If you grew up in Notts and don’t partake in meat, you probably owe a huge debt to Patrick Smith. Why? Because he’s spent three decades as a vegan activist while slinging veggie burgers from a van in town, back in the day when ‘vegetarian option’ meant ‘just chips’. Now operating his veggie business out of the Sumac Centre in Forest Fields, he talks about a meat-free career, the Ra…

Squats raided, pre-emptive arrests, websites closed down, and lots we don't know about .... yet.

Holiday on Friday and the Market Square was full of folks enjoying the sun.
A Capoeira session started up by the lions in front of the Council House and was hugely enjoyed by those there and those passing by. A few having a go for the first time. Warden patroling the area looked on with a bit of sour face :-)

Numbers of sabs has gone through the roof – we're usually a 20-30+ strong group now, and when we've met with others from further afield there's been 60+ of us! The Manchester group has been revived and has become a strong ally in the battle to protect wildlife & we've even got a sizable Doncaster contingent now." (Nort…

The Shut Down Heckler & Koch campaign has been picketing the factory in Lenton for over 4 years now. With more recent events in the Middle East, a new urgency is apparent to consider where such weapons are ending up, arming represive regimes.
