We're a funny bunch in Hebden Bridge. This small town in the middle of nowhere is a melting-pot of people from all over the world.It's also a place with a ridiculously high number of socialists and campaigners for justice. I'm glad to say....... One of them is Janet OOsthuysen who is standing for Calder ward in May.
Janet's from South Africa and her parents had to leave the country because of their anti-apartheid stance. Before anyone starts screaming "photo opp" let me point out this photo of Janet with Mandela was taken in 1991. Janet has campaigned long and hard against racism and stood against the BNP in Halifax. She is a sincere and committed socialist and LRC member who is working her socks off in the community at the moment. Read her blog to find out more
