WE NEED TO GET OUT THERE.....

Tonight (last night technically) to Climate Change evening at the Trades Club. There were about 70 people there ( and about two members of the Labour Party). An impressive turn-out.
This is an issue which clearly excites the imagination of many. Far more than attend boring Branch meetings etc.
In this neck of the woods, they are holding monthly meetings from now on. Loads of people to meet and discuss stuff with. At the moment, not focussed on party politics. If we are to seriously change the agenda of this country - and the Government -need to get out of the bubble and face some tough questions. And provide some answers.......

THE BROWN BOUNCE?

Today's Guardian reports that armed police will use anti-terrorism powers to "deal robustly" with climate change protesters at Heathrow.
Up to 1,800 extra officers will be drafted in to prevent an estimated 1,500 people disrupting the airport over the period of the camp for climate change, which is due to begin on Tuesday. The police have been told to use stop and search powers against the protesters, who have pledged to take direct action on August 18 and 19 but not to" endanger life." An unacceptable and shameful directive from this Government.
