What is the real culture of this city, and where should the money be going for C

David Green | 27.07.2003 12:45 | Liverpool

Just wondered - cos of the debate of 'Liverpool City of Culture'
intrested in presenting an argument forward about where the we think the money should be going for Objective One and City of Culture.

If people have ideas - then I would like to present something - a postivie suggestion of what should be promoted and where in theory should all this EU and culture money be going to.

Where the money belongs

27.07.2003 16:42

The money belongs to the places from where we have historically systematically plundered.
The economically developing (or f*cked by us to be precise) need our money or better the abolition of the usury that enables us to f*cking waste/detract antother IMC-UK post opportunity.

Maybe IMC-Liverpool is a more fitting place but my point about donating the ill gotten money to a country and its people where pigs do not benefit stands. My recommendation will be Iraq , where we have bombed for 12 years continously.Alternatively remember A-F-G-H-A-N-I-S-T-A-N?

City of Culture

28.07.2003 12:17

Hi Ram
I understand that - and dishing back stuff to the genuine people that truly built the society we live in. But I was mainly asking for point by point. In Liverpool The whole City of Culture bid was engineered by the saem spongers and parasites who have been creaming evreything under Objective one. SO as part of an article I am intrested in writing I would like to put for an alternative suggestion - that can be a sort of a programme to challange the city council etc etc.
Cheers for the comments

money is not the problem

28.07.2003 14:42

The main problem is not where the money should go, but a complete re-think from above about their role in administering change. People cannot be shoved into appropriate boxes to suit bureaucratic needs. Their only rule should be to facilitate change, which means encouraging people to educate and train themselves with skills that fit their own ambitions.

There are two reasons why this won't happen unless we pressure them; one is that there is an element of losing control over people, the second is that they have to justify themselves over a short period of time and the kind of change that needs to happen cannot be quantified in that time.

I think it is probably too late to worry about where the ciy of culture money will go, most of it will be corporate investment anyway so we definitely won't see it. The main effort should be in setting up as many independent events and organisations designed to provide for people away from the hand-out merry-go-round as possible. It is then a question of pressure from below demanding change.
