Checkmate: a film made by a young volunteer criticising the vetting of volunteersThis is a film made by Amin Ali, a WORLDwrite volunteer, who for years has also organised - voluntarily - football tournaments for hundreds of youngsters in East London. This film shows how he and his friends think vetting volunteers will stop people like him volunteering and it also questions trusting a piece of paper from the police rather than trusting ourselves. It would be great if you could make a comment by following the link below; we would like to know what you think:

The Manifesto Club supports:All those who oppose the new Mayor's ban on drinking on the London Tube... 'Enlightenment is humanity's emergence from self-imposed immaturity. Dare to know! Have courage to use your own understanding!' Immanuel Kant 'What characterises man is his extreme abundance of imagination; therefore, that man is a fantastic animal and that universal history is the gigantic, continuous and insistent effort to go, little by little, putting some order into the crazy fantasy.' José Ortega y Gasset |
