h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi everyone,

I've just signed DoSomethingAboutIt.org.uk's petition for a British 'New Deal': calling on government to supplement the banking bail-out with a stimulus package for other areas of the economy, which will create jobs now and lay the foundations for a greener, fairer society.

We need to send a clear message to politicians, telling them that they cannot spend billions rescuing the richest without investing in the rest of us. Britain cannot go back to the pre-crisis status quo, with its growing inequalities and its dependence on the financial sector- we have to move forward to a socially and environmentally sustainable future.

You can sign the petition by visiting www.dosomethingaboutit.org.uk. But act fast- the petition will close on 2 March.

Cheers,
Matholwch .

Done

Cheers WS

DSAI was recommend to me by my favourite journalist - George Monbiot. One of the few guys who actually dares to say that the entire Government are wearing no clothes.

How's the job situation?

I've signed the petition @ http://www.dosomethingaboutit.org.uk/signed.php?

Matholwch, I like him too. Geoffrey Lean tells it like it is too.

Hi Astro,

Slow...

...and unlikely to pick up anytime soon, so I have lots of time to work through the good lady's little list.

Let's see... refloor the bathroom, fit a new kitchen, get the kids to clean out their rooms [basically impossible], decorate the hall, build a new board fence around the garden, clear the garden for spring, rebuild the trampoline and so it goes

Cheers,
Matholwch .

Hi WS, had this Lean character got a blog or website?

I can't find a web site which is disappointing but Google Geoffrey Lean and loads of articles come up. He writes for several publications, and managed to upset a certain we known company known for its chemicals and genetically modified plans.
