My sentiments exactly
It’s been a busy week. We’ve been featured in the local paper, our Campaign tabloid has begun distribution across Cambridge. The Respect message is well and truly getting out there. Lots of people are showing their support. There is an excitement amongst our team because the response to our message is so positive.
Ed and Steve had a chance encounter with Labour MP, Anne Campbell, outside a local primary school and managed to quickly distribute literature to parents who were far more pleased to see us than she was! The teller in the bank recognized me and clenched his fist in support. I was stopped by the cleaner on the way into work, he expressed the sentiments of many people we are speaking to. He said, like many others, that he had always voted Labour but was completely disillusioned and was glad he now had a new party to vote for.
I spoke at a hustings last night set up by Cam-peace on the issue of War and civil liberties. Anne Campbell, the sitting MP, declined to attend. She thinks her best chances are to keep her head down, hoping the whole thing will blow over. The Liberal Democratic candidate only spoke about the war in the past tense, he seemed so remote from the suffering of the Iraqi people. At the expense of morality and humanity he quoted the laws and legal babble which got us into this mess, I can’t see how they are going to get us out of it!
