To me it looks like a BNP poster and was in support of them by the person who posted it.

Dear mikegreen,

OK - So why the vehement opposition to Conservatism to the extent of following the New Labour play book of throwing mud at them and those who you think will vote for them?

Best Regards,

An Evil Libertarian.

Splitter. Your Party newspaper, The New Worker, states that you should vote Labour.

From Wiki
Quote:
The NCP began to internally criticise the Soviet Gorbachev leadership in 1988 and following the collapse of the Soviet Union the party established relations with communist and workers parties throughout the world. In the 1990s Party Congresses adopted resolutions repudiating and denouncing Khruschev's anti-Stalin 20th Congress speech and defining its ideology around the "great revolutionary teachers of humanity, Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin" and the "great revolutionary leaders of the struggling masses, Mao Zedong, Kim Il Sung, Fidel Castro and Ho Chi Minh".

In April 1992 the New Communist Party was one of the initial signatories of the Pyongyang Declaration, along with 77 other communist, workers, socialist and progressive parties worldwide. Entitled Let Us Defend and Advance the Cause of Socialism, the declaration was the first statement made by the international communist movement since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and to date has been signed by around 250 parties.
In 2003 the NCP adopted an entirely new rule book, with the aim of building a monolith party and based on the principles laid down by the old Communist International.

The party is politically closest to what it sees as anti-revisionist Communist Parties who would see the Soviet leadership from Nikita Khrushchev onwards as stepping away from socialism. Internationally it supports Cuba, China, Vietnam, Laos and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The NCP regularly attends the international conferences organised by the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), and May Day events organised by the Workers Party of Belgium (PTB/PvdA).

In the UK, the NCP has very close relations with the Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist), despite having major programmatic differences on the question of the Labour Party.
Amusing that someone criticising our Electoral Process is a voter for a Party that supports countries that are single-party states......

Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 4

It was revealed today, that if the Tories get in, they will make deep cuts in services to save money, All those promises that they have made, what a load of crap that they come out with.

I have said all along that they will make cuts in everything, and now they have said that PARENTS will be responisble for own children education, therefore saving money on education.

I watched Clegg get heckled today, and my word did he get heckled, and then we had Brown stand up and be counted in a manner that is what a PM is all about.

All this garbage coming from Camron's mouth, IF people vote for him, we the working class of this country are going to be worse off than ever. VOTE LABOUR

Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 4

Arthur, where was this revealed, please? Perchance would it be the Mirror, or by a Labour Party spokesperson?

On an equally humourous note, on the BBC Election Page live event page, this was just posted by Laura Keunssberg at 12:45, the reporter
Quote:
Clegg calls for an 'end to Lord Ashdown' - clearly he meant Lord Ashcroft but suggested his old boss Paddy should get out of politics! Oops.
Freudian slip, or what?

Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 4

Oh the Sunday Mirror was marvelous yesterday, they showed the polls gave the tories a 10 point lead, and gave a graph to demonstrate the results after the past few weeks.
Labour were on 28%, the same as the week before, so you'd expect a flat line between the two right? Nope, not in Mirror land, the line went up from last week's 28% to this week's 28%
And people mock the Heliograph for poor reporting

Sometimes I wonder what strange universe you actually live in Arthur. Last week you were talking like a real die-hard BNP fan, this week GB is your icon.

Do you seriously believe that only the Conservatives will make cuts if they get in? You think Labour (who ****ed all this money down the drain in the first place, with nothing to show for it) can get it all back, while still building an economy based purely on a huge public sector?

Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 4

Yes it was in The Mirror, page 8, BUT l have reason to believe this, l am sure you remember what happened the last time the Tories were in power, l was ashamed to be a voter.

As soon as Cameron gets in, the first cuts will be NHS, no matter what Cameron say's, they believe in the private sector for health, as it will save them millions, Education, they have stated in this campaign, that would like to see parents take more control of there school and there child's education, this will save them more millions,.

We have to have a government that will look after EVERYONE, not just the ponces who plough millions into the parties, the working class in this country that supply the food that we eat, the workers that run the railways, public sector workers that provide vital services, ie drs and nurses that look after the sick for a paltry wage, yet the pen pushers that bring in agency staff, as double wages, when normal staff can get the extra money to boost there normal wages.

I don't think the Tories will do this, this is why l say VOTE LABOUR.
