Many MPs claim to care about nature.

Tomorrow afternoon will be the test.

On Tuesday 3rd March there will be a debate in Parliament on red lines for nature.

We’ll be watching to see who shows up. Empty seats will say a lot.

Tell us who you expect to see there tomorrow. πŸ‘‡

The Green Team took action to tidy up this area in Dover. We picked 16 bags of rubbish and 8 of recycling in the space of 2 hours, even after it started drizzling we were in good spirits.
Well done everyone who helped and thanks to @transitiondover for loan of the kit
We made a difference today!

πŸ“ˆ Let's keep narrowing that gap!

A new study warns UK winters are becoming significantly wetter β€” with rainfall rising 7% for every degree of warming.

Yet Reform dismiss the scientific consensus and want scrap action to stop the climate crisis.

Eighty-one years ago today the full horror of humanity's cruelty to others was revealed to the world.

Cruelty on an unimaginable scale. Cruelty on an industrial scale.

How could such cruelty arise?

We can all be a bit cruel. A bit mean. A bit nasty. To people who are different. Who worship different gods, who look different, who speak different.

But we try to snuff out that cruel streak with kindness, with decency, with respect.

But some don't try. They take the easy path of being nasty, of being a bully, of being cruel.

There's nothing to show at first sight who will be cruel, be nasty. It never says on their foreheads "Beware. Nasty person"

The Canadian poet, Leonard Cohen, made that clear in his poem about one of the architects of the industrial cruelty we remember today. A person called Adolph Eichmann.

Eichmann was just average, medium

Eichmann ran away from justice, but justice caught up with him.

Like all bullies, like all those who let the cruelty out, he was coward. He took the easy path. He let his cruelty out and then ran away.

Being cruel, being nasty is the coward's way.

What is hard, often the hardest thing anyone can do, is standing up to bullies, standing up to cruelty, to spite.

And, sadly, there is too much nastiness, too much cruelty, too much spite in the world today.

And we must all stand up against it because we need to reject the spite, the nastiness, the cruelty that ruined so many lives eighty-one years ago in case it overwhelms us again.

Let's stand up for kindness, for decency, and for respect.

Mayor Mike & Mayoress Christine met children from local schools at todays Holocaust Memorial Day service. The children had written poems and made artwork reflecting on their learning about the atrocities of the Holocaust and how we all have a duty to speak up to ensure they do not happen again.

Mike gave a very powerful speech which was appreciated by those in attendance including Jewish refugees who sought safety in the UK

After the Lantern Parade on the Pier we went over to the Berry for some Christmas drinks and chat. Oh and there were some mince pies too! It was a lovely evening.
Why not join us for another drink this Friday evening at the Red Lion in Dover for part 2!
