Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Campaign against TTIP
Today "38 degrees" campaigned to raise awarenes about TTIP with information stalls outside the Salisbury Pub, Wood Green, Seven Sisiters and Crouch End.
TTIP threatens the NHS and schools.
The TTIP agreement will alow public services such as the NHS and education service to be opened up to privatisation and profiteering by multinational corporations and it will not be possible for them to be taken back into public hands in the future.
TTIP threatens our democratic decision making.
TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) is a trade agreement between the US and EU which will give multinational corporations greater power to sue national governments for any loss of future profits resulting from democratic decisions, such as new laws protecting the environment. Already some governments have refrained from acting on democratic laws after being threatened by law suits from multinationals.
TTIP and the right to make profits.
TTIP is an agreement to get rid of anything that will get in the way of making profits. EU and US regulations and rights such as labour rights, food standards, toxic chemicals, banking safeguards, on-line privacy laws etc will be "harmonized", which will mean an attack on hard won rights and a reduction of standards.

It was great that so many came out for 38 Degrees leafletting across the borough and I was very encouraged by that too.
As a Green I have been campaigning agains this near-secret treaty with anyone who is prepared to help, including Labour Party people and others but unfortunately the MEPs of all the big parties go along with TTIP, and it is Green MEPS who are opposing it. So you don't have to vote Conservative or UKIP.

Continuing this discussion- it would be great also, to encourage all to sign the Haringey Council petition about the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. It's on the Council's own web site. If it reaches 2200 signatures, Haringey Council will be obliged to have a debate about the issue.
Jean Lambert MEP has produced a report of essays outlining what's wrong with the proposed TTIP EU-US trade agreement. It can be viewed online at http://www.jeanlambertmep.org.uk/2015/01/30/whats-wrong-ttip-voices-opposing-eu-us-trade-agreement/
