Indymedia - Liverpool can has an impact offline

Kai Andersen | 19.02.2004 11:23 | Culture | Indymedia | Social Struggles | Liverpool

A reply to my posting on the Picket Venue here has helped to get a reply in letter form, I sent a letter to the 'The Peoples Centre' in December and I've just received a reply in letter form, which surprised me and it seems I've rattled some people which I have record of doing.

I include the letter reply, as sent to me as secretary of Socialist Labour Party Liverpool - West Derby Constituency. (This is not a promotion or advertisement of said party)

The posting referred to in the letter can be seen at the bottom of the next weblink

18th February 2004

Dear Kai Andersen

Re-location of the People's Centre

Thank you for your letter regarding the above. I not that this is also the same that appeared on the indymedia website dated 4.2.2004 in which you appear not to expect a reply - you will appreciate, I hope, the difficult situation we find ourselves in and I hope that you take the time to read this FULL explanation.
Incidently, your letter on the website, makes certain comments against Communities Against Poverty, whose officers are members of the People's Centre management committee. It would be improper for me to comment on your views about CAP so I have passed your comment on. However, I do think it is important you are corrected on the following - Communities Against Poverty have ong since moved out of the city's business district (your description), and now operate out of the BNENC Neighbourhood Office, Breakfield Road North.

Now, to the matter of the People's Centre, I am writing this letter on behalf of the President of the People's Centre and the Council of Management to set the record straight over our proposed re-location. In order to do this I intend to deal with 5 matter:

1. The current situation
* Funding
* Building
2. The financial situation
3. The Save the Picket Campaign
4. Future Prospects - relocation not closure
5. Conclusion

I won't reproduce the entire 10 pages of the letter including the report. But I like the final line "With apologies to Karl Marx, the object of the Centre is to change the world, not maintain it in its current form."

I'll add my comment in an additional posting.
