WE ARE RESPONSIBLE. UNFORTUNATELY WE MUST SHOW THAT WE ARE.
Party principles at parties in the community on the streets...
1. We believe that it is the responsibility of each of us to look after ourselves. We believe it is the responsibility of each one of us to look after oneself before anyone can claim to be looking after anyone else.
2. The freedom of each of us to do as we like can interfere with the freedom of those around us. Since consideration of others within total personal freedom cannot be enforced, consideration for others is now expected from each one of us, and from us all.
3. We will act on the following: – Private interests who deny access to the countryside and who build on it. – Private criminal elites organising the sale of drugs at community events. – Private careerists who hijack the movement or any of its banners or principles. – Private landlords who allow city buildings to stand empty and unused. – We undertake to use free and squatted space efficiently and to keep an orderly house. – We undertake to discourage new communities from becoming overcrowded, or to allow them to be used as police warehousing.
4. We know the following must happen so we can continue to do what we do in freedom and fairness. We are prepared to confront hard problems with real, direct and non-violent solutions Therefore we will: – Deal with organised crime selling drugs within parties and community gatherings. – Ensure the following considerations are planned for on site and acted on at all our social gatherings. – Safe convoys to and from pitches. – Ensure fire safety and limits on numbers. – Undertake to check the sanitary arrangements and arrange basic medical care. – Venues should be away from non-participating communities with respect to noise, car, and crowd pollution. – Education and harm reduction information is on site. – Check drug taking and drug availability in the community on site. – Media coverage provisions and lawyers on site as part of our defence when dealing with the law.
5. We believe only care and attention to all the above will create safe crime free environments to provide real working models and alternatives to the Babylon control that is the Criminal Justice Bill.
6. We know that commitment to personal communication nourishes truth, freedom and honesty. We will share information, and will communicate with each other completely.
