Reflections of a green ecosocialist. "The time has come the walrus said To talk of many things Of shoes and ships and sealing wax Of cabbages and kings" Lewis Carroll: Alice through the Looking Glass

He currently works for Lambeth's main disability organisation, Disability Advice Service Lambeth on a part time basis.
After having been Vice Chair of the London Ambulance Service Patients Forum, the largest public and patient involvement group in the NHS, he was elected Chair in 2010 and re-elected Chair in 2011.
He was also active as a pioneer in the LGBT rights movement in the Irish Republic in the 70s and early 80s and has campaigned strongly in London on issues connected with HIV and health.

Inspirational isn't he? Peter put Debbie Abraham's to shame, apparently her agent came up to him after this event and said thanks for helping her out, quite clearly out of her depth, and it's a very sad Labour cynically didn't condemn the cuts (sorry she did mention policing...) until after they'd won.
ReplyDeleteIt was an honour to be out on the streets as a Green with Peter and others offering a REAL alternative here in Greater Manchester so soon after the condem's scammed us and Labour squeezed us back in May.
