ACTION SATURDAY in NORWICH SOUTH - ELECTION SPECIAL

SATURDAY 23rd MAY: 10am to 6pm, at 27 Clarendon Road, Norwich NR2 2PN.

Can you spare a couple of hours or more to help with election canvassing at our next pre-election Action Saturday, only 2 weeks away from polling day?

If so, help is needed throughout the day with door-knocking and there is also lots of leafleting to be done. Please come along and support us if you can - to achieve success at both the local county and European elections on June 4th, we need your help to get our message across on the doorstep. A successful campaign would be a huge boost for the General Election campaign too.

Refreshments are provided for helpers, including a vegetarian/vegan lunch between 1 and 2pm.

We hold a monthly Action Saturday, usually on the second Saturday of every month, which concentrates ordinarily on one ward in the Norwich South constituency. This month, however, we will be working in a number of wards, all of which are important wards for the Green Party in Norwich (in which we either already hold city council seats or have a great chance - with a lot of help and hard work - of breaking through into a new ward). As the June elections fast approach it is therefore important that we do as much door-knocking here as possible, in order to secure the vote - there is lots of support here to build on!

Our base for the day in Norwich - 27 Clarendon Road - is just off Unthank Road and a short walk from the city centre. It is also served by the no. 25 bus from Norwich train station.  The door-knocking and leafleting sessions start at 10am and 2pm, and it would be helpful if you could arrive at one of these times if possible. You will be given plenty of support and guidance on the day, particularly if you haven't been door-knocking before.

For more information, directions, or to offer your help, please e-mail
ngpvolunteers@yahoo.co.ukor phone (01603) 611909.
Emergency number to call on the day if there are any problems or you need help with directions: 07840 040058.

PLEASE ALSO GET IN TOUCH IF YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP US OUT ON POLLING DAY ITSELF, THURSDAY JUNE 4TH - THIS REALLY DOES MAKE A BIG IMPACT ON HOW WELL WE PERFORM.

It would be great to see you there to help us make the breakthrough in the Eastern region to the European parliament - and also new gains in the local election to ensure a louder Green voice in Norwich and Norfolk.

Medialens under the lens, over Syria and Libya: Becoming the new Dave Sparts?

I have long been an active supporter of Medialens ( http://www.medialens.org/ ). Like many others, I have supported them with money, time, tips, and I have been proud to have done so. For they have done very important groundbreaking work over the years challenging the inanities and distortions of the 'mainstream' media. They have for example written important critiques of mainstream media coverage of dangerous climate change, of Iraq Body Count, of the corporate nature of most of our media, and much more besides. They have held the corporate media to account time and again. They ought to be saluted for all of that. It is therefore with a sense of deep regret (as well as of some foreboding) that I have finally to write to address the ways in which, lately, some of the wheels seem to be coming off their wagon. An early warning sign perhaps was their long-running spat with George Monbiot, over the Rwandan genocide and the terrible atr...

Reasonable manners, in the blogosphere

Dear readers of Rupert's Read; One thing I am pleased about about this blog is that when we have had debates or disagreements here, they have virtually always been good-tempered. Because the norm out there in the blogosphere is often not like that. Take 'Comment is Free', for example, on the Guardian Unlimited site: the level of debate on CIF is pretty awful, frankly, in terms of civility. It is a very unpleasant place to take part in any debate, generally, unless perhaps (as most commenters do) one hides behind the veil of anonymity (which 'ain't allowed' here). And the truth is, in case any fellow commenters reading this don't realise it, that there are many many people who get put off even reading (let alone posting to) CIF because of the volume of plain nasty comments that they risk getting, when they do. I am slightly singling out CIF here, because I believe that this is actually one of the worst places on the blogosphere in terms of this kind of ...
