interest in provoking the events".
A brain, obviously.
I thought that dual passport holders are crossed out compeletly while applying for mere and smallest government position :O
Harry, you're a funny guy, you know that?
you think I'm a Jew and in your eyes Jews are unfit to be Polish
Keep putting words into persons' mouths.
The gentleman tries to hide Polish responsibility for Polish crimes like the Kielce pogrom
This gentleman draws a bigger picture to explain this propaganda.
Way to go, Harry! Bravo.
Insult me, keep insulting others. That only shows how limited you are.
Michael Chertoff, dual Israeli-American citizen is clearly not an American, yet he runs the Dept. of Homeland Security to protect us from terrorism!...this
Why is he not an American? Because he is a Jew?
He was born and has lived all his life in the USA. He qualifies for Israeli citizenship but has never claimed it. His mother, who was born in Poland, emigrated to Israel and worked as a flight attendant for El Al Airlines. Israel's citizenship law of 1952 says: "Any Jew who immigrated to Israel before July 14, 1952, was granted citizenship after declaring a desire to reside permanently in Israel." Furthermore, a "child born on or after July 14, 1952," is an Israeli citizen if "at least one of whose parents is a citizen of Israel, regardless of the child's country of birth."
Do you understand that? Chertoff is a citizen of Israel under Israeli law, not because he chose it. It is simply a fact of his birth.
If you had a brain, you'd realise Chertoff does not hold two passports.
No, because he is a traitor to America & Israel first...that simple...he helped draft the voluminous Patriot Act, which is a blueprint for tyranny worthy of the communists or the Israeli police state...he also released the so-called 'dancing Israelis' who videotaped the destruction of the WTC while dancing the hora on the roof of a New Jersey building, and sent them back to Israel without any open investigation of what they were dancing the hora about...actually, they were part of a Mossad front company...Chertoff is also Mossad...Chertoff is also a partner of another traitor, the Rabbi Dov Zakheim, who was the chief 'fascilitator' for the Mossad attack on 9-11...he was also comptroller of the Pentagon when almost $3 trillion 'disappeared' on his watch... another dual citizen, Representative Rahm Emmanuel, the chief Democratic fundraiser and Congressman from Illinois...both Mossad agents...Emmanuel's father was in on the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem back in 1948...Chertoff's mother was part of Mossad operation 'Magic Carpet' which airlifted Yemeni Jews to Israel back around the same time...she was a 'flight attendant'...both Chertoff and Emmanuel are traitors...Emmanuel specializes in blackmail...talk to Bill Clinton about him.
Chertoff doesn't NEED a particular passport...he can have printed any kind of passport he wants.
^ Put your tinfoil hat back on, the Masonic/Zionist/Jewish/Illuminati secret government can read your thoughts when you aren't wearing your tin foil hat.
Well, they could if you actually ever had any thoughts....

WhatsApp is out front over its parent Facebook in Africa
WhatsApp is getting set to be Africa's biggest payments and ad platform
By Yinka Adegoke June 26, 2018
The ambitions of WhatsApp have remained something of a mystery, even as its reach as a messaging service and as the social media platform of choice for Africans has grown and grown. It has done so without a very obvious business plan and we'd often wondered why.
Then, after the departure of co-founders Brian Action (September) and Jan Koum (April) from parent Facebook, there has been some great reporting (paywall) on the internal tensions over how a desire to protect users' privacy clashed with the goal of commercializing WhatsApp to justify the $22 billion Facebook paid for it in 2014.
WhatsApp's competitive advantage is in emerging markets, where its service almost always works, regardless of internet speed or available bandwidth. It's the world's No.1 messaging service, thanks to users from Latin America to Africa and most of Asia outside China. In these regions, there's intense interest from local businesses that want to see WhatsApp commercialize—they want to be able to use the platform more efficiently to transact with their customers who pretty much live on WhatsApp.
Facebook understands that. "The wave of disruption we'll see from Africa will come from small companies more so than from big corporates," Julien Decot, Facebook's director of platform partnerships for EMEA, said at the MEST Africa Summit in Cape Town, South Africa last week. "It's clear those companies will probably jump directly to WhatsApp to connect to their prospective customers and get their businesses discovered. It's unclear if they'll advertise on Facebook's Newsfeed."

