Getting ahead of ourselves: interview with an anti-TTIP activist

"What I am doing is fighting enclosure. This way of objectifying reality, of not being ‘with’ things, not being with nature, not being with the earth, not being with the ‘other’…" From the Squares and Beyond partnership.

openDemocracy: What do you think the prospects are for us. Will TTIP happen or will it be prevented? What can we do to stop it?

Tim Flitcroft (Tim): Firstly, write to your MEPs. This aspect of democracy does still work. They had a debate in the House of Commons and they had more letters about TTIP than any other issue. It is suppressed by the media, but you can circumvent that by really sending a lot of letters to MPs and MEPs.
