Herbert Riley, born 1 December 1914 (until he joined the army when he saw his birth certificate which said he was born 21 December - his mother thought it was too close to Christmas!)
Spent the second world war in Burma fighting the Japenese, his stories on this passage of his life bring tears to your eyes and great lessons in humility.
His wife is in the last stages of suffering from Alzheimer’s and he travels 30 miles everyday to go and see her, she hasn’t opened her eyes for over a week.
Last year at the annual garden party he was complaining about the state of his jumper. It had a small hole in a seam, but it looked quite old to us so we asked him when he bought it:
“Oh, its from M&S and I bought it in the winter of 1937, it hasn’t done me bad”
A truly wonderful man.

CSJ Awards

Last night we at Protest 4 were given a “Centre For Social Justice Award” in their nationwide search for six charities and organisations who were most effective at Poverty Fighting. There were some truly amazing people there all of whom held the same belief:
“That the responsibility for social change comes not only from Westminster but from small positive changes by individuals.”
I had my reservations about the CSJ and it’s easy to critise IDS for wanting to leave a legacy. At Protest 4, however, we believe that only through using the actions and talents that we’ve been given can change occur both for yourself and others and maybe he sees it as his role as being able to support and raise the profile of small community based organisation that are making their own small changes.
Ontop of that got a photo with Iain Duncan Smith and I’ll put a link to the photo when it comes available.
