Richard Shilcock reports on the CPB and People's Charter Stall in Edinburgh on Saturday 18th September 2010, he also seeks suggestions on developing this work. Let us know if you can help!
We were rained off very shortly after starting yesterday, but this last few weeks have been excellent, with four regular comrades on the 12.00-2.00 bookstall on Princes Street, allowing us to extend it to a second People's Charter stall.
The stall is providing an excellent focus for discussion among the comrades, and we have plenty of interesting meetings with passers-by. Many old CPGB
comrades make contact, as do communists from all round the world. The flag is now a regular landmark in Princes Street, and is a constant draw for photographers. Given the clampdown in many countries of eastern Europe, just flying the flag is an important statement to tourists.
The People's Charter stall attracts a trickle of petition signers, and we're distributing leaflets, but any advice is welcome on how to develop that stall.
