Again Banksy proves he is one of the rare ones!! , by rebate on Jul 3, 2018 23:36:16 GMT 1, One of the worldโs most prominent artists has offered to help support Bristolโs library service.
Anonymous graffiti star Banksy has volunteered to lend a hand in keeping Bristolโs 27 libraries open, Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees has revealed.
One of the worldโs most prominent artists has offered to help support Bristolโs library service.
Anonymous graffiti star Banksy has volunteered to lend a hand in keeping Bristolโs 27 libraries open, Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees has revealed.
The shock announcement was prompted by a public forum question in which Lloyd Roberts asked if there was any truth to โrumours that a philanthropist had stepped forward to help libraries in Bristolโ.
After a loaded glance between the Mayor and Ms Craig, Mr Rees confirmed the speculation but warned โyou have to be careful with rumoursโ.
โItโs just that a very well known person from Bristol wrote in and asked us the nature of the challenge and to outline what support we need as a city to meet that challenge and that person was Banksy,โ he said.
โHe has come forward and talked about supporting us and we will see how that plays itself out.
โThere is nothing signed and delivered and so far it is just a conversation that we had.โ
Ms Craig added that other prominent people had come forward to offer financial support to the library service.
โBanksy is one of a couple of outside persons of interest and they may be investments in community parts not investing in the coffers of the council,โ she said.
The council is currently talking with community groups, library users, staff and experts to figure out how to develop a โrelevant, modernised and sustainableโ library service .
Ms Craig revealed community groups had come forward with offers to run 16 of the 17 libraries under threat in the city and said she โtrustsโ communities to โcome up with solutions which work for themโ.
โTo make it clear, all 27 libraries will remain open as they are now with a lot of community conversations getting going,โ she said.
The Deputy Mayorโs report was met with a round of applause from the cabinet and a word of thanks from the Mayor.
Many other councillors and members of the public welcomed the pause in cuts, but warned of the need for input from library staff before any reforms are pushed through.
Mr Rees declared he was slashing ยฃ1.4million from the libraries budget last year in an attempt to claw back the councilโs ยฃ108million deficit by 2023.
A public consultation revealed the council planned to have one large and two smaller satellite libraries in the south, east and north west areas of Bristol, alongside keeping Central Library off College Green open.
People were asked to choose between three lists of libraries they wanted to keep and three they wouldnโt mind seeing close. The consultation was met with fierce opposition from campaign groups who accused the council of pitting communities against each other.
I like that he does this stuff!!

Or he could just sell one original and donate the cash from the sale.
Why should people living near the โpossibly effected (sic)โ libraries have first refusal? I doubt more than 10% of the people use them, hence why theyโre under threat in the first place.
Why should anybody benefit financially, just for living near an under-threat library thatโs now not going to close?
Maybe Iโm missing the point. It wouldnโt be the first time

Again Banksy proves he is one of the rare ones!! , by Bill Hicks on Jul 5, 2018 10:46:28 GMT 1, There are 64.1 million library members and 9.8 million active borrowers.
282.3 million visits to public libraries take place each year.
74% of people in England think that libraries are an essential or very important service to the community, with a further 19% regarding them as fairly important.
Public libraries provide positive outcomes for people and communities in a variety of ways, beyond simply providing access to books. They contribute to the formation of human capital, the maintenance of mental and physical wellbeing, social inclusivity and community cohesion.
According to analysis by Coates, the former Waterstones managing director turned libraries advocate, loans of childrenโs books in England have dropped by 22% in the last five years, due to โthe burden of the collapsing libraries falling on children in big citiesโ. Across Birmingham, for instance, the decline in childrenโs book loans increased to 32%. In Newcastle, it is 35%, and in Sheffield 56%.
According to childrenโs author and libraries campaigner Alan Gibbons, the figures reveal the catastrophic state of public provision.
โThose of us who have been campaigning for a coherently led and properly funded library service will be appalled, but sadly unsurprised at the latest figures. You canโt close libraries, sack trained staff, slash opening hours and book funds and simultaneously expect visits and borrowing to remain healthy,โ said Gibbons. โThis government is responsible for the systematic undermining of a great national institution.โ
Labour shadow culture secretary Kevin Brennan said the damage being done to libraries by ongoing Tory austerity this ยฃ66m hammer blow to libraries is a direct result of the governmentโs brutal cuts to local authority budgets,โ he said. โLibraries are vital community hubs and they are crucial to social mobility. This government continues to put them at risk with fewer books and fewer paid staff while library closures continue.
A government spokesperson said: We have invested almost ยฃ4m.

That last bit just so totally sums the tory ethos up! we have invested 4 million. Yeah, but you cut 66 million, were not ALL that stupid!
It is kinda easy to see why they love to cut at anything education though!!! Seems to be pretty effective too sadly.

Again Banksy proves he is one of the rare ones!! , by J0NNY on Jul 5, 2018 11:39:33 GMT 1, Surely it does make sense in this day and age to maybe close a few liberies and spend the money elsewhere? I mean a lot of people have the internet these days and most liberies have a digital section anyway so you can essientialy borrow from the comfort of your own home.
I think there is obviously a need for them, not all people have access to computers and others prefer to learn and read from good old fashioned paper are just a couple of many examples, but is it justifieable to keep so many?

No. Absolutely not. If there's money for militarism there's money for social education services. It's the priorities that are f*cked and not the money that's short. Shut down Trident before shutting down libraries.

Its pretty obvious the money can be got if needed, they have shaken thes**t out of the magic money tree in front of peoples eyes more than a few times. While spending billions of 'non existent" money and simultaneously convincing people there is no money.
One thing should sum this up without the shadow of a doubt, the problems in this country are clear, investment is needed. So what has our PM spent or allowed to spend 5million pounds of our money on? The orange idiot, so he can go play a game of golf in Scotland at his own fkin golf course!!!!! if that cant be seen as a stunning example of the total lack of judgement, or lack of care for people that toxic may has, i dont know what can!! She should have taken one look at that idea and said GTFO, but no!!! Thats why things are fucked, not a lack of money, its more a proliferation ofs**t politicians and greedy arseholes.
5 million quid. How many nurses would that pay for the next 10 years? Thats gross Negligence if you ask me. And also disgusting to watch in a way thats hard to take.

ha ha, the standard lack of understanding of reality. so the trains were out service because they were tagged? nah, not really. Someone decided to make a big issue out of the tags, and the best way to do that was to take the trains out of service. That was a considered decision with a clear objective. Or was the train damaged to the point of dangerous? doubt it, paint on trains doesnt really do that. Was there a good reason to take them out of service? no not really. Someone decided to screw over the passengers as it was more important to them to make a point about tagging.
Banksy wasnt making a point about flags, he was making a point about patriotism and the knob ends that seem to have subverted it into racism.

apart from the Palestinians who Banksy supports their flag waving and that's the danger of people in the media being hypocrits with their holier than though judgement over people who are proud of who they are and their country.
So Banksy is the judge of who and who cannot wave a flag it seems.

Again Banksy proves he is one of the rare ones!! , by moron on Jul 8, 2018 17:57:16 GMT 1, Libraries are great unfortunately Blair government created their demise.
Bristol council and closing libraries is due to mismanagement of council budget.
Books are great, freedom of expression is great.
