G20 Voice

Posted on March 19 2009

Note the new banner to the right.

I’m honoured to say this is a G20Voice blog. As G20Voice say:

G20Voice is part of an ongoing project that gives you the chance to participate, engage and influence leaders from governments, the business world, international institutions and other influential people at important global moments and events via the blogosphere.

We are inviting 50 influential and knowledgeable bloggers to attend the G20 Summit on April 2nd in London, UK, where they will get unprecedented access to world leaders and thinkers and the chance to ask questions about the issues important to them. 20 of those bloggers will be nominated by you.

Even if you are not one of the 50 at the actual summit there will be the chance to use this website to tell them about your concerns and ask them questions about their plans for ending poverty, tackling climate change or whatever concerns you most.

I have been asked to be one of the bloggers present at the G20.

I have, of course, accepted the invitation. It’s a chance not to be missed.

Questions are welcomed….

Thanks for reading this post.

    Congratulations Richard – I rather expect you won’t be pulling any punches.

    Dennis, M and Philip

    Thanks!

    I won’t be pulling punches

    But let’s also be clear – I’m going looking for good news as well as bad

    Six months ago we could not have imagined where we are now

    I want more than I suspect will be on the table

    Equally, I will recognise real progress it is offered

    Is that fair?

    best

    Richard

    Well done Richard !,heres to someone who can make a difference! and I hope you do make a difference! my one question would be from my old friend the late Dr Prof,Aime Van Santen (Molitor) would be this.
    The Philosophy of the ‘Monroe Doctrine’just like Karl Marx and ‘Das Kapital
    (both penned in the London Library in the Blue Room)has now run full Circle,
    as has the centralized antics of European and Colonial Europe,based in London and Empire closed. What then is the structure of the New World after this crisis? and will they be re aligned into,trading Blocks or regions of the Globe,? without resorting to Isolationism or Protectionism ?.
