ALERT: Greenpeace under attack globally

As I write this John, Greenpeace is under attack globally like never before.    Right now, our colleagues in Italy, the USA, and here in the UK are all targets of intimidation lawsuits from oil giants. Strategically deployed with one aim: silenc…

Aboard Shell’s oil rig

John, I’ve seen livelihoods go up in flames – fanned by Shell's reckless pursuit of oil and profit.   Wildfires ripped through the farmland I worked on in Oregon and the horror of years of hard work reduced to ashes in a matter of minutes is bey…

There’s a cemetery outside parliament

Hi John,   This government has failed us. They’ve stood by while 70,000 people have died since 2013.   That’s 58 people per day during winter. Tens of thousands of lives lost because of cold, damp homes, a direct result of government neglect. [1…
