Both my OH and I have signed the petition on line. Thanks Dan for prompting us.  Will also be writing a letter to Ken Livingstone. So sickening!  >:( busy_lizzie

I've had this done to me before, so I understand the feelings of the allotmenteers.

I've written to Ken Livingstone and, apart from registering my disgust at this proposal, reminded him that the site in question is probably teeming with newts - that ought to make him think....

[norfolklass]

[Mrs Ava]

Have sign the petition thank you so much for letting me know it's  a disgrace the goverment have a legal obligation to provide allotments in law they just seem to keep forgetting the fact
the other point is if you have spent years tending fruit trees etc you can't just move out the way for six years and then move back when they have finish maddness

It's just another example of the breathtaking arrogance of these people - WE voted them in and now they are in they are refusing to listen to us.

Not starting a political debate there...but imagine how those of us who didn't vote them in feel!!!  ::) x

As a historian from a working class background I always vote... after such a struggle to get it. Started voting in the Thatcher Years and had the distinction of reaching 42 before any of my votes at any level actually helped return a candidate
There was some excellent graffiti in Leeds in the early 80's my favourite was "Don't Vote, it only encourages them!"

Politicans only listen when they are not in power

Not continuing political debate ( ;D) but I was using "WE" in a kind of generic "power to the people" kind of way ;D....... I voted because after reading about what the Suffragettes went through to get woman the vote I think it's incredibly important that we use the rights they won for us all, BUT I've never voted for Phony Tony & his band of self-serving lunatics!

In fact none of them in the Embankment Lunatic Asylum inspire me at all
:(. I'm sure they all start off with noble ambitions and principles but it all seems to disappear along the way somehow.

Phony Tony & his band of self-serving lunatics!

This made me laugh tabby, well said! ;D (PS I always vote too, as a woman it just feels a bit ungrateful not to!) x

[Heckenschwein]

[RSJK]

yes, about 5 mins before I posted the message.  It said it was going to send me an e-mail, but that hasn't turned up yet ... maybe its on go slow.  I've just checked the listing and a new name has been added, but not me.  Will check again tomorrow and maybe try it again if its not worked.
