PUBLIC NOTICE QUESTI ONS: MED SOC PANEL AND SECONDARY SCHOOL PLACES (All Wards) (Report No. 114/11-12) Public Notice Question Tabled Addendum Report: – Save Children’s Services Deputation: reduction in opening hours for Adventure Playgrounds and One O’Clock Clubs submitted by Andrew Tullis, UNISON Convenor Lambeth CYPS The Chair invited Andrew Tullis from UNISON to address the Sub- Committee. On behalf of other members of the deputation he made the following points:- • That UNISON had warned the council regarding their failings in its functions in crime prevention to address the provisions of children and young people. • He felt that the Sub-Committee needed to consider: o The impact and consequences of the cuts in services for children and young people that had already been made o The further cuts imposed for Phases 3 and 4 o How young people would spend their time when youth workers were dismissed by the council o Where children will play now that Adventure Playgrounds were only opened once a week o The impact on parents, carers and childminders regarding reductions in opening times of the One O’Clock Clubs o The co-operative council and early adopters as no evidence existed to suggest that service users and staff wanted the co-op council model. A parent also addressed the Sub-Committee outlining his concerns regarding the reduced opening hours of the One O’Clock Clubs in his area as others were located further away. He felt that would have a long-term affect on children. Councillor Pete Robbins, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People responded as follows:- • That the council had not failed in its duty pertaining to the riots. • The vast majority of young people were ambitious and worked hard at school. • The council wanted to listen to the views of young people and a Youth Summit had been organised for September. • That One O’Clock Clubs were open 3 days per week. • Adventure Playgrounds were open full-time during school holiday periods. • The co-operative council early adopters programme had Page 3 been designed to make improvements to the Adventure Playgrounds. • Following the funding cuts by made central government, the council had no choice but to impose cuts. The Chair thanked Andrew Tullis and other members of the deputation for attending. Public Notice Question PNQ.11.12.005 submitted by Simon Hooberman Simon Hooberman was present at the meeting and asked for the MEDSOC issues he raised in his circulated paper, to be considered as part of the Sub-Committee’s Work Programme. The Divisional Director, Education Estates and Capital Projects Division responded that the points raised would be reviewed as part of the upcoming general review into admissions and a meeting held with Simon Hooberman to discuss the issues. An update on the outcome of the review would be presented to the Sub-Committee in January 2012. Members made reference to the MEDSOC Outcome Letter and felt that the letter needed to be more clearly worded. Public Notice Question PNQ.11.12.006 submitted by Councillor Peter Truesdale Councillor Peter Truesdale was present at the meeting and stated that he was happy with the written answer on the agenda and did not want to ask a supplementary question. However, he still had concerns regarding the disposal of school sites. RESOLVED : (1) That the deputation and questions be noted. (2) That an update on MEDSOC panel issues to be reported back CYPS/BSF to the Sub-Committee in January 2012. 4. FORMER SHELLEY/OLIVE SCHOOL S ITE PROPOSED DISPOSAL (Prince’s Ward) (Report No. 119/11-12) The report was presented by the Cabinet Member for Children and Young People (Councillor Peter Robbins). He stated that due to a number of reasons including the shortage of school places, the increase in late applications that had been submitted and the difficulty in finding even temporary locations for additional classes, a decision had just been made to choose option Page 4 4 and remove the Shelley site from the current disposal list.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • Striking Back Against Racist Violence in the East End of London, 1968–1970 Stephen Ashe, Satnam Virdee and Laurence Brown
    RAC0010.1177/0306396816642997Race & ClassAshe et al. 642997research-article2016 SAGE Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore, Washington DC, Melbourne Striking back against racist violence in the East End of London, 1968–1970 STEPHEN ASHE, SATNAM VIRDEE and LAURENCE BROWN Abstract: This article tells the hitherto untold story of how different Pakistani organisations mobilised in response to racist violence and harassment in the east London Borough of Tower Hamlets (1968–1970). In telling this story, the authors analyse the problematic nature of official and public understandings of, and responses to, racist violence, and how it distorted the lives of racialised minorities. Drawing on original archival research carried out in 2014, this piece identifies the emergence of two distinct political repertoires from within the Pakistani community: the integrationist approach and the autonomous approach. The integrationist approach involving the Pakistani Welfare Association (PWA) and the National Federation of Pakistani Associations (NFPA) tried to address the problem through existing local state ‘race relations’ apparatuses and mainstream political channels, while at the same time re-establishing consent for the police as the agents of law and order. In contrast, a network of Black Power groups, anti- imperialists and socialists led by the Pakistani Progressive Party (PPP) and the Pakistani Workers’ Union (PWU) challenged both the local political leadership and the authority of the police in Tower Hamlets, while also undermining the stereotype of Asian people as ‘weak’ and ‘passive’. In recovering this lost Stephen Ashe is Research Associate at the Centre on Dynamics of Ethnicity (CoDE), University of Manchester. Satnam Virdee is Professor of Sociology at the University of Glasgow and Deputy Director of CoDE.

