This has left contemporary British society in a troubled and dysfunctional state, without the cohesion or confidence needed if we are to escape from recession, combat climate change and restore faith in government. The authors put forward a theoretical framework for understanding contemporary politics; and they consider what is to be done to revitalise the British left, challenge neoliberal hegemony, and develop a political project aimed at creating a greener, fairer, happier, more democratic and less divided Britain. Contributors to the book Patrick Ainley, Martin Allen, David Beetham, Noel Castree, Pat Devine, Angela McRobbie, Linda Patterson, Andrew Pearmain, Michael Prior, David Purdy, Kate Soper Speakers on the evening: *David Purdy, co-author Feelbad Britain *Rupert Read, prospective Eastern Region MEP, Green Party *Jonathan Clark, chairperson, Norwich Compass Chair: Andrew Pearmain, co-author Feelbad Britain ------------ ==Fair Trade in Norfolk AGM, June 15th, 6pm, Venue: tbc== More information on http://www.fairtradenorfolk.org.uk ------------- ==UNA Lunch Box talk, Friday June 16th, 1pm-2pm, Friends Meeting House, Upper Goat Lane== Title: '''The Norfolk Venda Project''' Speaker '''Philip Jepson'''.
