A GENERAL SYNOPSIS 1

We ’ve tried marching,we’ve tried Stop the Cities, tried tearing down thefences of Greenham_,Chilwell,Faslane,,Molesworth and god knows whereelse.We are no_w trying to kick the wall down instead of being bricks.I think that with more co=ordination and planning we ’ll start to makeour presence felt.Now that the Miners are going back'to work bitter,and angry.We could see the birth of a new movement for change,thenagain maybe not.I am not mto making predictions.

lb I '0' , 7 __H_________,__,____~_ LTime has now officially run out. We will now be stuck in a sort oflimbo for about another seven to ten years, then the cycle willrepeat again.Or not, if you do something.We can still run about in the fields,but I want to do it in theknowledge that I am truly free.
