Hi Blueskies, sorry for the delay in coming back to you, I have been away. Thanks for the invite but I won't be able to make it. I look after the grandchildren during the week.

Thanks again.

I don't know why Seeker's post was deleted but, having seen the thread resurrected, I'd like to report that the People's Assembly was a great success.

In East London, we had a subsequent gathering of around 300 in Whitechapel, and our local group is up and running. The idea is to bring together like-minded left-of-centre people who are dissatisfied with the poor representation given to those (and there are many) who feel that there are alternatives to the current austerity policies that are impacting ordinary people rather than those who caused the financial crisis.

I realise that Nonu but I wondered in what way. It appears there are several posts by Sunseeker that have been deleted on other threads.

I think kt's Seeker's threads that have been deleted, not sunseeker's. Unless they are one and the same?

It is just seekers posts that were deleted. They seemed to be trying to start up lots of different silly political parties!
Very silly
And worse, very boring!

True, Galen! And I think there was a bit of "own blog promoting" going on too, which is against the rules.
