A message off tricky Nick Clegg

Dear Joseph,

Today I announced that, for the first time, the British people will have a choice about the system they use to elect their MPs.

On May 5th 2011, there will be a referendum on whether to adopt the Alternative Vote.

What happened to PR Nick your Boyfriend not Struck on that one? Your members must be squirming.

Are the cracks starting to show,are the Liberal Democrats starting to realise they are nothing more than the tory fall guys?

Lib Dem rebels in secret talks with Labour on tactics to block Budget

Simmering opposition poses first major threat to the coalition Liberal Democrat rebels have secretly agreed to co-operate with Labour MPs to try to tone down some of the more contested elements of George Osborne’s first Budget.

A senior Lib Dem MP confirmed that a number of disgruntled colleagues had “talked tactics” with Labour opponents over the possibility of at least obstructing key measures, including the increase in the rate of VAT from 17.5 to 20 per cent.

The discussions over co-ordinated “surgical strikes” on the Finance Bill, which will pass the Budget proposals into law, increase the risk of political embarrassment as Mr Osborne’s emergency proposals become bogged down in Parliament. Labour hopes the guerrilla warfare against the Budget will destabilise the coalition

SALFORD PEAT PROTESTERS INNOCENT. Full story taken from the Salford Star local news from Mr Kingston in Real Time.

PEEL PEAT PROTESTERS `NOT GUILTY’ A judge at Salford Magistrates Court has just passed `not guilty’ verdicts on two campaigners, Iain Hilton and Sonny Khan, who, back in April, chained themselves to machinery at the Peel Holding owned peat bog extraction site on Chat Moss. The verdict thrilled supporters who gathered outside Salford Magistrates Court this morning “Even a restraining order was rejected” said Christine Smith “They were found `not guilty’ and it’s great.” Full story here…

Iain Hilton and Sonny Khan were charged under Section 4a(1) & (5) of the 1986 Public Order Act for allegedly causing intentional harassment, alarm or distress against employees of Joseph Metcalfe Horticultural Ltd and AW Jenkinson Forest Products Ltd for their part in a peaceful protest on Thursday 15th April 2010. Today, at Salford Magistrates Court they were found `not guilty’. Sonny Khan was alleged to have climbed on top of a JCB digger to prevent it loading peat into a delivery lorry. Iain Hilton was accused of climbing on top of the same lorry to prevent it leaving the site and delivering peat extracted from Chat Moss. The two defendants from the groups Manchester Climate Action and Earth First! North West were protesting against the environmental impacts of peat extraction – which causes 3 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year in the UK according to Natural England  – the equivalent to the average emissions of 350,000 households. Back in April the Salford Star interviewed Iain live during the protest (click here). “They were supporting the anti peat extraction campaign that our group was running and while the charge amounts aggravated trespass, it was nothing like that at all” said Jackie Anderson from Save Our North West Green Belt before the hearing. “They behaved in a peaceful manner” she added “Their aims were clear, to have a peaceful protest and to stop work at the plant for the day. So to bring a case like this against them is completely inappropriate. And it’s against all rights for peaceful protest which they should be allowed to do in Salford.” The Save Our North West Green Belt campaign is supported by Salford Green Party, the Independents on Salford Council, and Friends of the Earth. The campaign to end peat extraction on Chat Moss is also supported by The Lancashire Wildlife Trust and Natural England. There are currently three planning applications to continue peat extraction at Chat Moss awaiting permission from Salford Council, and the date for getting objections in has been extended, so there is still time. The hearing is on 9th August. Meanwhile there are also two planning applications for peat extraction on the Moss waiting to go before Wigan Council and campaigners are urging people to object to these too.

Not guilty great news perhaps there is some common sense within our system. Is this the way forward direct action.

We went today to support them and we got the result we were looking for,well done to all concerned.

Have a quick look and tell me what you see, a house? what i see is a friend who lost every thing he ever had with no help his house went bach to the bank. Get used to it because under the Con/Dems it will be the first of many.

70% of £8bn raised from cuts to come from women

• Union warns strikes ‘inevitable’ if cuts go ahead
  

Yvette Cooper claims the Coalition’s emergency budget is the worst for women since the creation of the welfare state

Women are set to bear the brunt of the Coalition’s budget cuts, with the majority of the £8billion raised from tax and benefit changes to come from female taxpayers.

Research commissioned by shadow welfare secretary Yvette Cooper showed that £6billion – more than 70 per cent – of the revenue raised will come from women and just £2billion from men.

The revelation prompted Miss Cooper to label the budget measures as the ‘fiercest attack on family support in the history of the welfare state.’
