Good to see Access Space in the list, well deserved!

There are people who work for the government, who maybe are really good people, but do they qualify as "radical"? CAN you qualify as "radical" if you work for the government? There are some "radicals" who are named individuals, and some who are organisations with hundreds of employees.

Eventually we will prevail! Being featured on this list is "publicity only" - there is no cash prize or other resource attached.
