Our Windmill Hill Ward. Which issues are particularly important to you? The Greens in Bristol. Saturday, June 20, 2015. Why Suits Don’t Suit Greens. So who is right? Should Greens be wearing suits? But there is a deeper problem. Of course, wearing jeans and a t shirt does not make you working class and does not automatically engender the trust of the working class (the opposite may be true). But accepting the status quo and donning suits is to accept and reinforce the desirability of being middle cla...

Deb Joffe : December 2014

Our Windmill Hill Ward. Which issues are particularly important to you? The Greens in Bristol. Monday, December 1, 2014. Why You Need Social Justice and Sustainable Living. Everyone wants pretty much the same things in life. Most of us want to feel safe, with food on the table and a secure, pleasant home. We want love and we want happiness and we want freedom. How do we achieve such things for everyone? We may not achieve this goal 100% but it is nonetheless what we need to be striving for. There may...

The Blogonian (Bristol's Election 2006): 24 April 2005
http://theblogonian.blogspot.com/2005_04_24_archive.html
The Blogonian (Bristol's Election 2006). Election rubbish from Bristol. Saturday, April 30, 2005. Local elections: the first four wards. This ward is part of what were the inner city Labour heartlands along with Easton and Lawrence Hill. However a procession of incompetent and lazy Labour councillors starting with Ray Sefia and continuing with Horrible Helga Benson and non-entity Dudley Saward have turned this into a prime Lib Dem target. The Green candidate is again David Simpson. He’s been ineffect...

Stockwood Pete: A Mail Mystery
http://stockwoodpete.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-mail-mystery.html
Green perspectives on Stockwood and Bristol. Mostly. Friday, 3 April 2015. We've all seen a marked deterioration in the postal service. Higher charges, less collections, less deliveries, less staff to do the job. I think it's called 'efficiency savings'. Today, among the junk mail on our doormat, was this envelope:. Inside it was a letter we'd posted to London on 1st February. A conspiracy theorist might even believe there was more to it; a letter addressed to a radical bookshop might have less chance of...

Stockwood Pete: June 2014
http://stockwoodpete.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Green perspectives on Stockwood and Bristol. Mostly. Saturday, 28 June 2014. An undeserved rescue for HorseWorld? It looks like HorseWorld's bodged up attempt to sell off its visitor centre site in Whitchurch for development may not be totally dead – in spite of being turned down by BaNES. The perpetrators may yet be rescued from the hole they dug themselves into. On 10. What HorseWorld would do with the windfall is anybody's guess. Would they revisit their expensively prepared scheme for a new Visit...
