Allotments vs Olympics

I'm sure that's appeared on here before - or maybe I'm finally cracking up. Anyway, I've signed it already and it's a good cause.
What do you expect from politicians who have nothing better to do than comment on the mouthings of celebrity morons on channel 4.

i've signed up too. what a lovely lottie site - doesn't bear thinking about that this oasis of productive green inhabited by decent gardening folk from all cultural backgrounds all rubbing along together is gonna be swamped in lifeless grey concrete.

Think "power to the people" went about the same time as this Goverment came into power, money talks in the land of politics.

Talking of good causes, havn't the government just swiped 300 million from the lottery which should have gone on good causes, to help pay for the olympics? They told us when the bid was made that NO lottery money would be used. The big fat liars.

wouldn't suprise me in the least- not sure if they ever stick to their word.

Perhaps we should start our own party the allomenteers we'd probably sort the country out in a few weeks. :twisted:

As that guy in the video clip someone put on here recently said, "All the worlds problems can be solved in the garden".

what a shame it would be to lose a great site like that.Although ive signed i know it will be in vain though as dont know a politician in the country who would take up the case

The petition might help to persuade 'the powers that be' to find them a new "Perminent" sight straight away rather than move them twice :evil:

I am afraid I have to agree with you mum of 3, I hope we are wrong.

I like the sound of that!

Hi,

Have signed up and sent the links to my lottie association seretary for distribution. Have nothing against the Olympics but this is a big bit of 'Big Brother' and destroying these sites in the name of sport is unacceptable
