Green Party of England and Wales

Mark, I know a lot of us (white working class people) are turning to the BNP, but we need to change that. I hope that we are not solely an environmental party. I think I said 'alternative' not 'equivalent'.

I'm not being pedantic, but the Greens being an "environmentalist party" is a media trope. We are actually an ecologically based socially radical party! Look up the difference between ecologism and environmentalism....

We need this woman. She's good.

Whilst not disagreeing with the basic tenet of the article I would just like to say that there are some men who are also single parents and who, because they put their children's priorities at least on a par with, and usually ahead of, their own are equally disadvantaged. My days of intensive child rearing are almost over, but my income has been slashed by the recession, and, because of my age (another employment issue that affects both genders equally), will probably never be restored.

Vandana Shiva come to my mind.

Nigel i'm merely pointing out that there are loads of volcanoes and cows giving off gasses into the atmosphere which are not man-made (and no i'm not going to be politically correct and say 'human made'). Also polar regional ice is melting as are glaciers and yet these regions of 'permanant' ice don't have much of a carbon footprint.
And if we had ... Read morean ice age which cooled down then perhaps we are simply seeing the remaining ice ebb slowley away as a combined result of natural gasses and huge human induced emissions.
As for heat islands, it may help if Mexico city council used eco-policies, then we'll be in a better state.

Thanks, Scott and Mark, for answering my questions. Lots of useful stuff to know.

I was stuck inside a Virgin train with a bike the other and couldn't get my bike off it! The bike compartment can only be opened to the platform by a conductor. They don't like you getting off once you're on!

Sorry chaps, I travelled from Littlehampton to Salisbury by train, changing twice (at Ford & Southhampton) and located the bicycle storage areas perfectly/with no hassle, except for last train, which only had 2 carrages, so used empty disabled bay! Travelled at a reasonable time (13:00 - 15:00) and only cost £25.50 return!!! PDG, I reckon!

In France the police who are all armed use a method of intimidation where by they grab their gun holster and stare at you as fiercely as they can. i have experiecned this in march this year in an area where there had been a anachist march a week earlier.

COLD FEAR .. it certainly lets you know who is in charge...

Are the police saying that it is to dangerous to walk the street in certain areas without a Gun

i think this adds to the fear and paranoia and substantialy escalates the problem, Sadly Labour want more of this, mabe its a distraction from the economy.

it's a matter of mixing at home. how easy is it to say "hi there"but thats all. we in rsa are doing just that

To be honest its better for them to be on tv so people can have a proper debate to let the public know how disgusting their policies are rather than just leave them where people might vote for them not knowing what they actually stand for, and what they are voting for...

ice person maybe? ;-)

Ice Man! I didn't think Mandelson had anything to do with Brussels these days? ;)

Hmmm. And what publicity stunt would this be? GPEW should be only legitamate eco-group in England. Rest of them should be taught a lesson in not committing vandalism.

like most things take away the demand, problem sorted. Eat less fish.

how many houses can you build for 160 billion?

A 1 million

b 1.5 million... Read more

c 1.6 million

d enough to solve the current housing crisis

No wonder the cops feel the need to carry guns

A free economy is what is needed and those companies that are eco-friendly should be rewarded.
