The film follows the life of film-maker David Bond, who upon receiving a
letter from HMRC informing him that his daughter's details were amongst
the 25 million lost by the child benefit agency, embarks on a journey to
discover just how much information is held about him by government and
private companies. Along the way David meets people who have been caught
in the crossfire of the database state, some who have had their lives
shattered.  After the screening there will be a discussion taken by
director David Bond and NO2ID's Phil Booth, so please come with your
probing questions! To watch the ERASING DAVID trailer please visit:

==Philosphy and Environment Lectures, Free Admission, UEA 7pm Lecture Theatre 2==
PHILOSOPHY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Public Lecture Series 2010
Environmental concerns are at the centre of current attention. The
Autumn 2010 series of Public Lectures will engage with fascinating
questions that these concerns raise from a philosophical
perspective. What is our own place as human beings in nature?
What do we even mean when speaking about the natural
environment? What is the relationship between environmental
science and philosophy? Are there any links between the beauty of
nature and its moral value?
This year’s speakers are philosophers, environmentalists and
environmentally engaged journalists. Mary Midgley, renowned moral
philosopher, known for her work on science, ethics and animal
rights will launch the series. Steven Poole, author and writer on
environmental issues for The Guardian, will investigate how talk of
such things as 'natural resources', 'the environment' and
'climate change' systematically obscures the real nature of
nature. Kate Rawles, who teaches in the School of Outdoor Studies
at Cumbria University, will tell us about her understanding of
‘outdoor philosophy’. Two debates complete the series: UEA
philosophers Angela Breitenbach and Tom Greaves will discuss
whether the experience of natural beauty can inform our moral
concern for the environment, while Mike Hulme, Professor of Climate
Change (UEA), will engage with UEA philosopher Rupert Read in a
debate about the relationship between philosophy and
environmental science.
All are welcome, philosophers and non-philosophers alike, to these
topical and exciting events.

==Conflict in the Middle East - public meeting, Tue 30th Nov., Chantry Hall, 7pm==

How much do Christians know about the continuing strife and bloodshed in Palestine?
How much do we care about the suffering of the Palestinians in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza? Should we ignore what is happening there, to “pass by on the other side”, as in the parable of the Good Samaritan?

We used to know Palestine as the Holy land, where Jesus Christ ministered and died for us. It is also a country for which we were responsible under Mandate from the League of Nations until 1948.

Please come and hear balanced responsible discussion by

The Revd. Alan Ashton
Co author of the report “Justice for Palestine and Israel” presented to the Methodist Conference July 2010.
(The report can be read or downloaded at http://www.methodistconference.org.uk )

Bruce Kent
Vice President of Pax Christi
International Catholic Movement for Peace

The Rt. Revd. David Gillett
Honorary Assistant Bishop, Norwich Diocese
