Who are the three moderators. Are they on the IC and do they agree with the Vin's (SPGB member) permament ban from party forums, lists ?

Can the EC confirm that the following videos and twitter accounts have been authurised as per rule 17 ? As they "all may be reasonably construed as published by SPGB." https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFZgYrHuoQfjE0JBkd_h57ghttps://twitter.com/officialSPGBhttps://twitter.com/worldsocialismhttps://twitter.com/4SocialismNowhttps://twitter.com/imposs1916https://www.facebook.com/socialistpartyofgreatbritain/?fref=tshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/worldsocialism/ And there are many many more.
Vin wrote:Should this video be promoted on Youtube, Facebook etc ? It may not be professional but it gives a lot of information about the party and is our only introductory video out there. It answers important questions: Who are you? How are you different from other 'socialist' Parties? . Aren't humans too greedy for it to work? How can I contact you? Who is your leader? I am trying my best to promote the video as I know other comrades are.As a direct consequence of the EC's decision not to adopt – albiet by a slender majority – the video will receive no finance for promotion. I have to wonder what our absent comrades who left inheretance for propaganda would think of this situation?YFS
Vin said: thanks for that Alan. I have tweeted this to the program and will send it via other routes "Re your program #mackems http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p044fqv6 … Perhaps #corbyn would understand this #socialist message in #mackem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKdMi39yr8Q "
Vin said:I posted Spencer's video on spopen last year as an example of what the party should be doing.https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/spintcom/conversations/messages/16794 Perhaps a party video committee would be a good start. It could come up with a script similar to Spencer's. Some experimentation[/quote]

This is what the party needs. 20 million views Imagine such a video going out in the name of the party mentioning the SPGB!! I watched this some time ago and spoke to Spencer about him helping the party produce a similar video for payment but he politely declined He explained he only did personal videos and didn't do it for money.We need a video introducing the Party and this is a great style and example.
Sympo wrote:I was slightly put off with the caricatures and drawings of people, like the one portraying David Cameron. I would prefer actual pictures of Cameron and other pro-capitalist politicians or capitalists.This might sound silly but I found the picture at 1:55 to be a little inappropriate. An actual picture of some capitalists would be better. The same goes with that cartoon at 1:04.After one minute of the video drums start playing. Is this a part of the song playing or is it a combination of two songs? Either way it sounded a little weird to me.The music is a little wimpy and sad in my opinion. Perhaps no music at all would be better?The sound of the alarm clock is unnecessary and loud.Again, no offence to anybody.Sympo, Vin has asked me to post this.Hi Sympo,I very much appreciate your constuctive criticisms and I am not offended in the least. It fact it is what I need as I am producing the video on my own. I dont like the caricatures myself; I used them because of fear of copyright or complaint. I just somehow thought I needed permision. Perhaps I could have some legal advice? I notice they are used in newspapers and the Socialist Standard. But that is something that I can change.I can also improve my diction, or use an alternative speaker, just needed someone to advise me and thanks for that. Much appreciated.The drums are not part of the song, they are war drums, symbolic of the class war that is raging, so I am surprised you find them 'wimpy' As a musician I noticed they were out of sync with the music (BPM) I intended to correct it when I found the relevant buttons to press in Vegas Pro software. That is probably why you find them 'weird'I deliberately made the alarm clock irritating and again sympolic of how workers cannot ignore the economic imprative of wage slavery.The party has no introductory video and a 'professional' production would cost thousands. With a little support and constructive criticism, I am capable of producing one for nothing as I, like the rest of us in this party, wish to end capitalism.All the bestvinAgain thanks for your contribution.

I have to let you know that in light of the above the EC rescinds your appointment to the Audio-Visual Committee"Vin has asked me to say "Democratic Centralism at its best, as is my continued censorship by a central committee"
