Green/Red Film Night in Clapham tomorrow


News below of a series of films being shown at the Bread and Roses, the trade union owned pub, in Clapham tomorrow night, at which my friend and comrade, Teresa Delaney, from Green Left will be speaking. Teresa is likely to be contesting Stockwell ward on May 3rd for the Green Party in the Lambeth council elections.


Countdown to Copenhagen Film Night organised by Battersea and Wandsworth TUC


Tuesday 24th November 19 00 to 21 00 at Bread and Roses pub, 68 Clapham Manor St, SW4 (about ten minutes walk from Clapham Common Tube station)


The night will allow trade unionists and green activists info on the issues being discussed at the UN climate change talks in Copenhagen.


Films include 'Save Vestas' - a film about the campaign to save the Vestas factory on the Isle of Wight and which brought the Red and Green movements together in the effort to save green jobs.


Plymouth Stop the Nuclear Waste Dump - Plymouth is where nuclear submarines are decommissioned. If Trident was scrapped these docks could provide thousands of green jobs producing renewable energy equipment with very little extra investment.


And now that elections are in the air - we had a training day yesterday for council and general election candidate in Lambeth, hosted by Cllr Becca Thackray of Herne Hill ward. Here is a pic of myself and Rebecca Findlay, general election candidates for Vauxhall and Streatham, together with Cllr Adrian Ramsay from Norwich, who was leading the training day. Adrian is expected to give Charles Clarke a run for his money at the general election in Norwich and has a strong chance of becoming one of the first Green MPs. This could be very critical, judging by yesterday's headlines of a possible hung parliament, according to the latest IPSIS Mori poll.
