Derek wrote Earth First and the Anti-Roads movement in 1999 and was the result of his Phd.
He is an ecosocialist committed to the view that an infinately growing capitalist economy destroys nature, fuels injustice and leads to an alienated way of life.

Derek says: 'Green politics is the politics of survival. Unless we build a green economy based on meeting need rather than greed our children face a bleak future.
"Don't waste your vote, vote Green to close the Colnbrook incinerator and to stop night flights."
"Every Green vote is a vote for justice, ecology and peace."

Derek has strong links with African-American and Afro-Caribbean Green activists. He believes strongly in direct action.
He helped put together a Uk campaign to free the US death row prisoner Mumia Abu-Jaml in 1995.
He passionately believes that green politics is the politics of liberation and has been a member of the Party since 1980. Influenced by 'spirituality' pursuing a pagan appreciation of the living world in a variety of ways, Derek practices zazen, likes literature especially John Cooper Powys and Malcolm Lowry, enjoys walking. He is seriously obssessed with the issue of how we get to a greener society. Strategy matters.
He is single but has three sons, who he prefers to spend time with teaching how to cook than going to meetings. His favourite book on Green politics is of course 'The Enemy of Nature' by Joel Kovel. Babylon and Beyond, a guide to anti-capitalist economics written with New Zealand MP Nandor Tanczos is published by Pluto in September.
