What with the usual seasonal delays, and posties striking for the payrise they deserve…

… Its about time to order your copy of

THE LONDON REBEL HISTORY CALENDAR 2023

… if you want it in time for the New Year, that is…

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Past Tense’s latest calendar of London’s radical history: rebellious, riotous and campaigning anniversaries from the capital’s past, for every day of 2023…

Researched, designed, laid out by Past Tense. But written by the hands of thousands, over centuries…

Offset litho printed, in uproarious full colour, by the lovely People For Print (Sheffield). 
For those of you complaining ’cause you liked the artisan risograph chic of our previous calendars – yeah well. Riso printing it al ourselves was time-consuming, exhausting physically, and while great, just not something sustainable this year for one reason and another. Anyway variety is the lice of strife or something.

Colourful, useful and inspiring if you love history and social change.
Overflowing with anger, humour and striking images.

And it’s only £10, (plus P&P if ordered online)

So how can you get your hands on this fabulous item?!
