Not in Our Name

In just two weeks the BNP will be taking their seats in the European Parliament. We need to send the strongest possible message that they are not there in our name.

Over 80,000 people have already done just this by signing Hope Not Hate’s ‘Not in my Name’ petition. Hope Not Hate needs your help to make sure that over 100,000 have signed this petition by the time the BNP go to Strasbourg.

Hope Not Hate have set up a simple tool to let you do this – please invite your friends to join the campaign:

They need your help in showing that Griffin and Brons don’t repeat us – that they don’t speak for Britain.

Hope Not Hate are currently organising who they are going to hand their petition in to at the European Parliament on 14^th July and want to make sure that as many people as possible have signed the petition before then.

Vestas Wind Turbine Plant Closure

As you may know, the Vestas corporation is planning to close the only factory making wind turbines in Britain, on the Isle of Wight. There is now a campaign among local people on the island and Vestas workers to save the Vestas plant. This will save 600 jobs. More than that, it matters to them because it matters to the planet.

They have asked for emails from individuals and organisations expressing support. The address is savevestas@gmail.com. PLEASE DO THIS as soon as you can. Just tell them briefly who you are and what you feel. It will be important in giving them confidence and courage. Please do it now and ask your friends and colleagues to do it too.

We will never halt climate change without wind power. We need thousands of wind turbine plants, not none.
