Green Gathering talk 2013: The Strangulation Of Investigative Journalism In The UK - Tony Gosling

My highlight was the speakers forum which had a huge array of speakers. Charles Dowding spoke about no-dig gardening which gave us some great advice for the allotment, Natalie Bennet from the Green Party gave us a political view of the current climate and Tony Gosling from The Land is Ours and also a previous BBC journalist, was hugely inspiring, looking at the lack of investigative journalism in today's age, where it is most needed. Being a journalist myself, Tony really woke me up, talking about the misinformation we receive every day, about how historically the land was stolen from the people by the parliamentarians and that there is actually enough land for every single one of us to have an acre! This would enable us all to grow our food, or have our own house and be able to live happy and healthy lives. Where is our land?

Tony's talk went perfectly with Hector Christie and Gerald Miles' talk on the Sunday about the state of GMO food in the UK. After hearing several conspiracy theories from Tony, and feeling a little overwhelmed, we watched Gerald and Hector's GMO and Monsanto talk be censored - literally- as the live feed on Green Gatherings site of the speakers forum had been hacked and all the passwords changed within the hour of their presentation. Hector had even mentioned at the beginning that an 'undercover policemen' may be amongst us!
