amal: sexy girl
amal: hi bye
Graham: Capt Scott - you might be interested to note that wood fuel burning is actually carbon nuetral, unlike fossil fuel produced electricity and gas. Cheers, Graham
capt scott: CONGRATULATIONS !!. You have won First Prize for The Scruffiest and Untidiest Site in Essex.It is so badly managed that "THE ANT" needs to shed some of his surplus energy in sorting it out. No its not cleaner than our streets.Where's your carbon footprint. Burning wood and belching out smoke
Grym: Hi, I'm using Parklife as a part of my A level communications course, chosing to promote it and make students aware of the issues around the park for a project - I was wondering if anybody from the camp would be available as an 'expert' that is, someone I can show my posters/t shirts ect promoting the cause to and gather feedback from them? It's entirely non profit, just ot make people aware ofthe cause and hopefully get me a good grade for my exam! :) I tried emailing but as mentioned by a few
pylon: BTW, one offensive comment was posted from the same IP as Fitzy.
pylon: Offensive comments have been removed. If you want to criticise then keep it clean. Offensive comments were all posted from the same 2 IP addresses : 86.132.98.138 and 85.12.80.1 (this is a school in Southend)
stott: up date on the camp please the last up date was on the 16th jan .07
Charlotte Dove: Heya, how's everything going? Anything new happening? Keep up the good work!xxx
timmy: oh go shove it graham
Graham: As usualinteresting that the so called 'critics' don't have the courage of their convictions to leave valid email addresses...
Fitzy: Hi you lot! Just want to say good luck and when i can im there for you!
Capt Scott: now that you are the unlawful custodians of some old warlords burial site it would be incimbent upon you to tidy up the site by cutting the grass, disposing of the excess vegetation and weeds and maling the site more presentable. You do very little else apart from moan and winge. An on site hairdressers would not come amiss-moreso as you are a scruffy load of environmental outcasts this planet has bno time for. Why not go back to thhe old woods on Wood Avenue, Hockley where your presence caused
dan , age 14: i think widening the road will make journeys more difficult because of the bridge at the top. But maybe people think like that if Camp Bling wasnt such an eye saw. My friends tut at the state of the place. Tidy it up and then you will get loads more people on your side. You may beleive strongly about your case but that doesnt give you the right to make it look like a tip
stott: sorry to hear the bad news about last sunday .. hope you saved the trees , am thinkind of you lot ever day . ps hi to jag

jaq: Hi Graham, didn't take it as a criticism in any way at all, I think the only good to come out of all this is a general feeling amonst the public that the council does not consult locals or care about the environment at all. Hopefully people will now have a better understanding of why we have taken protection of the land into our own hands , we can only hope!
Graham: Hi jaq, I realised that, wasn't intending to criticise Bling, just fuming taht whilst the public's attention is focussed on you folks the council can have the audacity to butcher even more trees without a word of protest, because, as you say, nobody knew about it...
jaq: Hi Charlotte, we will be starting the Tea Parties again soon, amongst other events, so watch this space! x Graham, The Gunners massacre was a fine example of local democracy in practice, i.e. nobody was consulted so nobody new until they walked their dogs and noticed something was a miss....... x
Charlotte Dove: is there anything planned in the new future? xxx
Graham: Whilst supporting Cap Bling and all it stands for, its a shame that these trees were lost with no outcry at all, did anybody ebven know it was planned? All to build a road to sevice the yuppy housing estate at the old Garrison...
JAQ: We will have a Parklife stall in the town centre on Saturday 3rd March, pop by and see what YOU can do to help stop this road.
Mandy: last night was brilliant, we will beat this road plan!

Graham: Hi pylon, can you pass on to Adrian that I'm still keen to do a permaculture course ith you folks down at camp Bling but for some reason the email addy he gave me bounces my messages back - if I don't hear anything I'll assume you arn't up for it anymore???
Pylon: I have deleted a deeply offensive entry by Roadbuilder. He lives in Southend and has a Blueyonder broadband connection - I won't put any more info on here, but I do have more. Maybe he would like to meet some of the residents and decide for himself what we are.
gail: hi you guys will ask around hope you are all ok love and hugs xxxxxxxxxx
squersh: hey people, this is a request going out from the Bling for building materials and supplies. In particular we need 4"x2" beams, joists, floorboards, (clean) carpet, sheet and scrap metal, scaffolding (inc clips and brackets), plus combustible materials (wood/coal). if you can help us out that would be lovely ta, squersh XXX

I see the echo have now changed their tune. peviously broadly supportive of camp Bling, the editorial in yesterdays Echo says that 'we' can no longer afford to be 'indulgent' of the camp, and that the road must go ahead or else 'mob rule' will win the day. Who bought them out I wonder??? Better a 'mob' consisting of the majority of the population of the town suceed in saving the park and stop this unecessary road building scheme than a bunch of bueracrats with vested interests get their own way. Anna Waite got kicked out by the electorate, which the Echo admits is at least 'partly to do with the controversial road building scheme', what more demonstration of the 'will of the people' do they need???

The Editors comment in the Southend Evening Echo on Monday 15th May does a disservice to each and every resident of our town and beyond, who has opposed the controversial Priory Crescent road widening, ever since the idea was first put forward.

The article is written in very emotive and colourful language, clearly with the intention of turning away support from those of us who have lived at the Camp Bling protest site, over the past eight months, and throughout the winter period.

During the course of the campaign, Parklife and Camp Bling have often been portrayed as irrelevant, or in this case read ‘harmless and quite colourful eccentrics.’ Now that the go ahead could be halted by the impracticalities of clearing our protest site, the tone has changed and we must stand for ‘mob rule.’

May I remind the Editor and also Southend Borough Council that over 20,000 signatures were collected in opposition to the scheme by the end of the official public consultation period, with just 16 (sixteen) letters of approval forthcoming from local people at the time.

As recently as last Saturday Parklife met with the town’s shoppers to collect letters of opposition. Even after five years of petitioning, over three hundred people shared their concerns with us in a few hours. I personally met two in favour of the widening that same afternoon.

So the rule of our ‘mob’ is simple - to stop the desecration of the most significant archaeological burial site found in living memory, destruction of 111 trees, concreting of 3000m2 of public open space, and equally to represent everyone who has been ignored by and excluded from the ‘exhaustive and completely democratic process.’

If the scheme is cancelled based upon the public opposition and information highlighted above, we will clear and leave the burial as stated from the outset on Friday 23rd September, when the camp was begun.

This is about people power-for the people of Southend, and this time we
