Poison Bottle of Tory Cuts T-shirts

As part of its contribution to the fight against the coalition governments cuts offensive, the Ken Sprague Fund has produced a new T-shirt and postcards, based on Ken’s renowned ‘poison bottle’ design for the campaign against the anti-trade union laws in the eighties.

The Ken Sprague Fund was set up shortly after his death in 2004, to celebrate and build on his multi-faceted artistic creativity, humanitarianism and commitment to justice for working people. Central to Ken’s work was the trade union movement. He designed a number of union banners and produced whole series of campaigning materials for most of our unions. It is fitting that his legacy is commemorated by reviving one of his most successful symbols for this new campaign against the Con-Dem cuts.

The Fund hopes the ‘Poison Bottle of Tory cuts’ will become a rallying symbol for this campaign too.

Price is £10 plus £2 p&p and they come in XL, L and M. Postcards £10 for pack of 10.

The Ken Sprague Fund is a non-profit-making organisation. See: http://www.kenspraguefund.org/
