A playlist explaining the state of play

Here's the clip with Tony May (10th May) giving an update on the play:
Initially I was going to create a short playlist of background stories to the play; but then it just grew and grew! The playlist can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vgug2fO8wj4&list=PLD314479C4D9934B8&feature=plpp_play_all

Banksy in St Leonards and Jerwood Gallery in Hastings: art, consent and community development;

Comments below please! (Then book your place for the drama on the 2nd Anniversary of the Pier fire that addresses questions such as: 1) The Pier Fire & 2) The Jerwood Gallery; what have we learned about community development from these initiatives? & which has had a greater positive effect on regeneration. Some regeneration makes us poorer as a society -widening the gaps between us, contributing to unhappiness. http://agoodweek.info) What is the ultimate regeneration project that builds inclusivity, keeps the cost of living low in St Leonards, and enables us to be better equipped for the future with the ability to live from our higher values? Is it "The Walking Buddhas of SE England" http://love-statues.blogspot.co.uk ****** And here is the non-exploitation plan:

The intended play has been postponed to the 3rd anniversary -so save Saturday October 5th 2013 in your diary now!


The playlist referred to is this one: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL669CB0C39971BB15 ********

THE EARLIER PLAN (April/May 2012) was as follows; this format is now more likely to be applied in a future event at the Stables Theatre -2013/2014?

This play will be reviewing some of the biggest stories in Hastings & St Leonards over the last two years and holding some of the key players to account.
In relation to each of these three major local changes, the same question will be put:
FROM THIS CHANGE, WHAT HAVE WE, AS A COMMUNITY, LEARNED ABOUT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT EG WHO HOLDS THE POWER/REAPS THE BENEFITS/IGNORES THE WISHES OF OTHERS AND HOW WE EMPOWER ALL MORE FULLY IN SHAPING THE FUTURE OF OUR LOCALITY:

1. Hastings Pier Fire (5th October 2010); arguably the start/ missed opportunity to start the regeneration of the local community by engaging appropriately with those known to have been on the pier that night. (For background and full reports, exploring a range of mediation approaches etc http://sussexcommunity.blogspot.com)
2. The Jerwood Gallery -opened March 2012
3. The St Leonards TownTeam (Community Planning) developments of 2012, with Hastings Borough Council backing and involving Gensing & Central St Leonards (Forum) in particular

“The Walking Buddhas of SE England → Love Statues of St Leonards” is play by “Paul Crosland, the famous playwright” (Google it) being performed on the second anniversary of the Hastings Pier Fire (for which two St Leonards residents were arrested but neither were they prosecuted or their names revealed through official channels).

The play being performed first on 5^th October 2012 (with additional dates planned) can still be shaped by you and by any films you record for YouTube Channel Toothpaste007, or comments that you make there: (http://www.youtube.com/Toothpaste007 )

The play will include 8 minute live conversations with key individuals about a selection of the following 8 themes, culminating in an interview with Jeremy Birch, Leader of Hastings Borough Council (or his substitute) about the values being upheld in the development/regeneration of our town(s).

Local community (re)generation themes:
1) The ongoing loss of justice in relation to those known to have been on the pier on the night of the fire & the consequences of not resolving this to the satisfaction of the community?
2) What difference the Jerwood Gallery is making, or will -in time- make to Hastings, and whether there is harm to be addressed here too?
3) What "St Leonards Love Statues" could do for "St Leonards" in the way that Anthony Gormley statues eg "The Angel of the North" have done for their local areas?
4) How to stop developments squeezing out much that we value here?

5) How we can best address social exclusion and the roots of social unrest?

6) “Sustainable Local Futures” - in the new world economic order, undertaking the transition to a local economy that is more independent of world shocks?

7) “The amazing wealth of original, talented young people ,numerous local, high profile events and projects” promoted by The Respond Academy, amongst others?