Julien Decot of Facebook speaking during MEST Africa summit
That doesn't mean Facebook thinks African or Asian businesses will never advertise on WhatsApp. It's just taking a step-by-step approach. The first move: creating a WhatsApp Business app for millions of small businesses to reach their customers. The next: "fixing the plumbing" by enabling key services like payments and discovery and then identifying the "underlying business model," Decot explains. "If we connect many millions of consumers with many millions of businesses, at some point the businesses will pay us to get in front of more customers," he said. "We don't have to reinvent the wheel."
You could say if it sounds like advertising and is paid for like advertising, it probably is advertising.
WhatsApp Business has been something of a Trojan horse for the platform's commercial potential. "It's already big, larger than we would have expected, with several million users," he said, declining to reveal specific numbers. He described the total as "already very material" even when viewed in the context of Facebook's 70 million global advertisers.
WhatsApp is documenting business-user behavior in order to optimize for the largest use cases and is particularly focused on the big opportunities in payments and discovery. There could a huge reward for over a billion people to move money around globally and could easily dominate in sub Saharan Africa where it is the default social media platform.
In countries where WhatsApp has gained major market share, central banks and other financial regulators will naturally be concerned about its impact. In India, where WhatsApp has around 200 million users, it has been testing its payments product since February.
"We'll do it here [Africa] too. No matter what, it's a function of how quickly we can get it done. WhatsApp is at a scale where regulation is tricky," said Decot. He confirmed conversations with some African regulators have already started.
A WhatsApp payments product could at once boost and upend the nascent African digital payments sector that fintech startups from Lagos to Nairobi and Cape Town are all working frantically to build. It might be the one time startups reach out to regulators to help protect their future.
While there's no guarantee WhatsApp will be Africa's biggest payments player in the long term, if it is able to navigate the regulatory environment in larger African economies like South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya it would have a significant headstart over local fintech startups still trying to convince both partners and customers to use their services.

The open government laws in Florida are focused on three areas:
Statutory public records↓ (codified at Fla. Stat. secs. 119.01 to 119.15 (1995)),
Statutory public meetings↓ (the Florida Sunshine Law, codified at Fla. Stat. secs. 286.011 to 286.012 (1991)),
Judicial access decisional law↓.

Open records

The Florida Public Records Law states,

The statute expansively defines "public record" to include all

With equal breadth, the law defines "agency" as

A "public record" of an agency is subject to a broad legislated public right of inspection:

Furthermore, Sunshine Review notes that,

Going back to 1905, before the law was formalized, Florida courts have held that it is not up to the government to determine the use to which a person might put public documents once copies are received. [State ex rel. Davis v. McMillan]

Exemptions
The Florida Supreme Court has held that only statutory exemptions from the inspections provision of Chapter 119 may be recognized, Wait v. Florida Power & Light; although courts must give effect to competing constitutional rights where inspection would otherwise compromise them. Florida Freedom Newspapers v. McCrary.

The exact number of statutory exemptions to the open records law is hard to assess, but estimates exceed 200. In response to criticisms that Florida's public records law had been undermined by the many exemptions, the Florida Legislature enacted the Open Government Sunset Review Act of 1995. Fla. Stat. § 119.15. This "Sunset" law provides for the periodic repeal of all exemptions, and mandates periodic review of the specific criteria which should be considered when reviewing the exemptions.

Unless the legislative review demonstrates a compelling interest in retaining a particular exemption that has been enacted and the legislature reenacts the exemption, it is repealed automatically.

The 1995 Sunshine Review Act incorporates the provisions of Section 119.15 as the criteria by which legislators should review Sunshine Law exemptions. Fla. Stat. § 286.0111. Under the 1995 Act, an exemption must fit within one of three categories of identifiable public purposes, and must be seen as compelling enough to override the strong presumption of openness articulated in Fla. Stat. § 119.15(2).

Since the Sunshine Review Act, the legislature has exhibited a resolve to streamline exemptions, allowing confidentiality only to the extent necessary to protect important competing values.

