Subject: RE: 70th anniversary of UK mass trespass
We went to the 50th, the 60th and enjoyed the 70th. As Mikr Harding and other speakers reminded us yesterday, the Tresspass was a political event about the rights of working people. Mike and Benny had been on a rally against the privatisation of water, it was sold off so that we could buy it back in bottles.

Thr pro-hunt brigade were their yesterday! It was and remains their ownership of land for hunting that kept the rest of us out of the countryside

Great steps were made after the Tresspass but only with political power. We have it now. The current leadership need clear and direct advice. The rest of us need to get and vote this Thursday and all the other Thursady's lest we betray those who went before us.

The broad left stayed at home in France..............