8) "Ethical Outings in Hastings & St Leonards" (in relation to Arson etc) & what role we play across all generations in "character building" and taking responsibility, rather than letting things get worse.

Either we take responsibility for our communities and the things that upset us or things will get worse; there's simply no other choice?

From the above “Local community (re)generation themes” please vote for the 4 themes of greatest concern to you via the left-hand side of http://love-statues.blogspot.com

Extrapolating from MPs expense scandals & Bankers Bonuses' scandals

Ethical Outings is expanding as a business. Now it includes:
1) Outing people who make money that doesn't correspond to the work they put in.
2) Outing anyone who breaks the principle of valuing everyone's time equally and by so ignoring this principle creates a less-happy society.
3) Outing assets owned above the average
4) Requesting people to hand over to the community the decision about the market price for sale of houses.

What are we going to do to take responsibilty in Hastings/St Leonards for some of those forgotten -yet crucial- 500,000 families in the UK?
Overview of everything at http://additionalinfo.blogspot.com

Billy Bragg and The Blokes - "NPWA"

"No Power Without Responsibility" is the call for accountability here.
If you hold power or status -& few in the Western World do not:
1) How did you get your power?
2) What do you do with it?
3) How can we share (or take) that power from you (if you use it in a way that is "unjust")?

These questions are all relevant to the concept of ethical outings; opening up the ethical questions around what people are not divulging openly; despite the harm they may be causing...

Does anyone think this outing -ie the sharing of a secret recording- unethical?

Cameron's man Cruddas - cash for access to PM scanda:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcTZjqn8MwM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

And how about the 26th March turnaround in initially saying that any release of the names of private guests by the PM was not to happen and, by lunchtime then releasing those details -which was presumably a breach of the implicit agreements that the visitors had that their visits for dinner at 10/11 Downing St were private. I'm left asking "Is there no-one that David Cameron is not ready to out in order to save his political skin?"

Outing can be ethical or otherwise

- you decide.

Thank you for opening this much to the discussion of who holds who accountable for their actions in what way.

I can hardly recommend enough Billy Bragg's song "N.P.W.A." - No Power without responsibility!

******* In this video below I refer again to Peter Cruddas -no one has questioned the ethics of filming him and outing how money buys influence:

Which Ethical Outings are invasions of privacy?

WARNING: LONG SENTENCE AHEAD! As I'm exploring the ethics of outing people in general, and the Hastings Pier "arsonists" in particular, this invasion of privacy case in Germany of two Dutch Journalists who used a hidden camera to film an interview with ex-Waffen SS's Heinirich Boere which led to his conviction within the last couple of years, aged 90, to go to prison (hospital) I have found fascinating: http://video.nytimes.com/video/2012/02/06/world/europe/100000001330783/an-interview-with-jelle-visser.html

Ethical Outings in Hastings -Southwater Road Resident

HPWRT CHAIR, Ray Chapman, appeals to those who were on the pier on 5th October 2010 to communicate via eg YouTube or more privately via http://peoplesjustice.org.uk

Here's a meeting with the director of Action for Happiness, Mark Williamson, showcasing & discussing how Hastings & St Leonards have set a lead in a wide-range of Action for Happiness related projects; including developing community understanding and healing in the aftermath of the pier fire:

A Good Week in June 2011
Are those who use the station in the early morning friends now that I see them each morning when leafleting? It's beginning to feel that way. Being friendly gets friedliness back. It's not rocket science, this happiness.
And here's the chair of the Hastings Pier & White Rock Trust:





Ethical Outings & Restorative Justice
"Ethical Outings" is firstly a drama. It's first performance in Hastings & St Leonards in 2012 will promote the "St Leonards Sharing" Timebank, & you will be able to attend on the basis of owing an equal number of hours to the timebank i.e. two and a half. Secondly, you can trade hours of doing what you like to do (& others like to have) in order to attend a guided tour of St Leonards and Hastings -with added ethics.

Why not now try?: - "St Leonard's Sharing"

Cameron says shop an illegal

Would you?

