Description
White poster with black text reading 'Communists say' and large purple text reading 'Keep out of the common market', 1972 This is a poster issued by the Communist Party to campaign against Britain's membership of the EEC (European Economic Community), which was later integrated into what became the EU (European Union). The Communist Party were against Britain being part of the EEC as the EEC provided no worker protection and refused to adopt full employment as one of its objectives. There was also a concern that British wages would suffer as a result of competition with lower paid workers overseas. This poster was published by the Communist Party and printed by Farleigh press. Writing on the back reads: 'D/C sets of 4 posters, May
1972 (General election now!, no rent increases!, Keep out of the common market, Smash the industrial relations act!)' Condition: good
