The future of UK Independent presses hang by a thread. Supporting the sector is vital: this is where ALL the bravery lies. The big houses are risk averse, but copycat small press successes to revitalise their lists. Small presses are the motor!

'Regret of Other Days': Belgium born Symbolist artist Ferdinand Khnopff (1852-1921) produced some haunting work that are more like visions than paintings. The world he presents us with has already passed into the silent realm of shadows & the half-glimpsed.

You shouldn't only care about the rights of disabled people because it may be you one day.

You should care because it's the right thing to do, for other humans who deserve life, love, and support.
