Mariella Frostrup, "I just don't know when we started dehumanising people to the extent that we do now"
>Huge clap<
*In response to Nadine Dorries's long rant on leaving the ECHR and using the Royal Navy to address Farage's Brexit Small Boats Arrivals*
"I find it really shocking"
"Imagine if nobody wanted to come here then we'd really be depressed by Britain as a nation"
"Of course it is an issue. But we've decreased our budget for international development"
"We have a completely shambolic asylum system"
"You talk about people coming here illegally, but what are the legal routes?"
"We still don't have proper legal routes"
Nadine Dorries, "We do"
Mariella Frostrup, "Explain. I'm a woman in Congo. I'm one of the 80,000 women who has been raped as a result of the conflict going on there. I need to escape. My family has been wiped out. What's my legal way of applying to join my sister who is in the UK?"
*Nadine Dorries goes silent*
"It is impossible, our system is broken"
"The way we talk about people trying to come here, and the way we completely ignore the dilemmas that they face. And the fact that we have been instrumental in a lot of those conflicts"
"What happened to Afghanistan? When we were determined that people from Afghanistan could come here because of the way they supported us during that war"
"And now we're talking about them as if they're rubbish on the street"
"I think it's a shame we're allowing Reform UK to set the tone and the agenda and the way we talk about illegal immigrants"
*Nadine Dorries is now biting her lips*
>Another huge clap<
We don't need to engage everyone in our network/community of practice/improvement campaign. Trying to activate the passive parts of our community or stakeholder group can be exhausting & demoralising . Unequal participation is natural.
In most communities/groups we can see three clear groups:
(1) The most active members at the core: they are the "stewards" who take initiative & make things happen.
(2) The committed members: they want to be part of this group, they contribute & participate to their abilities
(3) The outer circle of people who are mostly passive: some of them were once active in the past; some of them you have never seen.
Group (3) make up the majority of your community.
It is a mistake to try to turn the disengaged people in group (3) into group (2) activists. You can't push anyone into anything. Much better to focus on supporting groups (1) & (2). Keep group (3) informed & make light-touch invitations. People’s energy often changes over time so don't close doors:
