None from SWP/Respect either. Saw tons of vegan ones though! Which is great as it's good to see them active!Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530489078188780416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30598467.post-53988364891494457092008-12-08T01:18:00.000+00:002008-12-08T01:18:00.000+00:00Thanks for posting on this, Jim.

Before I read your post, I had just commented on Socialist Unity that "Nick Clegg was a considerable flop. It was like he hadn’t thought through what he was going to say until he was up on stage and then, whilst up there, decided he had very little to say."<BR/><BR/>The contrast with Caroline Lucas and John McDonnell's powerful speeches was striking - both committed themselves impressively to non-violent direct action to stop the Heathrow third runway. <BR/><BR/>If you're looking for LibDems to say nice things about, then the contrast with Chris Huhne's speech to last year's demo was also very striking. Huhne spoke very knowledgeably & well, and seemed to have the political nous to strike the right tone. I'd say the LibDems picked the wrong guy.Strategisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519305659966338395noreply@blogger.com
