On my day as a Government Stooge.
It was all very 'on-message' & tried to lead you by the hand to rubber- stamp Government Policy. I tried to make the point that we might just be able to get there through freewill but not certain that this radical idea was understood....it was at this point I became aware, that our table [we had groups with a Facilitator who recorded all that was said] was surrounded by earnest & intent types with clipboards ....my signal to shut up ..
I was paid my £75 & home I came.
All in all a pretty irritating day - what was encouraging was that so many ordinary citizens can think for themselves and are thinking as I have for a long time ....there are some sheep still and some asleep but many are not ...they just don't know what to do about it."

"Thank- you for so much help with the above - I went in with a lot of confidence thanks to you ....but as you said they were just after a rubber stamp - it clearly was a reaction to the High Court ruling in favour of Greenpeace ...we will see if any of their methods change"
lots of love
