It may be the last dregs of winter, but rebels across the South West are still out and about in their region, and others, to highlight the failure of this government to protect its citizens and the world from the climate and ecological crisis. There are no tomatoes in the shops because of the droughts across the EU last year and Olive oil producers have announced that the crop failures experienced in Spain and other olive growing countries will result in a 50% drop in olive oil availability worldwide. In the meantime, back in blighty the government continues to allow the water companies to dump sewage into our rivers and in Cornwall the River Fal has been covered in the New Scientist as being the most polluted river in the UK. And what are the UK government doing whilst the climate and ecological crisis unfolds around them? Sweet FA. Not much has changed in the behaviour of those in power. Imagine what 100,000 people working together could do from April 21st. Imagine you are one of them. Would change be unstoppable?
