This lecture will be given by the Right Honourable Michael Meacher, a British politician and a member of Parliament for Oldham. He was first elected to Parliament in 1970, and served as a minister under Harold Wilson and James Callaghan. During opposition he was in the Shadow Cabinet for fourteen years. He was seen as a figure on the left and an ally of Tony Benn and stood as the left's candidate against Roy Hattersley in the 1983 leadership election. He was a junior minister at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. He was sacked in June 2003, and since then has attacked the British government on a number of issues, notably the 2003 Iraq war and genetically modified food. In this lecture he will touch on the emerging oil crisis, the dangers of genetic modification in our food and taking up the challenge of climate change.

$15 entrance to a talk! This should be deleted!

Why be angry at spending 15 Euro to hear about the issues Michael Meacher has had the courage to raise? Very few people inside any modern state have been so clear, well informed and courageous about going so widely 'off message' - He probably missed out on the many backhanders and payoffs/rewards which our representatives are now so accustomed to receiving for toeing the party line. He is a reliable and first hand witness into the way our governments are selling us out. We need more like Meacher, surely?

Sustainable living? Come again -he's nearly got more houses than a Provo portfolio!!

Meacher owner of nine homes - Meacher's many homes

David Hencke and Rob Evans
Saturday January 20, 2001

Guardian

Michael Meacher, the environment minister, has built up a property portfolio of at least nine and up to 12 homes with his second wife, Lucianne, worth a minimum of £2m, a joint investigation by the Guardian and the Mark Thomas Product TV programme reveals today.
The leftwing minister, who nearly 20 years ago condemned posh homes as "status symbols" and part of the Thatcherite divide, has built up most of the portfolio in the 1990s, with his latest purchases coming after taking up his government post.

Mr Meacher and his wife own a house in Wimbledon; a country retreat in Gloucestershire and a terraced property in his Oldham constituency. Between them they are building up a portfolio of flats in Wimbledon, Balham and Putney in south London which are being let. His wife is a director of three property companies.

Mr Meacher, who two years ago condemned second home owners for preventing young people in rural areas from getting a foot on the property ladder, has a Cotswold house worth more than £500,000 according to local estate agents.

Andrew Lansley, the Conservative spokesman on the Cabinet Office, said: "I intend to write to Mr Meacher asking him to explain how this fits in with the ministerial code of conduct and whether he has informed his colleagues of his financial interests if he participates in discussions on housing matters."

I know Sustainable has an expensive business to keep afloat and a Village to build but they really could do things on much much cheaper scale.

We aren't perfect - nor is Meacher, but if only perfect people spoke out there would be (perhaps blissful) silence. Okay so he's a capitalist too, but isnt it funny how the press mostly point the finger at those who have opposed the war or environmental damage in any way. Where are the articles exposing the saints of this world like Bush Senior or Bertie? Just a thought.

author by Mark Thomas fanpublication date Wed Oct 12, 2005 14:02author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Bush talking about freedom.
Bertie talking about the need for wage restraint.
Meacher talking about sustainable living.

It's all hyprocrisy. Just doing my civic duty posting the article. People have a right to know about the large scale hypocrisy - don't they?

author by White Riderpublication date Wed Oct 12, 2005 14:37author address author phone Report this post to the editors

But people are often more than the sum of their hypocrisy. Meacher may be hypocritical in one sphere and capable of making some very truthful and pertinent observations in another. There's a lot of hypocrisy abuot the hypocrisy too. Most of the people laying into Meacher are probably not at all interested in sustainable living, which makes them hypocrites too. What most of you are about, really, is denigrating an outspoken opposer of the war in Iraq. That's Meacher's real 'crime' and why he comes in for so much of this stuff.
