Manifesto Club books

We use print-on-demand technology to produce books on contemporary freedom issues, with sharp content and original looks (design by Tom Mower). In an age where book publishing is becoming more monopolised, this is cottage-industry publishing by 21st-century freedom fighters.

If you are interested in distributing or publicising these books to your organisation or mailing list, please do get in touch.

Nous c'est Non EU PHRASEBOOK: 27 WAYS TO SAY, 'NO DOESN'T REALLY MEAN NO'.

Four times, European voters have said ‘No’ to European Union treaties. Four times, European leaders responded by effectively saying, No doesn’t really mean no.

The EU Phrasebook: 27 Ways to Say ‘No Doesn’t Really Mean No’ documents 27 different ways in which politicians from all 27 EU countries sought to avoid or neutralise these no-votes. Politicians said: ‘people didn’t understand the treaty’, ‘No voters are ungrateful’, or ‘There is no Plan B’. They treated the vote as an obstacle around which to manoeuvre.
