.... Social Housing


 

Social housing is facing financial and ideological issues more challenging than at any time in its history.
 
Has the narrative of ghettos of idleness and antisocial behavior won over that of homes for the decent working class ?
 
Can an atomised and individualist society be compatible with community building?

In order to have a new vision for the future we might need a new vision of the past.

Come and discuss the issues with David Dennehy, WEA Regional Committee Member and Tennant Director of a Housing Association.   

March  6th ,  5.30 – 7.30 at  City  South Manchester Housing Trust, Archway 5, Hulme,  Manchester, M15 5RL

WTPO Barack Obama



Come and discuss what you think of President Obama




 



On 21st January 2013 President Obama will begin his second term as President

So what has he achieved

  • Some say he is a communist and that he wants to establish a Marxist dictatorship
  • Some say he is not a true citizen of the USA and that he is a secret Muslim
  • Some say he sides with those who attack the USA (siding with Libyan attackers in Benghazi)

Introduction

What’s The Point Of….  are a series of talks and discussion groups being set  up and run by, and for, the members and volunteers of The Workers Education Association  in the North West  of England.   To be honest we don’t check whether people are members and volunteers but we would like to encourage people to join.
