Manchester’s climate activists should, in MCFly’s humble (cough cough) opinion, be making more strenuous and systematic efforts to get “the message” across via the letters page of the Manchester Evening News. The message – of urgency, of the near-total ineptitude of official “efforts” thus far and of the need for genuine grassroots action is one that cannot be said too often. This example, published on Weds 3rd October and submitted Sam Darby of Manchester Green Party, is a really good one.
DISCLAIMER: MCFly will continue to say very rude (but hopefully truthful) things about all political parties.

Marc,You are too kind (cough ,cough). Seriously though, I noticed on Friday I think, that there were two letters that mentioned climate change and did not appear to be from freaks like us. One was from someone complaining about bus lanes causing pollution. Hopefully we are not as isolated as we fear, or have our letters been, as Lenin said of ISKRA “the spark that lights the prairie fire”.
