    Our candidate in Islington North (Corbyn's constituency), Bill Martin, will be interviewed on the Jeremy Vine (not to be confused with Jeremy Kyle) programme on BBC Radio 2 on Wednesday 17 May between 12pm and 2pm. It will be the usual two-minutes allowed to "other candidates".

    in reply to: General Election 2017 campaign #126988

    We had three enquiries immediately after the broadcast direct to Head Office email asking for more information . One wrote:

    Quote:
    Just seen a member of your party on the daily politics. Well done to him. He came across well. Just a shame that a so called impartial programme and ignorant people have to share the air waves. Is your party based on the work Jacque Fresco promotes and if not do you share the same future as what he would like to see unfold? If so i would be interested in joining your party.
