Here and Now will be a blog devoted to my thoughts and, I hope, the thoughts of others on what it is like to live in the world, specifically the UK, here and now.
Some of the issues I will be airing in Here and Now are:
# The ?target culture? - how it is destroying public services.
# ?Big is ugly? ? the increasing inability of large organisations (commercial or political) to have a positive impact on the lives of individuals and communities.
# ?Untruth? ? call it spin, call it hypocrisy, or call it lies. I will seek to address the role of untruth in the here and now.
This may sound very negative but I will also try to identify some positive means of addressing these issues:
Can we rediscover trust as an antidote to the target culture?
Can we think ?small?, think ?local?, and think ?network? as a way of overcoming the negative effects of large organisations?
Dare we face up to difficult truths as a way of overcoming untruth?