  • The Sex Pistols and the London Mob
    The Sex Pistols and the London Mob Michael Ewen Kitson Doctor of Philosophy University of Western Sydney, 2008 From my point of view it’s got nothing to do with music. And you could build up a whole thesis just on that thing. Marcus Lipton MP Johnny Rotten? Sid Vicious? Aren’t they characters from a Dickens novel? Kenny Rogers, country music singer1 1 Barry Cain, 77 Sulphate Strip, Ovolo, Cornwall 2007: p.101. Thank you to my brother Max for your hospitality in London and generous assistance (financial and intellectual); to my father Michael for unstinting encouragement and for our regular Tuesday meets; to my mother Jill for your support and excellent editorial advice; thank you to Sally Joy for her many gifts; to Dr Linda Hawryluk for your friendship; to David Brazil, Tyswan Slater, daughter, Kahlila, and Briana McLean who all welcomed me into your extraordinary lives and kept me from loneliness in the mountains’ Blue. Finally, thank you to Gary Scott and Eva Kahans, Michael Francis and especially you, Joe – who never failed to remind me that a PhD was a very boring subject for discussion with a five-year old. For the punks I’ve known: Cressida, Josh, Ken, Sean and Matt, John and Shane, and A.J. I wish to warmly acknowledge the invaluable assistance of Dr Jane Goodall, whose wit and humour combined with infinite patience, transformed my ideas and tested my theories, while Dr Glen McGillivray’s eye for the whole, combined with his detailed editorial advice, saw this thesis become the thing it is.

  • Media Coverage of the Punk Music in the United Kingdom in the Late 1970S
    1.3. “God Save the Queen”. Media coverage of the punk music in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s. Martin Husak 1 Abstract The article analyses the press coverage of Sex Pistols from May to December 1977after the release of their single ‘God save the Queen’ using the comparison of broadsheets and tabloids as represented by The Times and The Daily Mail articles. The examination of newspaper approach to Sex Pistols helps to reveal ‘meaning making’ figures as were intentionally used by journalists in order to shape ideological and aesthetical framework of punk music within the capitalist marketplace. Keywords: Sex Pistols, God Save the Queen, punk, media coverage, hegemony. Introduction The purpose of this article is, in large part, to explore the media’s approach to alternative music culture in capitalist society, focussing on the example of the media‘s portrayal of the Sex Pistols after the May 1977 release of their single ‘God save the Queen’ through content analysis of British newspapers. As far as the field of culture is always a site of ideological struggle, (Hull in Samuel, 1981) then the media is a terrain that reflects and then reinforces its echoes. Media helps to maintain social reproduction of dominant ideology as an arbiter of both ideological and cultural significance (Frith, 1983). Sex Pistols are a case in point, showing the transferability of alternative music into commercialized and mainstream genres, and thus are a suitable example to clarify the role of media representation in Western capitalist democracy in this process. The politics of punk In terms of music, punk came along as an energetic and aggressive reaction against the middle-class meanderings of progressive rock.

  • CHAPTER FOUR Women, Sexuality And
    - 231 - CHAPTER FOUR Women, Sexuality and the Crime Question In the account we have presented so far of the evolution of the crime question in post-war political and social commentary, women have been almost entirely absent, as commentators and also as subjects of comment. It is only in the last decade, in fact, that the topics of the criminality of women and also crimes against women have been taken seriously within academic criminology; and probably only since the early 1970's that the contribution of women to the annual criminal statistics has become anything like a topic of animated discussion in Governmental circles, amongst police and in the mass media, as "an issue".' In this chapter, I want to attempt to examine some key connections that have been suggested in some of the recent work on women and sexuality (specifically with respect to the crime question), but in a limited way. The limited nature of my comments are a product of two considerations. First, I am not a woman, and I am therefore not able to speak from experience on many of the questions that are central to contemporary feminist debate. It is not that I believe that my gender disqualifies me from comments on these questions, any more than the fact that I believe that not having been a prisoner in a jail disqualifies me from commenting on the prison question. But I do believe that it is difficult to men to comprehend the fears women routinely experience, in adolescence and adulthood, regarding the possibility of rape, sexual attack or harassment; 2 or, for that matter, for them to understand the ways in which the "institutions" of prostitution and pornography contribute, subjectively, to the reproduction of women's sense of subordination to men.
