The UK's Pirate Party are celebrating 6 years since forming [pirateparty.org.uk] the party by launching a campaign retrospective; a series of blogs, posters, podcasts and videos.

On 30th July 2009, Andrew Robinson registered Pirate Party UK as a political party for the first time. Today, we are proud to celebrate our 6th Birthday, and launch #WeArrSix, our Pirate Party campaign retrospective.

Over the last 6 years, the world has changed dramatically, but Pirate Party UK have campaigned tirelessly for civil liberties, digital freedoms and democratic reform. During this time, PPUK have fought to create a dialogue around issues that are core to how people live in the modern age.

Over the next 4 weeks Pirate Party UK will be running a series of blogs, posters, podcasts and videos looking back over the last 6 years of UK political and Pirate history in detail, as well as looking ahead to the next 6. This includes raising the funds we need to make it all happen through a Crowdfunder at http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/WeArrSix [crowdfunder.co.uk]
