Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Please note that our events on January 23rd and February 6th are oversubscribed and I’ll be in touch with everyone who’s expressed an interest in attending the event on the 6th, over the coming week.The social impact of participation in culture and sport inquiry
The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee
A new inquiry has been launched. The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee is to investigate ways in which taking part in the arts, cultural activities and sport can have a positive impact on health, community and education.
Participation in culture and sport has a proven link to a wide range of benefits. The Committee is expected to focus on five major themes, taking evidence on social mobility, health, crime reduction, education, community engagement and diversity. The legacy of the Olympics may also be considered as part of the inquiry. The Committee is keen to hear from specific case studies of success. There is no single cross-Government strategy of support for this work – alongside funding from Arts Council England and other government bodies, projects are largely run by charities and private organisations. Often projects are delivered in isolation rather than in partnership with public bodies which could extend their reach and influence. The inquiry would seek to draw the Government’s attention to the importance of these activities and ‘join up’ currently separated departmental efforts. Full details are available HERE.

In Other News......two boated self-styled eugenicists have hit the headlines. MP Ben Bradley has been appointed Vice Chair of the Conservative Party and the PM's youth tsar - and Toby Young has bowed to public pressure and resigned from The Office for Students.
"It’s horrendous that there are families out there that can make vastly more than the average wage, (or in some cases more than a bloody good wage) just because they have 10 kids {...} Sorry but how many children you have is a choice; if you can’t afford them, stop having them! {...}vasectomies are free."
Toby Young has a well-honed pedigree for his breed of provocations and self-publicity and he wrote in a conservative Australian journal only two years ago, “My proposal is this: once this technology [genetically engineered intelligence] becomes available, why not offer it free of charge to parents on low incomes with below-average IQs?” to address “the problem of flat-lining inter-generational social mobility.”
Great to see this conjoining or politics and free speech...
