TIME TO BOYCOTT THE USA - every individual in Europe (and yes, the UK is part of Europe) can do something: stop buying US products. Together we can indeed have an impact. Tell everyone you know why you are boycotting the USA. This is the start of a long journey towards freedom from USAn imperialism.

I've just discovered a box with some ties and scarves we produced together for students and staff involved in the Historical Geography of Viticulture course at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College in the 1980s and 1990s. Should any of you who did the course like to have one, just let me know!
