Waiting at the traffic lights on route to the park to enjoy a rest day after an intense week involved in the organisation of an event about Climate Justice here in Bogota, the captial of Colombia, an old man approached us. He was dressed as smartly as he could, dark suit, a tie and a felt hat, but he didnt look like your average suited man. Old, weather face by the sun that makes guessing ages very difficult, a calmness, resignation about him. He held a carefully handwritten sign in his hand, "please help my family, we are displaced from Bolivar( a region where there is huge amounts of palm planted) god bless you." read full story / add a comment

Given how much debt New Labour have put us all in by bailing out their mates in the banks, they now need to try and balance the books by flogging off some more of our assets. But for once they do need a decent price, and clearly they dont think they'll get it in the current climate. There are however a few more reasons he didn't care to go into in any detail.... read full story / add a comment
