Great news - all the other unsuccessful countries were just practicing 'the wrong type of communism'. |  | | |

Our freedom won't be won through the ballot box. I hope they're just as busy tooling up for the revolution. |  |

Whereas this country is fast becoming a banana republic by practising a desperately unsuccessful form of capitalism. |  |

'The party was represented on Leiston Town Council for several years - although that was always seen as a personal vote for good local councillors rather than an indication that the town was particularly revolutionary'.
Interesting that Leiston would have Communists when the Nuclear Power Plants are so nearby, I wonder if they were on the MI5 watchlist at any point
The Tory Government were very twitchy about this in the 80's |  |

the town i live in, before it was swallowed up by suffolk coastal, use to vote in 3 communists every local election right from the late 40s till 1974. when the town could build their own housing stock it had more council houses per 1000 people than most other towns in suffolk.

Yes our democracy is woeful. And I agree our economic model needs to shift slightly leftward.
However, if you think communism is preferable to our current standard of living, you obviously need to travel more. | | | |

In the 1970s/80s (and before) all CP members were on a watch list.
And until the explosion of university education, MI5 automatically opened a file on every undergraduate. | |

When Garretts was winding down at the start of the 1970s Leiston, along with Northern Ireland, was for a while the the unemployment table topper in these islands. Hence the local enthusiasm for far left candidates. There are theories that the location of the Sizewell nuclear power station had already been influenced by a ready supply of unquestioning labour in the 1960s:

i didn't say it in my post, but i was talking about leiston. we use to have several communist councillors.
a.s. neil the founder of summerhill school inspired several people in the town to become communist councillors. a lot of the men of leiston were japanese p.o.w. and were anti tory
due their colonel sucking up to the japs so he got better treatment while a lot of them starved and beaten to death.
mind you when said colonel became tory m.p. for eye he was run out of leiston when he came to canavas | |
