It’s been a while since I’ve put anything up on the blog – partly because things have been so busy. We’ve a number of embryonic parties in the offing and without wanting to jinx them it doesn’t feel like it’ll be a challenge to hit our target of five parties. There’s a real appetite for this intervention: people are nervous; skeptical; distrustful – but they’re willing to give it a go.
One man said to me this evening as I was knocking on doors:
“We’ve got problems here, sure, you’d be a fool to say that we don’t. But that’s nothing as to the potential on these estates. There’s lots that think like me, they just don’t know other people are out there too. If we all get together there’s nothing can stop us.”
I can write articulate strategic documents about this form of intervention as much as I like. But I’ll never be able to put it better than that.
