George Morran looks at the politics of localisation

September 10, 2011 by admin

The full text of a letter in the Birmingham Post this week written by Localise West Midlands Associate and Vice Chair, George Morran can be read here.

One of our three arch-localisers, George looks at the politics of localisation, as Helena has spread the local food gospel and Colin has focussed on localising production and trade.
