So has their time come?

 

In the communal space that is called 'Kindness Cafe'  Hannah Spencer made an unexpected appearance.  The Greens had decided to make a play for nine other wards in Calderdale for the council votes this week and so had arranged a meeting a couple of days before.

She is really a 'slip of a girl' still flying high on a win.  Probably going to upset some apple carts in Westminster, she reckons they hate her anyway.  Is she 'fragrant' Cro, I don't know didn't get close enough to sniff;).

If, when the history books are written, will they make note that an uprising of Green fellowship started up in the Grim North.  Did the ghost ancestors of weavers in the 19th century rise up in the chests of the people attending Hannah's lightening visit.

The meeting rooms of the large Northern towns were full of the proletariat who spoke up in the 19th century, are we now seeing the same with the chant 'tax the rich'?  Yes governments are breaking down  in the forms we see today across the world.  People are taking to the streets and marching once again for  the cash to be laid out a bit more fairly.  For justice and an end to the cruelty of war.  Changing times indeed.

But what I do know that it was a well attended meeting - 60 plus - young and old, Fedora hats and all and she was received enthusiastically and clapped into place.  She has a great burden on her shoulders, from newbie plasterer and plumber she must take the banner of the Green Party and head, with Zac Polanski of course, to carve out a much kinder country.

I note here by the way that there is a witch hunt out on Zac, he is Jewish as well, so you would think the right wing media could get their bloody ducks in a row!

Who do I get cross about, well for a start all those people playing the money markets without one miserly thought as to how the rest of the world is doing. 

There is this woman who lives in Dubai and owns 60 houses back in England which she rents out.  These rentiers are having to learn that throwing people out on the streets is not an option.

Yes that one is for my grandson Ben, who had a flurry of worry last week when that woman, through her agency asked them to leave, the upcoming Rent Bill which arrived on Monday saw to that.  Ben and his fellow lodgers, two I think, though one was leaving, are paying somewhere around £4000 a month rent, yes she keeps increasing it.  They can stay as long as another lodger is found.

Reminds you of George Orwell's  'The Road to Wigan's Pier.' doesn't it?

  

Only a green member could have a good Chihuahua tucked under his arm.  Not a very good photo, but no worries, I am selling my complicated Bridge camera and getting an instant camera soon....
