EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured in 1982, Communist Party delegates, including Janey Glen from Yorkshire at the center of the frame, are seen exercising their democratic right to vote in London. The members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) have gathered together to make a crucial decision regarding American bases in Britain for Cruise missiles.
The tension and determination on their faces are palpable as they hold up their papers and cast their votes against the presence of these weapons on British soil. This moment captures a pivotal point in history where pacifism and anti-war sentiments were at the forefront of political discourse.
As each delegate places their ballot into the box, it is clear that they are united in their stance against militarization and foreign intervention. The scene is a testament to the power of collective action and solidarity within leftist movements.
This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of political engagement and activism in shaping our society. It stands as a symbol of resistance against imperialism and war-mongering policies, reflecting a time when individuals came together to fight for peace and justice.
