• Socialist Press pamphlet Dear Comrades, I am writing to enter your "Spot the Month of Action" competition. As you may know, West London is the place where Jack Dromey has his base in Southall. It may come as a surprise to you to know that activities have actually been organised in this area.
I enclose a leaflet which details events which started with meeting of 200 people in Brunel University on 2 November and will culminate in a big anti-Tory rally in Acton Town Hall on 25 November.
This rally will be addressed and-that indescribable champion of cuts strugglesAlan Fisher!
Other events include public meetings, conferences, leafleting and demonstrations in several towns such as Southall, Acton, Hounslow, Chiswick, etc.
I hope this information is sufficient to win me at least one copy of the pamphlet "Bring Down the Tories This Winter"
I also hope that your members and supporters will not, as you seem to have done, assume that no activities have been organised but will seek them out and argue as strongly as possible the need to kick out Thatcher's government and replace it with a workers' government.
The main point about SERTUC and similar bodies is not that they do not organise activities but that when they do mobilise people, they push their bankrupt alternative economic capitalist strategy down their throats rather than offering a fighting socialist programme.
Yours fratematte
