WHITE NO SUGAR

Stand Uptivist Mark Thomas will be joining a Brighton demo against Starbucks, Guantanemo torturer�s favourite coffee chain, on October 24th. A new branch was recently opened in St James St, heart of the independent cafe culture, without proper planning permission � and it is currently trading as a �shop�, most certainly not a cafe. But You wouldn�t know by looking at it.

Then again you wouldn�t know from their cheery d�cor how they ban union membership, screw third world suppliers and do their bit for climate change by ordering staff to leave taps running at all times.

There are regular protests outside every Saturday 12-2pm. See www.brightonactivist.net
