It will pay for some freelance workers to deliver workshops in schools, do the research, write the education packs and will pay local businesses who will do the printing and web design.

I appreciate your honesty Gayle in answering my questions but to me it is just a way of giving funds to those that are in favour with political parties or politicians that seek future favours from business people.

HWF is non profit making and made up of all volunteers

So what exactly will the HWF be doing if they are non-payed volunteers?

I personally get paid £200 per month for working for the forum

Not bad for a forum that is non-profit making, Do you realise that you are earning 25% of MY full time wages - and being paid from a group that do not make a profit?


but that's already covered by funding that we got from the Big Lottery ages ago for that purpose.

The lottery has such a big turnover simply because many dream of winning the "big one" - and to many, getting £50-00 extra a week would be a dream come true.

Their aim at that time was to put on an event to celebrate International Women's Day on 8th March each year.

I wonder how much is funded to celebrate St. Georges Day this year?

Sorry Gayle, I would love to support you but I personally feel that the whole project is motivated by people including yourself that are doing it for personal gain and using up funds that SHOULD NOT have been released by central government. Quango's should NOT be fed money like this especially when the finances of the nation are in such a critical state. Monies from Gordon Brown should be fed into local councils to ensure that tangible priorities like refuse, road repairs, hospices, the list is endless and NHS are topped up in order to maintain the standards we and our parents have paid for all our lives.

Take away the quango's = Billions more into OUR economy, paying for the things that really matter. THIS is why your proposal of a panopticon was rejected by the majority of Accy webbers.
