It's an idea worth considering by anarchists elsewhere as it's a way for even a very small group to produce and distribute something that will at least introduce people to anarchism. There also a lot more readable then the sort of leaflets most of the left dishes out. Anyway there is only the text of a few of them here, they look much nicer with graphics or photos but hopefully they will provide inspiration for others.

Blowing hot air over
Sellafield
We must take a lesson from our own past (Carnsore) and from the
highly successful anti-nuclear movement in Germany. We must recognise

forced to retreat from this position is if we push the political and
