An open letter to #RealisationFestival

The Earl of Shaftesbury must return Lough Neagh.

When will he stop the sand dredging and transfer ownership?

He must publish the contracts & support a Citizens Assembly.

No more greenwash!

Proscription of Palestine Action 'disproportionate', judges rule
The high court upheld two grounds of challenge, including that the ban was a disproportionate interference with the right to freedom of expression and freedom of assembly.
BREAKING - WE HAVE WON!

Following a successful Judicial Review brought by Huda Ammori, and a sustained campaign of defiance by defend our juries leading to almost 3,000 ‘terror’ arrests, the ban on Palestine Action has been ruled unlawful in the courts.

The slashing of climate aid is planned despite warnings from the UK’s spy chiefs that the collapse of #ecosystems such as the Amazon or the Congo would inflict serious damage on national security, including soaring food prices and the risk of war.

Put an end to Arms Fairs & Arms Trade!!!

All weapons on sale at NEC are used to kill & injure innocent civilians & children

Instead our taxes should be funding health care, social care & education…..to provide real security, not the false security offered by defence industry

“The net result of flawed economic advice is complacency amongst investors & policymakers. There’s a tendency in certain govt depts to trivialise the impacts of climate on the economy so as to avoid making difficult choices today. This is a big problem – the consequences of delay are catastrophic.”
