GPDG: Ecstasy Testing Kits

But all their local links on health issues etc or their own policy (on the left hand side) are missing (code 404, missing page)

yet all their sales pitches for the E testing kits and some books are still there

been like it for some weeks TBH, i even thought of ringing their head office in London to ask what the score was, but it remains the same just days before an election… and is it my job to do their spin doctors work for them?

not a priority for the party now? too much of a hot potato for discussion?

I am seeing a green party 404 page so its highly unlikely IMO there is some conspiracy and British Telecom is censoring the sites..

I would like to assume its a simple oversight but its disappointing given the amount of thought given to the rest of the policies on the website….

I have noticed this too. It is disappointing, it’s not only that area either, the site seems to span a generation of 2-3 versions of the website, with broken links all over the shop.

It’s not your job to inform them, but it’d probably be appreciated. I don’t think the Green Party shy away from difficult discussion at all and therefore it’s not too much of a “hot potato”. What sets the Green Party apart from other leftist parties is that the SWP, SLP, SPGB etc. are far too militant for the political environment. They’re “no compromise, angry revolutionist” pitch just doesn’t wash, the Green Party hold similar views on a lot of things but pitch it in a much more accessible way for this generation. The SLP standing here (Scargill’s party, well it is Yorkshire innit) are far to traditionalist, they still haven’t left the late 70’s. Good ideals, wrong distribution.

the drugs site alone or the main party website?

I’ve not found a duff link yet on the main party website, which does look like its had a lot more effort put into it..

their drugs policy pointer (updated April 2008) is here so I suspect its absence from the drugs site(!) is purely an honest mistake…

Does this mean if you order a testing kit from the site you won’t receive it?
