So today’s real reactor battle is not over new ones, which essentially don’t exist. It’s about the risks posed by the old ones, all of which lack comprehensive liability insurance.

Opinion by Max Lane The Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, condemned the October 8 Palestinian offensive against apartheid Israel and supported the Israeli response with the shoddy, well-worn mantra: “Israel has the right to self-defence”.

After many false starts, setbacks and let-downs, we finally managed to pull off another one. It looks like we’ve covered our costs so we can do it again.
We thank: Rachel at Bad Hand Coffee Roasters, Dan for organising the gig, Tom for the sound, staff at the Four Horsemen, the Sporadics, Uncivilized, Grant Sharkey, Surfin’ Dave and our own M.C. Sukie; Speakers Mal Content, Barley, Nick Heath, Dr Roger Ball, Neil Birrell and Isabella Lorruso.
Thanks to all our stall holders, those who have supported us since the beginning and a few new faces, collective members who worked so hard before, during and after, the folks at Obsidian cafe, for putting up with our planning meetings, and of course, you the public, without whom there would be no bookfair.
Bollocks to all those who tried to stop it, and the anonymous babylon who felt the need to poke their nose in.
We still haven’t really got enough people to make it the breeze it ought to be, ideally we’d have one crew for the daytime event and another for the gig. So if you feel like getting involved, don’t be shy, we’re meeting again at Obsidian Cafe in Boscombe on 11th November at 14:30 to discuss future events including next year’s Bookfair.
It’s a marvellous opportunity to practice non-hierarchical organising, problem solving and personal responsibility, it builds confidence and initiative – and will cost you no more than a bit of time and effort!

“This constitutes collective punishment of a population that bears no responsibility for the violence and is illegal under international law. It will not contribute to peace and security, instead, it will further fan the flames of this crisis.”
The Israeli prime minister’s persistent obsession with the Islamic Republic may finally drag the US into another disastrous regional war. Egypt claims they warned Israel repeatedly but Israel deliberately ignored the warnings. Hezbollah is armed to the teeth by Iran and promised to open a second front, and today it openly began to join the war on the side of the Palestinians which could drag in Iran.
The war between Israel and Palestine divides the European Union
MEP Claire Daly criticizes Ursula von der Leyen for supporting Israel on behalf of the entire European Union: “Who do you think you are? You have not been elected and do not have the authority to determine the foreign policy of the European Union, which is set by the European Council. Europe does NOT ‘support Israel’. We are in favor of peace. Don’t speak for us. If you don’t have anything constructive to say, and you clearly don’t, shut up.”
