I subsequently asked the Tory for a
voluntary contribution to this article, a short contribution maybe, he
refrained from making a comment and without hesitation blocked 'Twitter' communication with yours truly and everyone else on 'Twitter.'Yes, he removed himself from the social network site just after receiving my message. I experienced a circular irony beyond
comprehension. As a means of politeness I shall send Mr. Bradley this prose via his parliamentary email address - ben.bradley.mp@parliament.uk
I am sure that at some point professional
creatives have voluntarily given their time to demonstrate ideological
perfection, this is the character of a creative, alas exploiting suchlike
deserves strong condemnation. Worth noting that the end result requires a
video-editing suite, now they’re an animal of an imperialist kind… expect extortionate hourly rates for a slick
and engaging film, paid for upfront prior to creating the raw file (s) – the
durable knitting process is something to behold, otherwise any budding film
fanatic could do it. Plus, Mr. Bradley is clueless on the terminology; no media
student builds a CV; how is that
possible? Maybe he meant Visual Archive? A platform for potential clients to
observe one’s creativity – then again, what’s the value in that when the client
asks how much would that cost? Once the media person relays it was on a
voluntary basis this opens up the conversation on future voluntary contracts,
ultimately this defeats the object of survival, and so the pattern emerges.
Leaving the creative stuck in negotiations with potential clients, I’d go
further, it kills talent, creates impoverish working conditions and the ilk of
Mr. Bradley continue to believe it is alright. Total injustice personified -
would Mr. Bradley ask a talented accountant to do some number crunching on a
voluntarily basis? Of course not, there illustrates the vocational prejudice.
Here’s the contradistinction in Mr. Bradley’s
‘Update’ – ‘there are plenty of students etc.
out there I speak to all the time who offer to help… I have young people apply
and come and help in my office on work experience on a weekly basis because it
helps them, not because it helps me.’ Surely this begs the question why
advertise for a video editor for self-promotion if it can be easily delegated
to a keen youthful tech-expert? You could denote this ‘Update’ was indeed
misinformation; although since being elected he has secured six unpaid work
experience placements. A fair few considering they’re a distraction to the
Mansfield MP and don’t remotely help him. I am sure the recipients get a lot of
volunteering satisfaction in the acknowledgement
they’re a hindrance to the MP. Perhaps the six volunteers got the gist they
were of no help and told Mr. Bradley to get a credulous intern to do a short film instead. What I like
about Mr.
Bradley is his annual list of achievements in the last twelve months, namely
posting 5K letters. I’ve a hunch this was really the work of the six work
experience students which he found unhelpful – Meh, not sure how this is work
experience, unless your dream vocation is filling envelopes - All part of the
Parliamentary Placement Scheme; whereby ten interns are chosen from diverse
backgrounds. Basically, individuals who can afford to work for the voluntary
sector – henceforth, this rules out quite a few diverse backgrounds apart from the opulent.
For too long I’ve been searching on a UK Charity
Database to see whether parliamentarian Ben Bradley MP has a MP charitable
status. Nil results has frequent this
observation; the reason for my investigation derives from his ‘Update’ see
above… the comment is in a question format. ‘Are
people who volunteer for charities being exploited, or do they want to do
something helpful?’ Naturally, I
suspect people volunteer to help a charity, quite often doing it for personal
reasons – but, Ben Bradley MP isn’t a charity; and I found that the
Conservative Party is a political party and not deemed a charity - again, nil results. An inquiry into political
finance seven years ago surrounding ‘Gift
Aid’ gave Lord Feldman a wakeup call in regards to tax relief and Ben Bradley
MP should take note that political finance, people volunteering under a charity
status whereby the status isn’t charitable nor has a registration number makes
the volunteer practice unethical and maybe questions democracy. Lord Feldman
exposed the status of political party’s charitable status; Gift Aid cannot be a means to funding via donors per se of the
common-knowledge all political parties aren’t charity. Search for Lord
Feldman’s interaction at the Committee on
Standards in Public Life meeting for conclusive evidence.
Ben Bradley MP is proficient in superficial misinformation
– namely, proudly exclaiming in bullet point format that Alan Meale didn’t
mention Mansfield in his last year as MP for Mansfield – Bradley mentioned the
place 48 times in the House of Commons. This is easily explained, Meale was the
Mansfield MP for thirty years, no need to state where you come from if everyone
knows who you are. You’re a political mediocrity an opportunist; a usurper from
the Conservative’s protectionist agenda… nothing more than a pantomime villain.
What Bradley didn’t state was that Meale made 26 speaking contributions in his last
year. And he wasn’t like a bull in a china shop; his MP longevity was due to
picking a political topic and sticking to it. This is where you gather
insurmountable influence with your peers and community you represent.
Furthermore, it’s churlish to boastfully announce how many people you engage
with on social media of the simple notion they’re not all going to vote for
you, and don’t all live in Mansfield, I being one.
We reside in a Free State which enables a free
nation to openly discuss matters without the concern for totalitarian reprisal.
My correspondence isn’t remotely dramatic but a response of what
parliamentarians believe what they’re entitled to have. Offering no payment for
an individual who’d self-invested thousands of pounds into his / her education
to be an expert in their designated field is modern day slavery. The copyright
ownership would come under the office of Ben Bradley Conservative MP --- and
while the creative is under instruction he / she is forced to obey to your visual
demands without remuneration; equating to slave labour. If you don’t like the
use of terminology / viewpoint feel free to explain yourself.
Would you like to be part of a short film that identifies how parliamentary privileges warps the minds of new MPs? Contributions are on a voluntarily basis. I’m only asking for MP contributions, which openly support student paucity.
