"The Green Party is becoming a dustbin, a repository not only for climate activists but for disgruntled hard leftists leaving the Labour Party, and some fairly unpleasant Free Palestine activists as well."
Peter Mandelson to Matt Chorley on Times Radio, yesterday
@fkamiah17 I work in a market town in rural Gloucestershire. A Tory heartland in the shires. I'm engaged with the local community and a small business owner. Like many other Green Party members in our district we stood for election and won 22 seats. We are now the largest group at Stroud District Council.
So, for Mandelson to say that “The Green Party is becoming a dustbin, a repository not only for climate activists, but for disgruntled hard leftists." makes me think that he is so far out of touch with the ethos of the Green Party and the concerns of the electorate that his opinion is completely irrelevant. Maybe it is Mr Mandelson who should be consigned to the dustbin of history?
A phenomenal turn out today at the trinity rooms to discuss how we, as a community can work together to make our town safe from the creeping fascist agenda.
Meticulously planned by hardworking and talented people from The RYSE, CSSD, Stroud District Together with Refugees and of course SAR.
We will make sure to share some of the outcomes from the meeting once we have all had time to go through the notes.
A fabulous way to ensure we all enjoy a Fascist Free Stroud!!

Thank you both! I'm writing a story set on the hills above #Stroud, England - where a tree is 'decorated in memory of people's dogs. I'd like to tie it to the #WishingTree myths and see what comes out...
We boaters are a mixed bunch and were rather surprised to see the village roads closed for a week for resurfacing a few weeks ago because they were in good condition, unlike many of the other roads around and about.
