50 for a £1, ideal for that brand new lampost on your street:

grand.

your yuppie has however been splashed with jam, not mugged.

It is a sign of how willing we are to co-operate with the AF - you provide the jam, we'll hit the yuppies!

Scalpels are indeed a crucial weapon in defending the NHS, I agree.

Not the best stickers I've ever seen. What purpose do they serve? Do you have much discussion around what you are aiming for in producing these stickers and do you get much feedback from people about them?

No we just produce them for the sake if it with the intention of pouring the groups money down the drain.

I think the best feedback you can get for that sort of thing is sales and orders - people were queuing up at the bookfair to get them, and I think we have had orders each day since then.

Quantifying how many written enquiries/web hits you get as a result from people seeing stickers is harder to quantify. In the days before the internet it was once worked out that you got 1 letter back for every 100 stickers put up- not sure how you quantify that now.

Yeh, but people at the bookfair were also queing up to buy animal rights t-shirts from active..

What I mean is do the stickers actually help further the class war project or are they just for shock-value and to get your name out there? Do you think that upon reading those stickers people will be able to relate your politics to their own lives?

Revol, tacks, cut it out. We're talking about serious issues here.

I am a bit confused by this. I thought shock value, and getting your name out there was the class war project?

Zobag we are talking about a new batch of Class War stickers I don't think there could be anything less serious.

30 October, 2006 - 10:35

a sarcasm bypass?

30 October, 2006 - 10:38

see i would normally assume that but cos there has been 4 days of "revol is so disruptive, no one uses the boards because of the culture yadda yadda" i thought Zobag was just putting out the mandatory disclaimer.

you mean you were reacting to a spectral message that wasn't really there? shock horror tongue

but isn't that spectre inherent in all speech, an excess of meaning, the communicative gap.

30 October, 2006 - 10:45

Serious issues wink aside I'd still appreciate it if you and Tacks could keep your tiff from spilling all over the forums.

edit - actually you could do it in the Wales forum, it's gone a bit dead in there of late

here we go, oh, but the excess is in fact merely the residue of being, which blah blah blah tongue

Nobody over here knows who those people are, not that that's your fault. It's the best of a bad bunch imho.

This is the one sticker I'm down with!

Fuck people with missing body parts! Fuck them and their special parking spaces!

the "same shit" one is quality, however the others seem stale and the one about the NHS is just an idle threat. On the other hand i reckon the "parasite" one would raise a few eyebrows round my way and probably result in a public lynching for a hooded teenager or a local minority!

31 October, 2006 - 16:28

Its odd, the quality of the print as improved being colour and all, but the everything else as got much worse. Whats with using "bastards" in everyother sticker?

CW used to have the best stickers, the 'no muggers, no burglars' and the old 'new homes for the rich' were quality, but I think I noticed the down turn with the CAMARA sticker.....

31 October, 2006 - 18:15

yes i concur the quality has gone down - the clours need to be better defined and better chosen - bastards should have an outline in contrasting colour.

The bastards thing is a series mate, it build continuity. Works fine to me.

The last series were better tho yeah

31 October, 2006 - 18:18

He meant the quality of the actual content tacks, not the colours. I agree with himm- they are pretty much a satire of what an enemy of ClassWar would have made.

Sorry, Paul.
