Re Post 45 - the answer was in my previous post. For your benefit I submit it again and say as follows:
‘’Posing a question is an entirely different prospect to making an assertion’’. I hope that clarifies the matter.

In relation to whether or not the funding of projects such as those seeking to prevent pandemics is germane to the people of Hyndburn, I am firmly of the view it is. If such projects were funded, then there is a distinct possibility that such outbreaks could be prevented. Thus communities up and down the country would benefit. I am not saying Hyndburn alone should shoulder responsibility for such a colossal project, merely suggesting that this is a better cause than for example, a local community leader setting up a ‘community health awareness worker’ or some such. In the case of the latter, surely the GP would be better positioned to both diagnose and alleviate problems such as poor diet and importance of lower cholesterol etc.
At a time when the Government is struggling with it’s finances, I think that projects such as the Olympics and initiatives similar to the above are far better causes to provide money to from the lottery and other sources of funding, than those which are currently receiving them under the umbrella of ‘integration’ or ‘celebration’ or some such.
Since I suggested yesterday a way of promoting integration (see post in bold/italics below), then perhaps I too ought to apply for some funds to enable such an event to be carried out. How about this as a proposal to HCN:
Gondola’s sport club - the binding thread for kids of all backgrounds

My view is this. It does not need vast amounts of funding to promote integration between different communities. Perhaps the next chap deciding on opening a community celebration centre would pause for a moment or two and consider that he may achieve just as much if not more community integration by taking a group of white and non white children for a game of cricket or football in the local park. That won't cost a cent and I suspect will do a lot of good to promoting harmony and understanding amongst the next generation of adults.

Let me know how I get on with my application!
