This morning I was out with some UAF colleagues, handing out leaflets and talking to voters at local shopping parades in Crawley. So far most of those involved are also involved in political parties which doesn’t really work, because any anti-BNP campaignign we do is time we could have spent campaigning for our own parties. […]

Pigeon for dinner
May 5th, 2007 · 3 Comments · Life
This evening I took the family out for a meal, and we went to Zari’s in Ifield. It was partly to unwind after all the exertions of electioneering and partly to thank the kids for all their help. We had been there before, but this was the first time since their recent refurbishment. The place […]

I recently heard about something which has really annoyed me. Our girl has a friend whose sister goes to Manor Green College as a year 9 pupil. Manor Green is a brilliant school. Our boy goes there and has benefitted greatly from it. The school is for children with learning disabilities and is the result […]

Child poverty in Crawley
August 17th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Politics
The other day Antonia wrote about some statistics released by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, with particular emphasis (obviously) on how they apply to Oxford. Just as obviously I could not resist looking them up to see how the JRF think we are doing in Crawley. It is worth mentioning something first about how the figures […]

The oxygen of publicity
April 24th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Politics
There is a big debate about how to treat the BNP, running alongside the debate about why they are getting what support they do, and how to tackle that in the longer-term.
Postal votes confusion
April 21st, 2006 · Comments Off on Postal votes confusion · Politics
This is an example of a postal vote ballot form, correctly delivered (and correctly filled out). It could be a bit of a rarity in Crawley. Its also proof that I did vote for the Mrs. Apparently there have been reports of postal votes being sent out with no ballot paper in, two ballot papers […]
Unite against fascists – some signs of life!

I had a phone call this evening from a member of the Crawley Campaign Against Racism. Because of his position there, he often gets delivered stuff intended for the UAF and usually calls me about it. I thought this was going to be another of those phone calls, but it wasn’t.
Campaigning in earnest
March 25th, 2006 · Comments Off on Campaigning in earnest · Politics
We had a great campaigning event today. There must have been 30 people at the community centre in Broadfield. We sent a couple of groups out to Ifield and Southgate, but sent even more out in Broadfield. A few members from other towns which do not have elections came along as well, and its always […]

BNP Activity in Crawley
March 18th, 2006 · Comments Off on BNP Activity in Crawley · Politics
The BNP have been delivering some especially nasty leaflets in Crawley recently. Copies have been sent to the Town Hall and to Sussex police, as some recipients feel that they are offensive enough to be illegal under electoral and normal laws.
