| Andy Brooks speaking |
Last weekend comrades gathered to
celebrate the 42nd anniversary of the foundation of the New
Communist Party at the Party Centre in London. Friends and comrades,
including three founder members, joined NCP leader Andy Brooks in celebrating
the anniversary of the Party that was established by Sid French in July 1977 to
challenge the ‘Eurocommunism’ and revisionism that was the dominant trend
within the British communist movement at the time.
Some friends, such as our comrades in the
RCPB(ML), were absent because they were taking part in the great Durham Miners’
Gala but their greetings, along with others that included the Workers Party of
Korea and the Korean Friendship Association, were read out during the formal
part of proceedings.
Comrades paused to remember two comrades
who had recently passed away – former New Worker editor Ann Rogers and Ernie
Hunt, an RCPB (ML) comrade who regularly supported our events, along with all
the others whose support and sacrifice has kept the NCP going for over 40
years.
In these troubled times the Party needs to
raise even more money to keep the New
Worker going and comrades responded to the appeal of NCP Chair Alex
Kempshall with the collection raised a stomping £2,240 for the fighting fund to
ensure the continued production of the {New Worker}.
