Hello, I know this isn't an ED business, but I was looking for a place that sold reclaimed wood and discovered this fantastic place run by the Shaw Trust, which supports disabled or disadvantaged people back to work, or with training, and thought it could do with a bit of a plug, and I don't think there's anything like it in our neck of the woods. The people were so friendly, and we saw the workshop where they make thing snd develop new skills, it was like being in the countryside (it practically is) and there's a small ruin to look at too! (The moated remains of Elizabeth I's spymaster's house - Francis Walsingham). The timber was cheaper than it would be from somewhere like B&Q - we got old scaff planks - and i thought people might be interested in knowing about this for garden projects etc etc. It's the Bromley Wood Recycling Project and they could do with more customers!!! Phone/e-mail them before you go to check their stock.

  Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

  Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

  That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

  TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves. I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
