Many social clubs are left

The writer still believes that OCSET and also the Cowley Club which is in Brighton and not Cowley is only for one group of people, not really for the community. There are other clubs left after it has closed.

I am sorry in a fashion that Ocset is closing, but surely these people can understand that Mr Kandola wanted the building that is his. If they want a social centre, they must pay their rent as all the other clubs.

Always it is described as a much needed social centre, but it is only for a certain group of people, just like the gladiator’s club or the Asian cultural centre or the conservative club. It is not the answer to any real widespread need for the whole community of this district as they would like to pretend.

Please can Mr Demeanor explain me, what is the difference between a drinking parlour and a community resource, please ? Which is the famous village pubs ?

Mr Serendipity also says that the conservative club is “a clique propping up their own cheap private drinking club”. He says to me to read about the Cowley Club. I have read. The Cowley Club “supports radical co-operatives - those opposed to capitalist systems of hierarchy” and it has “a private members bar during the evening”. So it is like the conservative club. They are in favour of the capitalist system, I think, and they support Mr Howard’s triumph, so they are not just there only either for their subsided jar.