Open meetings

Judicial access decisional law

Similarly, access to judicial records and proceedings has been broadly granted by Florida courts.

The Streetly Academy and Future First
Vicky O'Connor, careers lead at The Streetly Academy, talks about their partnership with Future First.
I was brought in to The Streetly Academy to lead on the careers programme within the school; the head and SLT are very passionate about raising the aspirations of the pupils and wanted to improve their current careers programme by having someone who was dedicated to this full time. Before I came in to the school the provision was quite ad-hoc and minimal, whereas now the careers programme is implemented across all year groups and events and activities are scheduled frequently across the year.
I began by creating a questionnaire to find out what the goals and aspirations were of our pupils, we then used the answers to map out what kind of careers provision we would need. We cater to the aspirations of the students through their own responses and needs and we track this across the school. We've seen that goals and aspirations are a lot higher in year 7 and then dip in year 9 and 10. Based on the way that this programme is catered to the goals of the students, we then address these 'dips' in aspiration/goal setting through more specific intervention and activities.
I want to make sure that as well as thinking about their grades and how important they are, that the pupils get a chance to see how these are important within the wider context of jobs and careers.
One of the main reasons that I chose to work with Future First is that alumni can provide direct relevance to the students. With an alumni speaker the pupils are given a link to what they're saying as they know this person had been sat in their seat, in their position. Alumni provide more ways for pupils to believe in themselves.
Using the alumni portal has been a much easier way of engaging and sustaining our alumni network; in previous roles I'd worked with alumni before, mostly using spreadsheets and my own database of alumni information. Future First have made it easier to contact alumni, we don't have to manually input any data, it's easier and safer to use when we engage our alumni community.
We have a lot of events planned in the coming year where we know our alumni will be brilliant role models for our students; for our year 7s we'll be running a 'The Apprentice' style event where we want our alumni to act as judges. We'll be having Future First in to lead an event called 'What is The World of Work Like' for our year 8s which will go through key skills and information about choosing and entering into a career, as well as Year 9 option days where we'll be having our alumni in to speak about each subject and its relevance to their jobs, so that we can link the curriculum to potential career paths. As well as these events we've got CV workshops, mock interviews, and careers speaker sessions where alumni will get a chance to talk about their careers for students unsure of what their paths might be.
Working with Future First so far we've really appreciated how easy it's going to be to keep track of our students as they go on to get jobs or go into further study after finishing their exams. We'll be able to keep track of what our students go on to do. We want to build a community from this, so that we can keep in touch and keep that connection with students who are at The Streetly Academy now and in the future.

