Brown the Clown now needs to stand down and go.

His 10 years controlling the purse strings have wrecked this country.

Instead of wasting money on pointless projects he should have been saving up for this rainy day.

But its a case of “I’m alright Jack” I have a good job as PM, lots of money, No 10 DS why should I want to stand down.

“..so i dont care” about sums up why we’re in the mess we are – if people just sit around and whine instead of getting out making a difference (in whatever difference you would like it to be!) then perhaps your two lines might be worth reading.

Tory Boy, the ‘greenies’ want manufacturing to take off again in this country.

But Britain needs a manufacturing industry, which produces low-carbon technologies, rather than the fossil-fuel intensive technologies of the past.

If our leaders had vision and imagination, they would be investing in a green industrial revolution, changing our economy into a low-carbon one like Sweden’s.

Charles Darwin said, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”

Adapting to change is vital in the face of the challenge of climate change.

Low-carbon products will become increasingly popular with consumers as the scale of the challenge becomes harder to deny.

Do you not agree, Tory Boy?

I have adapted to change after reading widely on this subject and realising that the gulf between the challenge ahead and the progress we are making so far is enormous.

Joining the Green Party is one positive way that I have adapted to change.

When one considers the scale of the problem, one has to see that only politics is going to bring about the necessary changes, and that this process is going to be long and hard-fought.

Winning the debate is the key to change in a democratic society.

Becoming an advocate for the party has also helped me realise just how massively powerful the vested interests are, which oppose the voices of the green movement.

Sharon Beder’s excellent and highly readable book, Global Spin, has helped me understand who I’m up against in these Shropshire Star threads.

Individuals can take individual action, but only political action will bring about the massive changes we need across society.

When you give personal and credible information about yourself, Lucy W., I will do the same.

Until that unlikely moment, I would prefer to stick to discussing policies.
