Hmm, I wonder where this person has been the last 3 years. Government finances were in surplus and had the lowest level of debt for a generation mainly due to a failure to make sufficient allocation of funds to public services despite rising affluence for the rich. The then Government borrowed...

Wow. I am really pleased to see some people looking into the issues In reply to some policy questions regarding the Green Party: 1) Bus Fare Zones. Maximum fare zones are in fact used in other areas of the country quiet successfully. For example West Midlands Travel currently charge a £1.10...

My sister is a Health Psychologist and what she tells me about how our health is being affected by all this environmental degregation is scary... Once again it is the poor and vunerable that will be worst affected by the selfish consumption patterns of the wealthy. Is this not a question of...

Hmmm, All these undead references may at first appear irrelevant but I am viewing all those old Zombie flicks in a new light. We need to get a bunker, some land and the weapons to defend it.

A Vampire! Vampire - A ressurected person who is now an immortal who can not be killed. Zombie - A dead corpse that has been re-ainmated. Though I think this is the wrong thread for this conversation.

Thank you I feel resurrected - though I fear it maybe as the Undead! lol

Update: AI hae changed their meeting times. It is now 8pm on the 2nd Sunday of the Month at the Freinds Meeting House.

100 months to Save the Planet... 96 Months left In August 2008 the New Economic Foundation warned that, unless we make real changes, we have 100 months until the climate balance tips irrecoverably into chaos. Read the Guardian article by Andrew Simms (NEF) or see the 'live countdown clock'...

Negative connotations oh dear have we reached that stage....I had hoped we were reaching a consenus that the environment is to important to ignore. The term Sustainability has been hijacked to refer to sustaining the current situation and thus can be quiet conservative in its usage. Thankfully...

Eh? Some people seem a little confused as to the meaning of the word Capitalism, not mention a few other terms being thrown around. Capitalism is a specific economic system that produces expotential capital accumulation which is what you call 'economic' growth'. Such a system requires massive...

Thanks for that Markbin... Trade Justice is a serious concern...Their is little point in passing environmental and workers rights laws in the UK if a corporation can just relocate to any third world dictorship to exploit the workers and the environment there. Their involvement has gone further...

Much better cheers

On the subject of Human Rights the 10th December was the 60th Aniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at the UN. Rights are both a limitation of power and a duty to others and thus acutally make a damn good code of ethics to incorporate into your life! More...

hmm, that look a bit messy any tip on how to underline and bold when posting?

Local Green Groups: For those of you looking for a local 'green' group to get involved in I am pleased to be able to offer this list (if I have missed one please let me know) of active 'green' groups in the Stafford and Stone area. (I am also organising a 'green group' at Stafford College so if...

I think it is an excellent idea to have a section on voluntary opportunities and maybe even ethical careers/jobs in Stafford. Lunar Scorpion has already mentioned the SDVS which is just around the corner from Asda. They have a list of local organisation that people can get involved in. I am...

Many people in Stafford are concerned about the environment and human rights and indeed wish to translate that concern into positive action. However I could not find a section devoted to this on the forum thus I thought it would be an idea to start one to get some POSITIVE ideas going. I am...

The typical strategy of the right-wing being unable to put a coherent argument together attack the person with juvenille remarks. If someone points out your facts are wrong you then claim you are talking about a specific person (LS) and yet then proceed to declare that any other person who is...

I retract my earlier apology as it appears I was mistaken some of you definelty do mean people who are sick and disabled..grrr....

With regards to the comments "that damonhoppe is either LS, one of LS's friends, someone really stupid (no offence meant) or just someone seriously trolling." is just a foolish effort to undermine the truth of the situation. I remind you that I was not the one who used the term 'benifit...
