The Global Table meets Wednesdays 12noon-2pm at the School of Economic Science, 11-13 Mandeville Place, W1U 3AJ. From Bond Street tube, turn left/west into Oxford Street, when you see GAP on the other side, cross over and go right/north along James Street – after a couple of blocks you will come to it on the left.
This Open Table monitors and encourages a wide range of activities in the realms of inclusive justice and the systemic redesign of the economic systems. The Table agreed a ten minute rule on initial contributions so that discussion of matters raised and other interests can have their share. I encourage people to report in advance the essence of any matter they wish to bring to the table. It would enhance the value of this network if regular readers of key books, journals or sites could make brief reports of any significant findings.
MATTERS IN THE AIR …. Reminding each other of opportunities before us:
1. B of E Governor’s reply – continuation Bank of England’s ’s website and look at Question 6.
2. CEJ and conference on contributions to system redesign. NEF dialogue.
3. AN ALTRUISTS COMMUNITY – Working for love not money. We are an optimistic, positive community with members from both the under- and the over-developed world. We are united by our commitment that a money-centred struggle for personal gain is no way to make the world a better place. We try to ignore money but put people at the heart of what we do, concentrating on what will be of real benefit to others. www.altruists.org

11. PETITIONS – drive on in solidarity to maximise awareness. For Instance: Writing to your MP to ask “which side are you on” regarding Early Day Motion 913 may be a good hook. 51 MPs since tabling last recently is much better than any of our EDMs over the years! Austin Mitchell tabled EDM 1138 on INTEREST FREE CREDIT. A new tool we’ve got is a STOP THE OPPRESSION PETITION
We urge you to sign the official petition to the Prime Minister to support LVT on the Number 10 Downing Street website: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/TaxLess4more/

Be open to the spirit,
exude humble strength,
celebrate life emergent, and
find the promise of journeying
Vision without action is empty.
Action without vision is blind.
Opinion and ideology divide.
Quest and commitment unite.
