Horrible organisations by the EU are not invincible!

*The dodgy trade deal known as CETA has been blocked!* The deal was due to 
be signed this Thursday. But *yesterday, the parliament of Wallonia, part of 
Belgium, refused to sign.* *Instead, they sided with millions of us across 
Europe* - a huge, people-powered roadblock.

*It’s a plucky move to stand up for democracy in the face of corporate and EU 
Goliaths.* The Walloons are blocking CETA because the deal could allow banned 
chemicals into our food and let big business sue our government in secret 
courts. Here in the UK, the worst bits of CETA would still apply for 20 
years after we leave the EU.

*The Walloons are the only parliament listening to their people on CETA. And 
they’re under HUGE pressure to crack. So let's send them a big people-powered 
message of support*, showing them they’re not alone against CETA. *It will help 
give them the strength to hold firm* as pressure is piled on them to sign this 
dodgy deal.

Readers of my blog will be uplifted by this email from 38 Degrees (a widely supported pressure group in the UK) concerning the scuppering of the CETA diktat.
