At the heart of the social harms being caused by our current economic crisis is a crucial but little known aspect of our monetary system. Legislation 160 years old allows private banks to determine not only the amount of money circulating in our economy but also where it goes. This antique privilege and its modern consequences are the subject of a public meeting hold in Muswell Hill on December 5th.
You are invited to a Screening of new documentary “97% Owned” new documentary that exposes how our privatised, debt-based monetary system grants banks the power to create money.
Featuring frank interviews and commentary from economists, campaigners and former bankers, 97% Owned shows in just 60 minutes how this privilege allows banks to shape the economy, cause crises and push house prices out of reach. Successive governments and the Bank of England have failed to tackle what amounts to a privatisation of the money supply, economists have missed its significance and the subject is largely ignored by economic pundits in the mainstream media.
Produced by Queuepolitely and featuring Ben Dyson of Positive Money, Josh Ryan-Collins of The New Economics Foundation, Ann Pettifor of PRIME, Paul Moore the “HBOS Whistleblower”, Simon Dixon of Bank to the Future and Nick Dearden from the Jubliee Debt Campaign, this is the first documentary to tackle this issue from a UK-perspective.
Now radical change to the monetary system is in the air; just what it is and how we can hasten it will be covered in the presentation and discussion following the film.
So if you care about social justice and economic stability, let alone unaffordable house prices, do come and bring friends.
It’s free but donations to cover costs will be welcome on the day.
If you know others who share your concerns do please spread the word and forward this email. Promoted byPositiveMoney an independent, non-party research and campaign organisation aiming to raise public awareness of the UK’s monetary system. For more information: www.positivemoney.org.uk

Tired of your t-shirts? Wish you had some different dresses? Save money by bringing along your unwanted (but wearable) clothes to our Swish and Style event and go home with a new-to-you outfit, all for free!
It’s simple. Have a clear out and bring good quality clothes to one of our seven events. For each item you bring, you get a token that you can exchange for another garment (maximum 10 items). Everything is free, everything is clean and everything will be re-worn and re-loved.
How it works
For the first hour (12.30 – 1.30), everyone is invited to drop off their clothes, shoes and accessories that they want to donate. Whilst we busily sort them into style and hang them on hangers, you’ll be free to check out the workshops – learning how to do simple fixes to your clothes and how to upcycle them into something completely different – a jumper becomes a hot water bottle cover, a treasured Babygro becomes a patchwork memory blanket and an old t-shirt becomes a bag. If you have any clothes that need a little TLC, bring them along and our seamstress can fix them for you for free while you wait.
The from 2pm until 3pm, you get to look through all the clothes and choose what you want. If you love it, take it. It’s first come, first served – but no elbows please!
What can you bring?
Please bring along:
- Clean and wearable clothes, shoes and accessories
- No damage, holes and stains
- You can bring women’s, men’s, children’s and baby clothes
- No underwear please, unless in sealed, unworn condition
Anything that we deem unacceptable will be given back to you and you will not be given a token. We have the right to turn away any item.
Please note only adults will be allowed at events. Parents with children under the age of 12 can bring them but they must remain under the parents’ supervision at all times.
Any clothes that are left over at the end of the event will be donated to the Salvation Army.
