Snell quits the leadership of the ReBulls. Our collective campaign continues
Lynda Snell has quit her one person protest outside of The Bull and the leadership of the ReBulls after pressure from the Bull’s owner Lilian Bellamy. Bellamy had discovered that Snell’s protest was only part-time and had had the physical support of no one else
Ambridge Socialist Editor Keith Flett said, Snell’s protest was to a degree heroic but stopping the change of name of The Bull and keeping the pub open is about more than one individual. We need well thought through, well organised, collective protest which has a range of tactics including petitions and direct action
Offer of a United Front with The Rebulls to Save The Bull
Lynda Snell’s one person vigil outside The Bull (albeit part time) did get a lot of support but it will take more than a one person protest to make sure The Bull retains its traditional name & keep the pub open.
We have proposed a united front of protest with the Rebulls starting with a joint protest workshop to look at the best strategies for a collective campaign.
In the meantime the more signatures we can get on the real Save The Bull petition the more pressure we can put on Lilian Bellamy so please encourage people to sign
Kate is not pregnant
The Ambridge Socialist is often critical of Kate, one of the more self-indulgent residents of Ambridge (and there are a lot to choose from). However we were sorry to find that she was not pregnant as she had hoped. It was a sad moment. Whether Jakob felt quite so sad is less clear.
