Countering capenhurst – New year 2025

This is very much an update edition of Countering Capenhurst as we are very overstretched with having to deal with a number of other important issues at present.

That said we could do with a few more activists to help out with the work – Especially to join us leafleting the various stations with the DRS nukiller waste trains go through. If you can help out that way then do email us.
