MAYBE it won't be June, but maybe it will be. Whenever it comes, one thing's for sure, we've got to kick out the Tories.
The question is what sort of Labour government do we want! And the answer is a different one from the last one.
Class Fighter supporters have been working in the Labour Party to make sure that a future Labour government sticks to Conference policies, and MPs who don't can be got rid of.
The Labour Party Campaign Document (the basis for the manifesto) sets out to ignore and fudge conference decisions Public opinion alone won't stop the missiles coming Those who control arms expenditure and the army, the ruling class, won't give up their weapons without a fight. And that fight won't just be with words. To make sure we get rid of the bomb demands a political fight to take power away from That tight starts now, and we need to be clear that the, only force strong enough to deprive Thatcher and Reagan of their missiles is the organised working class. Tha Labour Movement has the power to stop production and distribu-l tion, the power to stop a government dead in its tracks.
So don't just vote Labour, join it and make it fight to l change society, get rid of the bombs and the warmongering; - in fact the document is ratt "At the heart of this manifesto ... lies the Social Contract between the Labour Government and the unions."
