Greetings comrades of the NSF,
the MDF is a forum that has been meeting for about 7 years, generally in Leicester and occasionally in Birmingham. We'd like to invite all of you to our discussions, which are on the first weekend of the month (generally Sunday, but this month Saturday). Our next meeting is in Birmingham, on the 5th May, at the FoE building in Digbeth, at 2 pm; we'll be discussing 'is there a revolutionary alternative to capitalism?'
