Matt Sellwood for Hackney: July 2009

http://mattsellwoodforhackney.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 29 July 2009. Saying No To NHS Privatisation. One of the most cherished institutions in the UK is the National Health Service. Not many people know it, but the NHS is being slowly privatised, piece by piece, right before our eyes. I was the only Parliamentary Candidate to attend a public meeting held last week by Hackney Keep Our NHS Public. The local branch of the excellent national organisation Keep Our NHS Public. This will have a direct effect on patient care in Hackney, as well as pay and...

Matt Sellwood for Hackney: April 2010

http://mattsellwoodforhackney.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 28 April 2010. Well, the only public hustings of the campaign in Hackney North took place on Tuesday evening, organised by Hackney and Tower Hamlets Friends of the Earth - and, as this report in the Hackney Citizen. Confirms, it seemed to go alright for me. What was particularly eye-opening was the response of the other candidates. They just didn't get it. Not in a deliberately evasive way - they just didn't grasp the scope of the question. At all. The purpose of the economy is not to grow, bu...

Matt Sellwood for Hackney: Seismic Shifts

http://mattsellwoodforhackney.blogspot.com/2010/05/seismic-shifts.html

Wednesday, 12 May 2010. Well I thought my "post-election thoughts" post was going to be the last on this blog for a while. But lets face it, I was never quite going to be able to resist just a few comments on what has been happening over the last few days. Just a few highlights of what we have gotten out of this godawful dogs dinner:. The Lib Dems have signed up to the unworkable, draconian and xenophobic 'cap on non EU migration' policy. Well done guys. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am the Green...

Matt Sellwood for Hackney: Claiming Credit For Things

http://mattsellwoodforhackney.blogspot.com/2010/04/claiming-credit-for-things.html

Sunday, 18 April 2010. Claiming Credit For Things. Is not a good idea, if you actually had nothing to do with them. Following on from my slight surprise at claims in the Labour Clissold ward newsletter about 'achievements' which were actually just the delivery of basic council services, I've just been copied into this email from the Chair of the Stoke Newington Common Users Group, to Hackney Labour Party:. Dear Hackney Labour Party. This makes one wonder what other mistruths you may be relying on. The pe...

Matt Sellwood for Hackney: Afghanistan - an ongoing crime

http://mattsellwoodforhackney.blogspot.com/2009/08/afghanistan-ongoing-crime.html

Thursday, 20 August 2009. Afghanistan - an ongoing crime. So - today Afghans go to the polls. Or, rather, those who are able to do so go to the polls. Some of them, probably not a majority, may even be uncoerced. Few of them will be voting for candidates who are untainted by monstrous war crimes, human rights abuses, and misogyny on a scale that boggles the mind. By the incredibly brave female Afghan MP Malalai Joya. Points out, Afghan democracy is nothing but a myth. And no one even seems to be counting...
