Ever had the feeling that all politician’s are liars?

09-10-2006 12:12
We’re currently putting together the first in a series of publications called Turbulence: Ideas for movement. In the first issue, we want to take the slogan “We Are Winning” – famously sprayed on a wall in Seattle during the 1999 WTO protests – and ask, “What, actually, would it mean to win?”.
