Support the Vestas workers

Boys on the Balcony is the great new song from Seize the Day, supporting the Vestas wind turbine workers who are currently occupying their factory.



The Greens have come up with an excellent plan to make it a workers cooperative. See www.greenparty.org.uk

Meet your new MEP

This is who the good people of Yorkshire have elected as one of their representatives in Europe. Guardian article about Andrew Brons. I wonder how many of the voters realised exactly what the BNP stands for-I am ashamed that our region has elected a fascist. It could have been so much better if just a few more people had voted Green instead- then we would have the politics of hope, not hate. Caroline Lucas would rather forget the BNP and concentrate on the planet. I think if our positive manifesto had been given the publicity it deserved, instead of being lost in the mire of MP's expenses scandals, the result could have been much better. I have spoken to people who supported UKIP/BNP and they did it because they are worried about jobs and wanted to send a protest to the MP's in Westminster. How much more effective that protest would have been if it had been for Greens who want to create a million new green jobs.
