Despite previously advertising in the last couple of weeks that the south east regional
neo-Labour was/is holding its annual conference in Tory leader M.Howard's constituency
of Folkestone in Kent this weekend no groups(political,NGO,T,Union) have been bothered
to turn up to demo/protest outside.
Only a couple of locals bothered, one highlighting the seal cull issue,the other raising
CND and other anti war/anti capitalist issues.
Was it really too much to ask for others to attend to raise their issues at such an
event?
Why is it that I can travel to London etc to join demos for CND,Stop the War or whatever
but no-one can be bothered to come down this way to support local protests?
I couldn't provide a local contact point due to circumstances but doews that really
matter?- what ever happened to spontaneous direct action ?
The conference (at the Leas Cliff Hall ) continues tomorrow but the weather MAY be wet
unforunately.
However, after this experience I am now seriously reconsidering whether I can be
bothered anymore to attend events in London etc- after all why should I continue to
attend those when no-one can be bothered to lend a hand locally ??
