We were very aware that EU membership benefited our neighbourhood where the UK Government chose not to - unless they could make currency from our community #BigSociety
I have Scottish+ levels of bitterness about the EU Referendum.
Kruger's work on 'social covenant' is liked by centrists. Akin to #BigSociety and #communitypower - masking corporate power and hollowing out of welfare state - it sees to shift burden of public services onto communities, especially poor, under the guise of empowerment.

But #BigSociety ‼️
Here's a flashback article from the last, sad months of Bath Place Community Venture in Leamington Spa. Complete with one of those "up against the wall" photos, early on in the new Tory hegemony in around 2012.

Heard about a place the other day,
about a place where everything`s OK.
Place U never need 2 eat or sleep,
& U can work til you`re dying on your feet.
It`s called the Big Society,
the new land of the free,
& you`d better believe
it`s gonna get U.

During limited lockdown I decided to repair a wooden one. Took it away to redrill it.
When I returned an old boy was there looking confused - he’d had the same plan! Same day! He’d prepared (brought steps) so I let him reattach it.
True #BigSociety 👍
Sometimes a big gust of alt pop is required to kick-start the day and Big Society sure are capable of it.

Yesterday #BigBadger1 said this reminded him of #DavidCameron's #BigSociety.
A young Badger wondered why the Avatar director was getting involved. #BB1 just shook his head slowly 🤷

Is the #BounceBack going to #LevelUp the #BigSociety like the #NorthernPowerhouse?
Fed up with the establishment & status quo, it is all nonsense.
I need weekend of rebellious politics and systems change analysis. #Municipalsocialism is coded #BigSociety
We need a big state now more than ever,& all we have is confused mix match of experimental public policy
Here's a #tbt quote from 2010 about #BigSociety.
Fascinating re-reading of Locality's 2010 bid for community organisers - cites #bigsociety as a risk factor to misdirecting the programme!
As interesting is #localgov take on both. One labour council fully embracing #bigsociety and petrified of campaigns against it
How things have changed - two publications from 2010. The absymal #bigsociety and #campaigning guide pre #lobbying act
A colossal surprise here that savaging social housing in the name of savings DOES end up costing massive amounts after all. #bigsociety
Natasha lists some other orgs that can provide support to detainees – but "they're all tiny, overloaded charities" #BigSociety #WOWLDN
"Accdng to one source,Whitehall made it clear the campaign had failed to show the Govt 'enough respect'." http://gu.com/p/49qa2 #bigsociety

He's only saying what his party's thinking #bigsociety www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/tory-co... Surely a shoo-in for a 2015 Tory Cabinet.
Yet another result chalked up for the unstoppable @DWPgovuk team. They're on a roll www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/trag... #bigsociety
.@DWPgovuk's notion of "truth" at this point is broadly comparable with North Korea's samedifference1.com/2014/05/06/dwp-faces-cov... #bigsociety
