Default G20 leaders will face mass protests

We have an opportunity to come together in our thousands next month to say “Put People First”.

That’s the slogan around which the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has helped initiate a coalition involving unions, leading charities and anti-poverty campaigns.

It has called a march on Saturday 28 March, just days before Gordon Brown will host a summit meeting of the G20 leaders in London.
The march will kick off a series of protests. The Stop the War Coalition and others are ­planning protests later the same week over Nato plans to escalate the war in Afghanistan.

The protests against the G20 are an opportunity for us to make it clear working people should not have to pay for a crisis manufactured in Wall Street, the City of London and corporate board rooms.

Whether we are in work, studying, unemployed or simply concerned about global poverty and injustice this is a chance to unite around the three central demands of the protest – decent jobs and public services for all, an end to global poverty and inequality and for a green economy.
The demonstrations will bring together workers from many different backgrounds in a show of international solidarity.

Together we can make it clear that we need a stand against an assault on our jobs, wages, conditions and pensions.

Default At least with the SWP their heart is in the right place.

As A Conservative Social Democrat (CSD) - probably the only one on the planet, I would like to point out one small detail to the SWP if I may.


PSSSSt

(wispering in an almost hard to hear quiet voice)

Land & Sea Plants need CO2 to grow, the land plants take in the CO2 through the stomata openings in their leaves, if the level of CO2 is lowered - how will plants grow to provide us with FOOD?

And Where do we get your primary source of eco friendly FOOD from?

PLANTS!

As CO2 is simply NOT the cause of "Global Warming" because in fact since 2005 the Earth has been cooling - why cut CO2 - costing Millions of Jobs?

Why not have a sustainable and of course "Green" aproach - which should create lots of jobs and of course be responsible users of resorces - but to go on about a "low CO2 future" is flawed in that it is built on the bogus idea that CO2 is causing "Global Warming".



4000 BC it was 2 degrees warmenr than 2005.

Since 2005 the Earth has cooled despite many of the readings being taken at airports & in inner cities (which always are warmer than the surrounding country)


We have had two industrial revolutions since 4000 BC.


If you are concerned about CO2 - then create jobs to plant more trees to ofset any CO2 you think may be a problem - but it is not the CO2 which is the biggest problem - it is the other none biologically fiendly pollutions, destruction of species, the polution of the seas, poor use of renewable sources of ENERHY such as Wind, Sun & WAVE powe and of course something you hear absolutely NOTHING about - the reduced Oxygen concentration in some areas (see Japan).
