We will soon be putting an X through our X account and forever abandoning posting on it in future. We cannot support enriching a man who undermines our democracies in Europe and is part of a regime of thugs which bans books and attacks individual freedoms.

Please continue to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, we will soon start to build our presence on Bluesky @munsterlitcentre.bsky.social
