Answer:

The poster clearly shows the position of the British Anti-Apartheid Movement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poster is ironic: at first, it seems to be showing support to the sending of British arms, with the phrase "british arms will make a great contribution to South Africa's way of life".

However, below in the poster, and after the bold and large letters of the initial phrase have captured the reader's attention, the poster explains that with the British arms, a minority of white people could push around a majority of black people in South Africa. Would that be fair? obviously not, it would be unfair, and racist, and that is the message that the poster is trying to convey.
