New kids on the block

Two new blogs from stalwart Bristol Greens:

Stockwood Pete, from Peter Goodwin (who has a splash on the Temple Meads transport hub in the Evening Post this very day), and Rosso-Verde, by Nick Foster, St. George West candidate.

Both have a shaming (for me) feature on the blogrolls where the most neglected blogs sink to the bottom. If that's not an incentive to post more, I don't know what is...

Cry 'God For Harry, England and St. George!'

The near-collapse of global capitalism, the near-collapse of Gordon Brown, the opening of some shops in Bristol city centre: there's a lot going on at the moment. So I'll let you off if you're not yet up to speed with the St. George West byelection.

Sadly, Labour councillor John Deasy died suddenly last month. There will now be a contest to fill the vacant seat.

St. George West is easily the most underrated area of the city. In fact, it's a miracle that it hasn't already been overrun by members of the National Trust/National Childbirth Trust (delete as applicable). As the election approaches, I'll be bringing you some of the highlights of what you'll soon be calling the 'Poor Man's St. Andrews'.

Plus, the inside story of the election, featuring imploding Tories, 'local boys' from Chippenham, and much much more.

Polling day is October 9, and the Green Party candidate is the excellent Nick Foster.

a quick plug

Some shameless promotion here for an event coming up this Saturday.

Freshly re-elected Green Party Principal Male Speaker Derek Wall will be speaking this Saturday at Bristol's Green Future, a community day organised by Bristol Green Party at the Trinity Centre. Derek is a former resident of Greenbank, and his talk on 'Greening Bristol' is sure to be a highlight, but there's much more to the day, including workshops on community growing & permculture, transport, local politics, Transition Bristol, planning & housing, and alternative education, as well as apple pressing, tasty vegetarian food, and children's activities.
