Some light a torch to start a fire ahead

Every year, you may organise a big gathering with family and friends to spark the memories of the past alive, to create some new ones and make plans for the future.

Food, drinks, music, chatter are different tools used to light up the way.
Until one abuse of one or the other.

The food diminishes, hunger sets in.
The drinks are abused, hangovers are on their way
The music is too loud, complaints come along.
The chatter goes from friendly to unpleasant, memories become tarnished.

And so, some guests stops eating, they drink too heavily, they dance uncontrollably on the dancefloor harassing their fellow human and bumping onto them and they start to have rocks and slugs in their throat.

Those ones always find a torch to set some fire ahead that may never be extinguished.

In those moments, take the matter into your hand, throw a bucket of water on them and send them to sleep before the forest you have planted goes from fire to dust.

How can we resist the New Cramble in Africa? By Stopping the corporate takeover of african food

A landmark  G8  initiative ' The New Alliance for Food Security' to boost agriculture and relieve poverty has been damned as a new form of colonialism after African governments agreed to change seed, land and tax laws to favour private investors over small farmers. The alliance is being paid with hundred's of millions of pounds of our taxpayers'money to help the corporate like Unilever, Monsanto and Diageo to take over African land, seeds and agriculture. It is quite shocking to hear that this is the way the UK is spending Aid budget rather than supporting the African farmers who produce 70% of the countries food. Yesterday evening at the Christchurch on Clarendon Park Road in Leicester, I had the chance to assist to an event organised by the World Development Movement where I learnt more about this particular issue. Two speakers were present and below is a summary of the elements they cover. 1) Christine Haigh, Food Policy Officer from World Development...
