MEP’s are important too

by

The next crucial stage in the battle to regulate speculation in food commodities and stop the bankers gambling on hunger will take place in Europe.

Let us know if you fancy joining us to meet your local MSP and remind them of the importance of global poverty and injustice…

In just a few hours at Festival Sunday in the West End of Glasgow, 161 people signed a campaign card telling the Secretary of State for International Development that they don’t agree with locking the world’s poorest people into more unjust debt.

Time to listen up, Mr. Mitchell – the Daily Mail might be ranting about the ‘shame’ of the UK giving aid to poorer countries, but the Glasgow public think it’s only right that we should give grants to tackle the effects of climate change.
