In Hounslow we have found that fighting for our politics in the YS, despite Militant's cynical bureaucratic manoeuvres, has resulted in a real growth in our suppoft. We have been able to build a dialogue with youth who had never heard of Class Fighter but who had heard af the Labour Party! Our orientatiion to the working class, taking up the women's; gays, Ireland and national iberation struggles has provoked a positive response from comrades: who were having their minds numbed by the Militant.

We are currently planning to fight the next round of cuts with older comrades in the unions and the local CLPS.

Keep up the defence of the LPYS, keep building the LPYS, keep building Outselves!
