Callout for stalls at the 2013 bookfair

Season’s Greetings from all at Wessex Solidarity.

So crack open a brew, spark up the chalice, throw another fascist on the fire and put your feet up. Maybe even dip into our Reference Library while you’re at it – knowledge is power after all, the only kind worthy of respect.

Stay free, stay safe, solidarity forever! X

For those facing hard times in the Hastings area.
