Tasmin Omond

Tasmin Omond quits the limelight for the JSA (if she knew what that was)

Tamsin Omond... who the ? is she. Well google came in handy for that. Yet another privileged upperclass type who`s familly owns loads of stolen land.
Sick to bits of seeing this person, true you cant help where you been born but might be good if she asked Baronet Grand-papa to give the fucking land back.

Stop with the media one Swampy was enough.

NO LEADERS REAL OR OTHERWISE

Tamsin's OK

10.09.2009 16:41

Tamsin has been one of the most inspiration leaders of the anti-aviation direct action protest. OK – you’re right, most of them are from the upper strata of the middle-class but that doesn’t mean that they cannot make a contribution.

Product Description

Review

'This is a brilliant book about the making of a political activist. For anyone who has ever dreamed of turning their frustrations and beliefs into practical action - this is for you.' --Rosie Boycott

'The climate crisis needs a response from across society if we are to get our governments to take the urgent action necessary to curb spiralling greenhouse emissions. This story about one woman's decision to be part of the solution rather than the problem will hopefully inspire many others to similar levels of creativity, commitment and protest.' --Caroline Lucas - Green Party MEP

Product Description

When Tamsin Omond left university she had no idea that within a year she would be up on the roofs of Parliament, breaking the law for her beliefs about climate change. Rush! The Making of a Climate Activist is a candid account of her journey from directionless student to wannabe priest to poster girl for the green movement. Join her as she takes her first steps in Climate Camp, gets arrested with Plane Stupid and leads a thousand-strong rush at Parliament; then read the DIY guide and get involved. From the excitement of Obama s inauguration day to braving police violence at the G20, from the glamour of nearly becoming eco Spice to breaking bail and facing two months in Holloway, Rush is one girl s response to the frightening reality of climate change, and a call to arms for a generation looking for something to believe in. This is her story, make it yours!

"eco-spice" - shit the bed...

oh dear...

Well it looks like Tamsin is becoming a bit of a media whore( not in a sexist way) and this sort of thing can only split the movement. What would be best is if real activists turned over her tables at book signings etc

Goodness the police don't even have to do their jobs any more people on indymedia do it for them, no wonder the general public laughs in the face of climate activists and leftists. You're all too busy infighting and nit picking it's a coppers wet dream.

The book seems to be aimed at introducing young women to environmentalism and to gender activism. It's sure as fuck not aimed at me, but there's more'n one kind of fish in the sea, more than one kind of activist. Uk has 2 million jobless at the moment because the forces of financial capitalism have chewed us for long enough and decided it was time to spit us out. Half of those 2mil are under 25 and half of them, I guess, are women. Anything which gets young women active, now especially - what with Copenhagen coming, the Tories on their way, the bonuses, mergers and profiteering returning to their obscene levels, the renewable energy sector collapsing, waves of extremism across Europe and still no sign of equality between the sexes - seems like a good plan to me.

Sometimes all it takes to bring people out of their daily stupor and standard brainwashed rhythms is to be confronted by someone with energy and self belief. it's contagious. Maybe all the folk who feel more comfortable with someone to follow will soon grow out of that immature phase, and then they'll also shout no more leaders. Maybe one day we won't be "represented" by anyone apart from ourselves. Maybe, but not yet at any rate. Sad tho it is for those already radicalised, lots of people who aren't active clearly need a snap-out-of-it inspiration otherwise we'd be in utopia by now. Of course we need to keep an eye on all self-appointed leaders - bilderbergs, AstroTurf campaigners, dictators, priests and activists - but I know who'd be onmy side of the police shields when I stand up to be counted. For now, then, respect and peace to the woman.
