Reply To: Our Euroelection campaign

The hustings in Banbury yesterday evening went well. There were maybe around a hundred people in the town hall, along with candidates from nearly all the parties. We each had five minutes for an opening statement, and then there was over an hour of questions from the audience, with a minute for each of us to give a reply. As with other hustings, equal time was afforded to each of the candidates. I put some emphasis on how we stand for a future society without borders or nations, and therefore without all the divisions between people which they encourage. I brought along a variety of our leaflets, and by the end of the evening quite a few had been picked up.

A transcript of my opening statement is here: http://socialismoryourmoneyback.blogspot.com/2019/05/from-euro-election-candidate.html

There’s a newspaper report here, but I don’t get much of a mention!  https://www.banburyguardian.co.uk/news/politics/poems-and-rodents-feature-in-banbury-eu-hustings-1-8926044
