ETHIS WINTER!
Available, price 45p including postage from WSL, BM Box 5277, London WCIV 6XX. A brand new pamphlet, spelling out programme and perspective for struggle to oust the Tories. collaborated with imperialist repression.
A number of trade union and Labour leaders have now signed the petition launched by Charter 80 which supports the humanitarian demands of the prisoners, without declaring a position on the role of imperialism in Ireland.
Put to test
But such gestures of humanitarian concern must now be put to the test-and these leaders must now be called upon to take up the fight for tangible solidarity action in the British working class to support the struggles of the Irish prisoners of war.
Socialist Press, while deeply critical of the programme and methods of the republican movement upholds the right of all opponents of British imperialism in Ireland to take up arms in the struggle for national liberation: we support the demand of the republican prisoners to be recognised as Prisoners of War.
We regard this as an essential part of the fight for the immediate withdrawal of British troop troops to allow Irish people to determine their own future.
We call on our readers and supporters to play the fullest possible part in the solidarity actions that will be taking place in every locality, and the national demonstration called in London for December 7.
Resolutions
At the same time trade unionists, students and Labour Party members must urgently press resolutions through their branches and national organisations demanding • the fullest possible support for the Irish prisoners in their struggle against a savage and intransigent Tory government.

Socialist Press has devoted considerable space to showing how the present programme and to murder scores every day in a bloody tactical impasse.
Recently the remaining civilians in the Junta have announced 'elections' and a return to 'normalisation'. by which Salvador will fall to popular forces just because Nicaragua did so.
There is no necessary point at which a barbaric dictatorship, without scruples and the slightest vestige of popular backing is ditching of the disastrous, second-hand Sandinista policy of "Broad Alliances'.
