Description
A brown Communist Party poster that says "NF=HOLOCAUST" in the centre of the paper in large capitalised bold white writing. At the bottom it says 'A COMMUNIST PARTY POSTER.' This poster is comparing the national front to the holocaust, which can be inferred as comparing the NF to nazis. The National Front was a far-right fascist political party in Britain. It reached its height of popularity in the 1970s. In the mid to late 1970s there were many acts of racial violence from NF members towards Black people, and other people of colour. The party is a white supremacist group with eugenics and conspiracy theories underpinning its central ideologies. Support increased during the 1970s due to an influx of Black and Asian immigrants coming into Britain.
