Hi,
Hopefully you have heard about the happenings in Worthing, Sussex - Chris Baldwin is running the "Bongchuffa" shop and a private cannabis cafe which is a tremendous venture and incredible atmosphere. It is so far highly successful and very popular amongst traders and public in the area. A second shop, "Buddies" is in the process of opening in East Worthing. Stop press
Both premises were raided on Wednesday 11th Dec by heavy handed police as part of an operation they say is to "clean up Worthing before Xmas so that the law-abiding citizens can have a good time".
The press in Worthing are already labelling Chris Baldwin et al as "criminals", this particularly applies to the local tabloid, The Argus.
[Chris is a wheelchair bound MS sufferer]
The LCA is asking people to send a Christmas card to Chris and all Bongchuffa and Buddies staff via the local paper, The Argus.

Nop, but it could change the tone of the newspaper's reporting! If they are reffering to a wheel-bound MS sufferer as a criminal, public support could help change that.
One of the red-tops early this year (Sun or Mirror can't remember) was very anti-reclass. until a readers phone poll showed 80%+ support - they toned down after that:D
Even here in deepest Somerset, after the proposed cafe won the phone vote in the local rag, they became more relaxed about it - even more so when the council leader, quoted on BBC1 West, said, 'I've no problem with Taunton turning into a mini-Amersdam. It will leave police to get on with real crime and real anti-social behaivour'
Borough council leader has balls, shame the County Council leader refuses to be drawn on the issue - but I'll get her, seems as she's LimDem and their policy is legalisation!
:rolleyes:
