Is there any way small bundles of the occupied times can be distributed to Transition Town groups around the UK? i.e. do your/outreach funds extend to necessary postage?

Occupy Newcastle was literally blown away in the night and so some of us are left wondering how to continue with what I agree is an unstoppable movement. I feel removed from parliamentary politics and estranged from traditional Left politics because of all of the redundant infighting. TIme to get real and move towards consensual change, however long it takes.
I believe that by implementing small but significant changes in our own lives and the way we interact other changes will begin to happen. By releasing ourselves from the pressures of pointless debt, needless consumerism, ideological nitpicking we can bring about change.
This forum is one element, there will be others. I am confident that we will get better at channeling all of this energy and start to shift the paradigm.
Looking forward to the next few weeks and months

Hi guys let me know what I can to to help the cause I’ve been trying to ge tthe message out but It goes over most peoples heads around here. Most people I speak to are happy to embroil themselves in celeb gossip and eastenders. I have been trying to engage into debates with known opposers of the movement, somewhat unsuccessfully. It’s too late for me to turn back now I’m far too outraged! I’ve got to get involved properly. Thankyou for standing your ground on behalf of people who believe everything the Sun tells them. Perhaps one day they will appreciate everything you have done and are doing for us. xx Love and Respect from the Isle of Sheppey
