The Green Party are almost as impoverished as me, and their HQ is overcrowded, draughty and generally crap. They definately need to move to a better space, but seeing as we don't take donations from corporate policy makers, we have to make do with subscriptions, and they don't stretch to rent for swanky HQ buildings.

You'll be proud to know I just had a read of the Green Party's website. Very convincing, in a rose coloured sort of way.


I was especially keen to find out what the party thinks about population growth. It seems to suggest the number of children one chooses is 'personal choice'. But then dances around the issue of 'too many people' and 'overcrowded, overstretched planet'.


You've four children, which is your free choice wholeheartedly supported by your party. Is there a conversation to be had about how many is too many?

Were Labour or the Tories faced with such an issue they'd go and 'borrow' a pile of cash from persons unstated who live outside the UK. That's far more sleazy but requires real journalism which the Metro and its parent, the Standard Evening don't do.


Maurice, do you know Louisa?

Maurice - I am finding it very hard to ignore you rantings particularly when you train them in the same directions every time. CWALD hasn't done anything to you so why must you keep attacking her? I find it really distasteful. For such a 'traditionalist' you lack chivalry instead you're more akin to amisogynist.


Get a life, get an interest, for **** sake and rejoice! You remind me of Alf Garnet character who has forgotten to take prozac. Even if CWALD doesn't object to what you say I do.

What about a large marquee - in a field - in the countryside - with wind-up telephones and holes in the ground to poo in? That would be quite environmentally friendly, I do believe.

Dom - but the Green Party like to promote localism, so all that travelling to and from the field would have to be a no no.


Downsouth - Thank you for your gallant rescue, but I did accuse Mr Mo of having Asperger's, so I suppose he has some excuse to get personal.

I think he's just like one of those shy little boys in the playground who can't tell you that they have a crush on you, so they run up and pull your hair or push you or something. Only problem with that though, is that girls like me lacked the sensitivity to suss this out and beat the crap out of them instead.

Hyde Parke? St James's? Dulwich Park? When I said 'field' I meant green space generally so am happy to accept the above locations. I mean, there is a city-farm at Vauxhall within spitting distance of the MI6 building (it's true - I used to go there at lunch when I worked locally and would speak to the horses, pigs and wildfowl).


Anyway CWALD, I have a crush on you too, but don't want to pull your pigtails as that would be crewell!!!

    • Looks like they do recognise a trades union USDAW - Sainsbury’s and Usdaw sign a new national agreement to improve trade union organising and representation within the business
    • Trees are great - I plant and raise my own and petition the council to look at damaged specimens and plant more - but they need to be tended to when they’re in non-woodland spaces. I encourage all those who have a strong liking for trees to plant them, grow from seed etc. - much better for all than tapping on keypads. 
    • Would they keep until Christmas?
    • As a customer of DKH I have sympathy with the staff but this a matter for their trade union to address. The law states that temperatures in the workplace must be “reasonable”, and adds guidance that a reasonable minimum temperature is 16C for sitting down jobs like checkouts or 13C for physical work like packing and stacking.  The law also states that there must be easily readable thermometers installed in the workplace so that staff can check the temperature. When I still worked, these would be mercury thermometers red-lined at 16C, so staff knew when it was permissible to stop work if they were uncomfortable. However, I always worked in trade union represented jobs. I suspect (but certainly don’t know) that a lot of Sainsbury’s staff these days don’t bother to join the union, so are not protected (please put me right if you know otherwise).  In any workplace, you either take collective action to improve things or just accept the conditions imposed on you. If staff are in a union, they need to take a hand in making sure the union and its reps do their job in representing them.