Asked if the Prime Minister was comfortable that RBS, Lloyds and HBOS run businesses that helped people avoid tax, the Prime Minister s Spokesman (PMS) replied that detailed questions about issues relating to these specific banks should be addressed to the Treasury.
Asked for any information on the agenda for tomorrow s European Council, the PMS replied that clearly the main issue for discussion at the summit tomorrow would be the economy and the financial situation. The Eurozone plus the UK met on Sunday, we announced our detailed implementation yesterday, a number of Euro-area countries announced their detailed plans yesterday, so no doubt there would be a discussion with the other non-Euro members of the European Union about how they were taking things forward and how we could come to a common European Union position. But as the Prime Minister was saying this morning, this was not only about what he described as the first stage of stabilisation. We also needed to move discussion to the next stage, which was about how we reformed the international financial architecture to try to ensure that similar episodes did not happen again.
Asked if the Prime Minister was hoping that the EU would endorse his suggestion for a new global market structure and a new Bretton Woods conference, the PMS replied that the Prime Minister tomorrow would be talking about the five principles for reform of the financial system that he talked about in his speech yesterday, and talked about this morning in his briefing with foreign press. These were how we could enhance transparency and integrity of the system, how we could enhance responsibility among decision makers in the financial sector, how we could strengthen and have sound banking practice, and how we could improve international coordination. These were the five principles around which we were trying to seek agreement, and there would not doubt be some discussion of some of the detailed measures that might follow from those principles.
Asked what we were looking for in an outcome, the PMS replied that clearly we would first be looking to get agreement on a common European position on the existing stabilisation measures. The discussion so far has only involved the Euro-area and the UK, and there were a number of other significant countries and economies that needed to be included as part of that discussion. But secondly, the Prime Minister would be looking to have a substantive discussion about the reforms needed for the next stage, around some of the principles that need to guide our approach to the next stage, and what some of the processes might be that follow.
Asked on the Bretton Woods issue if the Prime Minister would be hoping to see some kind of process and a get together on this front this side of Christmas, the PMS replied that clearly it was important that we were able to demonstrate to the public and to markets that we were making progress on the next stage, and therefore the sooner we were able to reach agreement on substantive measures at international level the better. At the same time it was the Prime Minister s view that there would clearly need to be some preparation before a leaders meeting took place so that there could be proper substantive and agreement at such a meeting.
Asked at what sort of level these discussion would be held at, the PMS replied that in a way that was part of the discussion going forward, and we would not necessarily envisage the discussion only being in one forum. It could easily be a discussion that affected different countries in different ways and therefore it was possible that a number of different fora might want to discuss this. For completeness the PMS informed Lobby that the Prime Minister had spoken about the financial situation and the way forward to the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, and to President Bush this afternoon, where President Bush updated the Prime Minister on the US announcement earlier today.
Put that the Prime Minister said this morning that the coming days would be crucial, and that surely this would actually take quite a bit of time, the PMS replied that there were a number of stages. Clearly there were announcements that had been made today in the US after the Prime Minister gave his press briefing this morning, and there were issues for Europe in relation to the short term in relation to the first stage that would need to be addressed at the European Council. But we also need to have a discussion about how we move to the next stage, and that was what we would also be seeking to do at the European Council tomorrow and Thursday.
Put that the Government was paying for the bail-out through borrowing, and asked from who we would be borrowing the money from, the PMS replied that normally the Government would issue gilts into the gilts market, and whoever wanted to buy those gilts would buy them.
Asked on the Prime Minister s comments this morning if he hoped that banks that were not receiving Government support would also adopt the same kind of lending to small businesses and homeowners that he wanted to see, the PMS replied that we had made specific arrangements directly with the banks that had received funding from the Government. We had not reached similar agreements with banks that had not received capital from the Government. His understanding of what the Prime Minister was talking about this morning was a more general comment about the need to see more responsibility in the financial system, and in particular more responsible risk taking in the financial sector, and that was clearly something that affected all financial institutions, not just those in receipt of Government funding.
Asked if the Prime Minister was cheered by the fact that we now may not have to buy as much of RBS as we thought, the PMS replied that we would not be commenting on the Government s intentions in relation to purchases of bank stocks. If we did it would be through a stock exchange notice in the normal way.
Asked if the Prime Minister was pleased by the reaction he was receiving around the world for this rescue plan, the PMS replied that the Prime Minister was focusing on doing everything he could to help families and businesses in this country. That was why we took the far reaching action that we had taken in recent days, and that was why we continued to work with our international partners in order to see how we could continue to reform the financial system. Ultimately that was what this was all about helping people in this country who were concerned about their savings, or about getting a mortgage, or about small businesses trying to start their business. That was what the Prime Minister was focusing on.
Put that the Prime Minister s mood must have been better than in recent days, given the reception he was given earlier by the Foreign Press Association, the PMS replied that what was motivating him was the desire to do everything he could and ensure the Government was doing everything it could in order to help the country get through this difficult period.
I have read and listened with interest about Gordon Brown's and the EU's committment to help SME's.
I am a small company (of one)and cannot get any help whatsoever in ensuring my business stays afloat.
I apparantly live in a 'affluent' area – although I am by no means affluent.
From what I see, if you are a big company, well known etc, you can get all the help that is available.
Do you not realise that it is little people like me that are trying to keep things ticking over – and that one day – with the right kind of help – we will become the bigs guys who then go on to help other little people.
Could you guys ask Flash Gordon (a) where the £500bn is coming from. Borrowing? If so, which banks? (b) what he intends to do to neutralise the threat posed by the CDS &c? Is he confident that the legal status of all these special instruments is beyond question?
