Greens did not choose Waitrose, 38 Degrees did, and we along with Labour, Cons, Lib Dems and UKIP were invited there to receive the petition. Only Rebecca, Tulip and UKIP turned up. Apparently the Coalition parties were only willing to come if it was held at Fornum and Mason.Martinhttp://www.wembleymatters.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-90578898469789082532015-04-29T16:50:41.855+01:002015-04-29T16:50:41.855+01:00I knew 3 degrees chose the venue.

They've done Swiss Cottage 2 or 3 times no and nowhere else.<br />"Waitrose is a cooperative run for the benefit of its members and rewards it staff well (who are also members)." Except those who are outsourced like the cleaners of course. And a proper cooperative would be run by its staff not just "run for their benefit" - how patronising is that.<br />Anyway, my tongue in cheek remark was a dig at the Green Party (and 38 degrees, if you want) for choosing an upmarket supermarket in a fairly posh part of the constituency for their action.<br />Peel Precinct newsagents.......Pete Firminnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-38822853792468566192015-04-26T17:49:57.962+01:002015-04-26T17:49:57.962+01:00Waitrose is a cooperative run for the benefit of i...Waitrose is a cooperative run for the benefit of its members and rewards its staff well (who are also members).
