Well done everyone! Your articles are being reposted on the Respect Supporters Blog and will be seen all around the world.

Glad you are having such good weather for the Peace walk.

Any chance of posting a picture or two?

Even if I cant be there my thoughts are with you all. Peace to this world.

"We set off this morning at 11.10. Very sunny. Mostly up hill today but gentle slopes to start off with. We left Hayfield at 3.10 and passed historic William Clough, the site of the Kinder mass trespass. Then Glossop is in sight - all down hill - sore feet. The dog was sick and had to be carried.

Arrived Glossop ay 5.30 to a warm welcome including banners and flags with a reception at the Labour Club.

Our being here results in a front page story in today's Glossop Advertiser."

down with negativism

one wonders why people such as billy taggart bother reading this stuff, let alone posting comments about it , but as the saying goes (to the best of my knowledge) thers nowt so queer as folk.

glad to hear that some peeps are making extra efforts and getting more publicity for the cause.

UNITY IS STRENGTH

you more than likely know this all ready, but just for a bit of moral support dont bother listening to the "GAINSAYERS"
