Back in June I mentioned WDM’s new campaign on food speculation, Stop Betting on Hunger. I’ve been meaning to write more about it, but have been so busy with work and my naughty back playing up, that I’ve not had a chance to blog much recently, let alone about this campaign. Anyway, now I don’t have to, because Kevin has blogged about it, and as he has covered it so well, I figure it’s better to direct you to his blog about Goldman Sachs and food speculation.
His blog conveniently links to the EU Worst Lobby Awards, where you can vote for the worst lobbyist in the EU. And rather unsurprisingly, who turns up on the list of Worst EU Lobbyists, but Goldman Sachs. I urge you to vote because by being part of the Worst Lobby Awards, you are helping to highlight the issue of the behind-the-scenes lobbying by corporations and their industry bodies in the EU. And how fun would it be to see Goldman Sachs trying to avoid being given an award for worst lobbyist!
