I found the following from an American columnist who wondered the same thing:<br /><br /><i>"Perhaps the simplest way to describe community organizing is to say it is the practice of identifying a specific aggrieved population, say unemployed steelworkers, or itinerant fruit-pickers, or residents of a particularly bad neighborhood, and agitating them until they become so upset about their condition that they take collective action to put pressure on local, state, or federal officials to fix the problem, often by giving the affected group money."</i><br /><br />Now I doubt that Cameron intends to follow this model but I suspect this is exactly what we'll end up with... especially when the crazies hijack the thing.<br /><br />Oh, and isn't it interesting that the blogger's darling, Mr Dale, hasn't had anything to say about Dave's shiny new policy?John Pickworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166443099429490782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-65911113602480970252010-04-01T17:36:51.077+01:002010-04-01T17:36:51.077+01:00PS: for a taster, see:
