WE
CELEBRATED the founding of the New Communist Party (NCP) in the usual way at a
reception at the Party Centre in London on 9th July. Friends and
comrades, old and new, joined NCP leader Andy Brooks and Party Chair Alex
Kempshall in celebrating the anniversary with speeches. food and drink, and a
bumper collection that raised over £3,000!
NCP leader Andy Brooks spoke about the long
struggle against revisionism and the fight for peace and socialism led by the
Party that was established under the leadership of Sid French in July 1977.
Some friends, like our comrades in the
RCPB (ML), were absent because they were taking part in the great Durham
Miners’ Gala. Others, like Ambassador Hyon Hak Bong from the London embassy of
the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Dermot Hudson from the UK Korean
Friendship Association, paid tribute to the NCP’s consistent solidarity and its
staunch support for the communist ideal during the formal part of the
proceedings.
Much of our efforts, National Treasurer
Daphne Liddle said, revolve around the {New
Worker}, which has survived for the past 39 years solely through the
dedicated support of our readers. That was shown on the night with a collection
that raised £3,111.69 for the fighting fund!
