Greetings Bretwalda

I've started #sculpture classes and have been wondering if a statue of our great leaders would be of interest

Cover of Issue #001 Zine Winter of Discontent A young woman leans against a wall with a small bear hanging from a crowbar, while a black wolf creature sits above her. Off in the distance alien ships are either abducting or releasing creatures, no context can be given. The graffiti message of 'they are among us' is displayed on the wall.

Here's the first issue of York Stop Press!, a paper produced by striking @nujofficial.bsky.social members during the #WinterOfDiscontent in Dec 1978. We at Leeds Other Paper helped with production - as a workers' co-op we were not part of the provincial newspapers dispute.

Good stuff. We printed the York chapel's strike paper on our press at Leeds Other Paper - I might have a copy or two and will post if I dig them out. We also collected cash for striking @nujofficial.bsky.social members at YP/YEP in Leeds, even though they all earned more than us!

For perspective, the rubbish wasn't collected for 6 weeks in Westminster and Camden.

West Berkshire will now only collect the bins, twice every 6 weeks.

Great for the vermin.
Great for overflowing bins.
Great for public health.
