Reflections of a green ecosocialist.

To talk of many things
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings"

Oldham and Saddleworth By election hustings
The hustings in the Oldham by election with questions on the NHS, cuts etc and a spirited performance by Green Party candidate, Peter Allen. Good luck tomorrow Peter.
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.
It 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.
