Remembering Ron Brown

The death of the, ahem, colourful MP Ron Brown reminded me of one of my favourite political posters, posted everywhere in my student days.

Mr Brown, then sitting for Labour, had visited Afghanistan during the Soviet ascendancy there. He claimed that he had "seen no tanks". A picture then emerged of him standing proudly in front of a huge tank.

The Federation of Conservative Students reprinted the picture and the quote with this accompanying slogan:

Warning - Socialism damages your eyesight

Anyone still got one?
