Dulwich & District U3A Monthly Open Meeting Wed 11th Nov

Herne Hill Baptist Church, Half Moon Lane SE24 9HU

An Illustrated talk by Benny Dembitzer

'In the Eye of the Hurricane'

Is the large scale increase in refugees reaching Europe a one-off phenomenon or the gradual unfolding of wider and uncontrollable forces involving over-population, climate change, urbanisation, civil wars and global migration?


Benny, who lives locally, is an economist who has specialised in developing countries, particularly in Africa. He is a member of the team that won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985 and has published books entitled ?The Attack on World Poverty? and ?Sleepwalking into Global Famine?. He lectures frequently at London Universities and to voluntary aid organisations, and has recently returned from a lecture tour of Brazil.

The talk will be followed with Q&A and refreshments.

    • It doesn't matter what channel it was on, how pernicious the subject is and when it happened. Mis-representing the truth in broadcast is not only morally wrong, it's against the OFCOM code of ethics.  Everyone in the industry is trained in how not to do it, most are made to take the BBC's own 'Safeguarding the Trust' course, even if they aren't making BBC programmes.  There wasn't much fuss at the time, because no one knew about it.  "Unless you hate Britain, hate liberals, hate the BBC, want a divided country, support the most powerful person in the world despite his many failings". What the programme makers personally think or feel should never affect how they tell a story; to do so is deeply unprofessional and a sackable offence.  It's the job of the BBC and of all programming to inform viewers of the facts and let them make up their own minds. Even in campaigning documentaries.   
    • Hadn't realised that the Panorama programme that people are up in arms about was over a year ago.  There wasn't much fuss at the time so why drag it up.  Unless you hate Britain, hate liberals, hate the BBC, want a divided country, support the most powerful person in the world despite his many failings. The programme was clumsy, but the vast majority of us know that Trump had an influence.  So the Telegraph has played into his hands.
    • I tried a Lime bike once, too heavy and bulky for me but I understand that many really like them.  And very much support the concept.
