  • Long Report: Giving it away is misguided

    It’s believed that giving things away for free and informally is the least constructive way to help society and this has been proved by international research by a number of international groups led by academics.

    In the UK, it has led to an exponential increase in criminal harassment because of a false ethic of seeking help and causing alarm. This has led to extreme circumstances of harm and offence being caused across the four nations.

    It’s now believed that asking for help is a policing matter and that it needs to be set out in local policing arrangements that people cannot harass the local community based on any felt need on any given day of the year.

    The moral factor

    The matter of criminal harassment is only just being understood by those that have to look into the detail of the mentality of a person that uses every hour of the day to cause thousands of instances of harm wherever they choose to live.

    The intervention of social care services is vital in this matter because they harness the power of person-centred care and attention that UK citizens are able to provide, that they are good at, and are able to do even at the public’s cost.

    What does an empty hand mean to you?

    The link between asking for help and harassment is now firmly established. It’s clear who is doing it and why they’re doing it. It’s difficult though to work in a new approach to any policing arrangement because it takes serious – and detailed – working practices to do it.

    Uncharitable nature

    The core of the problem is an influx of uncharitable people into the business and meaning of the charitable sector itself. It’s meant this sector has stopped at the point of taking money and has not developed into the forms and structures that it needed to.

    The outcomes are obvious to see in part in the incessant protests that also try to mix in a message of charity for other people. They too have stopped short at the point of offering help and have not considered the lasting implications of both the wrong people and wrong sources of help being involved.

    The modern world is a complex place, but a fundamental feature of it now is an ability to provide and this involves the human nature and condition in a form of Judicial support for the justice aspects of it. It makes it work and it makes it sensible.

  • If China wants a new embassy, who cares?!

    The Chinese state is said to be looking for a site for an embassy in London, to replace a smaller building. It’s not a minor ambition to have here. If it seeks to follow in the footsteps of the US, after its move to Nine Elms, it’ll find itself in a much better position at a difficult time.

    It’s faced criticisms for not funding diplomatic missions fully, stopping short of providing resources to make a proper effort. This may be interpreted by some as laziness, or a lack of interest in the process. Its economic might may give the impression it doesn’t need to try.

    However, an embassy is a chance to impress yourself on an overseas ‘client’ state. It gives place – and purpose – to finding things in common. The exercise is diplomatic as it gives a taste or flavour to an experience of knowing each other, using soft power as the process.

    It’s also an outpost for your statecraft as it relates to other things. It may be promoting culture more broadly, providing services, or maintaining links that are usually difficult to keep going, like with monarchies. These are the things that embassy staff are able to do well.