"No-one likes a rat"

"No-one likes a rat" & yet I've heard that "intelligence-led policing" is key to the future of this end of the criminal justice system. Surely the community justice system will also be "intelligence-led"? A community justice system that depends entirely on unsolicited confession will surely be very limited. Hence my interest in Restorative Justice has moved on over the last 20 years and now incorporates "Ethical Outings".

The Play is the Thing

"The Play is the thing wherin I'll catch the conscience of the King" (HAMLET)

And so, having announced the first venue for the play, offers are welcome for venues for further performances of "The Walking Buddha of South East England (AKA Ethical Outings Around Hastings Pier).

http://imperfectidealist.blogspot.com/2011/12/sharing-big-plan-for-next-6-months.html

"If the King is Righteous His Subjects Will be Righteous"

1. Once the Lord addressing the Almsmen said:
2. "Bretheren during such time as kings are unrighteous their ministers and officers also become unrighteous. The ministers and officers, bretheren, being unrighteous, Brahmins and householders also become unrighteous. The Brahmins and householders, bretheren, being unrighteous, the town-folk and villagers become unrighteous.
3. "But whenever, bretheren, kings are righteous, then kings' ministers and officers also become righteous. Whenever Brahmins and householders become righteous, the town-folk and villagers also become righteous.
4. "When cattle are crossing, if the old bull swerves, they all go swerving, following his lead. So among men, if he who is reckoned chief walks crookedly, the others crooked go.
5. "Similarly, the whole realm suffers when the king goes wrong. When cattle are crossing, if the bull goes straight they all go straight because his course is straight. So among men, if he who's reckoned chief walks righteously, the others live aright. The whole realm lead happy lives when kings are good."

Learning to do community justice, process our grievances and harmonise.

Sooner or later we "MUST" learn to do community justice, process our grievances, share our resources and harmonise. I write MUST, but there is an alternative; which is to succumb to the much more painful alternatives in the fight for resources in a world with a large social justice deficit, financial deficit and sustainability deficit. Learning to do community justice, process our grievances and harmonise might well start with the work around Hastings Pier and it was a pleasure for Mediation Support Ltd to receive the HPWRT commissioning of a "harmonisation policy" for how the trustees work together. This policy will be published soon for use within your organisations and your wider contact with others too.

Paul

Evening Standard on Snitching

- From 26th January 2011; interesting food for reflection on how we (as a society) might consider respecting whistle-blowers more carefully.

"I thought Ethical Outings was a TOUR"

Comments on Facebook have come in: along the lines "I thought Ethical Outings was a TOUR & now you're saying it's a play" (Confused of St Leonards).

MY REPLY:

Yes, there is an ambiguity in the new MEDIATION SUPPORT LTD trading name "Ethical Outings". There are two products so far: 1) Ethical Outings - the tours of StLeonards / Hastings (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks8wwbjfsW4&feature=youtube_gdata_player) & 2) "Ethical Outings in Hastings" - the (revealing) play being put on for the 2nd anniversary of the pier fire. They feed each other & for the wider UK audience, the same play is planned as a TV drama with the name "The Walking Buddha of South East England". Clearer? Clear enough?

The Hastings Amnesty for 5 Pier 'Arsonists' fessing up"

The Hastings Observer Front Page Headline I'm working towards is "Next week will include a 60 Second Amnesty for 5 Pier 'Arsonists' fessing up". (Talk to me or my colleagues for more details, as I will be cautious in putting details on Facebook.) More background info than most people can cope with is at http://ethicaloutings.blogspot.com & http://additionalinfo.blogspot.com

Tel 0780 70 66 202 for more connection than an e-mail; I'll probably have the spare minutes to call back.

Thesedays I'm not so interested (as I used to be in 2011) in taking any co-ordinating role. Hopefully someone will find something on a blog of mine that leads them to want to have a conversation and from there we can set the ball rolling no doubt.
