Grill the Greens
1st October 2008
South Tyneside Green Party is holding a "Green Q and A" meeting, where the public can grill South Tyneside's Green Party parliamentary candidates Shirley Ford and Bryan Atkinson. The event will be held at Ocean Road Community Centre on Wednesday 8th October at 7pm. Discussion topics will include sustainable economics, free school meals, free home insulation for all and the impact of the Green Party's decision to elect a leader for the first time.
Bryan, Green Party parliamentary candidate for Jarrow and Hebburn said:
"People have become disillusioned with politics and politicians. This is partly because the spin and slick PR of the grey parties has replaced ideology and conviction."
"The Green Party wants to re-ignite genuine old fashioned grassroots debate with radical new ideas about issues that truly affect people."
Shirley, Green Party parliamentary candidate for Shouth Shields said:
"The grey parties have sat at the helm of the economy while it crashed. The Green Party offers a Green New Deal in response to these difficulties to transform our economy and society into a gift fit for our children."
