If the Young National Front is stamped out in schools it will be no thanks to the Communist Party and the Morning Star'.
The paper on January 21 devoted its front page story to the NF drive to recruit in schools which abandoned any attempt at a class solution to the young Nazis.
Bourgeois law
The headline-Your Children in Danger-Keep the hate peddlers out of the classrooms-could have come from the Daily Mirror. Most of the text could have been written by Patience Strong.
Its opening reduces the crimes of the Front to breaches of bourgeois law.
"The government must now be compelled to act against the persistent violations of the Race Relations Act by the National Powell The Communist Party says that a smear campaign is being waged against "any teacher left of Enoch Powell".
But the class traitors of the Morning Star cast their net wide enough to embrace Enoch Powell, Churchill and the most vicious right wingers in the Tory Party. "Did our people fight a bloody war against this fascist doctrine just to see it poison the minds of our children once again only 30 years after that terrible conflict?

If Heffer was If Heffer was seriously going to fight the the cash to boost the the cash National rage y would have to begin b! splitting the Callaghan/Stee Coalition. And he would hav to mobilise the ranks of thi Labour and trade unior movement to oust the clas collaborating pro-Marketeer from the Party leadership.
