A bunch of raving Facists!

Criminal Mikhail Cherney presents Lord Pearson of Rannoch with the award Have you heard of the Jerusalem Summit? Have you heard of the Russian oligarch Mikhail Cherney?

The Jerusalem Summit is quite simply a bunch of fascists! Who... Not only held this summit meeting in London, but were allowed to hold it at the House of Lords.

Their main aim is to rid the West of Islam and unite all Christians to resist Islamic values. In their own words, 'the West must unite and resist Islam.'

Forty-nine locals vow to stand in front of chainsaws to prevent loss of trees

HEREFORD GREEN PARTY PRESS RELEASE:

Forty-nine locals vow to stand in front of chainsaws to prevent loss of Meadow trees.

A capacity crowd of nearly 300 people filled two floors of Hereford's Watershed building last night, to hear a coalition of groups talk about the Environment Agency's poorly-designed flood defence scheme for the City. Attendees expressed support for the provision of effective flood defences - but also concern over the Council's lack of vision and leadership in passing the current scheme by which established trees on Bishop's Meadow will be needlessly cut down. Green Party prospective Council candidate Martin Wyness asked people if they would be willing to stand under the affected trees, thereby making it impossible for workers to fell them. Forty-nine people expressed a commitment to stand in the way of the chainsaws in order to protect Hereford's wonderful cultural and natural heritage.
