This is scanned newsprint, not web text. The original PDFs carried no text layer at all, so every word here was read off the page by OCR. Expect dropped opening letters, run-together words and wrong characters. There was no contents page to cut the paper up by, so the articles were found from the size of their headlines: a headline may carry its kicker, and where an article ran beside a boxed panel a few lines of the neighbour can appear. The scanned issue is the authority; this text is here so the words can be found at all.

war The season of peace and goodwill will soon be upon us. Yet Bush and Blair are intent on slaughtering thousands of Iraqi women, men and children.

To expose this hypocrisy the Stop The War Coalition is producing giant Xmas cards with Don't Attack Iraq on the front and Give Peace A Chance on the back. We are asking all groups, organisa tions and trade unions to go to their local shopping centres on Saturday 14th December and get as many people as possible to sign the cards. We are also asking people to take these cards to their workplaces, colleges and universities in the days leading up to the 14th December and asking people to sign them. All cards will then be returned to the office where we will organise for them to be handed in to Tony Blair. Cards are available from the office at 50 pence each, so please ring in your order as soon as possible. Contact the Stop the War Office 0207 053 2155/6
