Cards hark

Satirical postcards are our favourite way of imparting a brief, but telling, radical message. Postcards are cheap, cheerful and much more green than the increasingly expensive greetings cards which use paper for envelopes. Eye received one of Leeds Postcards' marvellous cards recently, 'God Wants to Know'. Christine Hankinson runs Leeds Postcards and she is one of those canny business people who can manipulate the market for radical causes. 'I like to get issue groups into the High-street' she told Eye, 'because that's where they need to be.'
Do you remember the famous Leeds Postcard which showed Margaret Thatcher stealing the purse from a woman's basket?
