NAME. The Workers Revolutionary Party, who so often bandy around accusations that the IMG and other groups are full of police agents, have found a new ally. Home Secretary Roy Jenkins admonished policemen who persistentiv heckled him at the Police Federation Conference in Blackpool for "behaving like International Marxists'.
We can assure the WRP that we have not established a cell in the police force, and they and Mr Jenkins can also rest assured that the only police cells IMG members are likely to see in the near tuture are those with bars on. Nor are the international Marxists' in the police force likely to be sending us a donation from their conference. For some strange reason the Home Office and Scotland Yard do not subsidise the IMG-perhaps that is because we are for smashing the capitalist state and putting So that brings us back to the question-where do we get our money from? This is the first issue of the new month and the long climb towards our monthly target begins again. Last month we just scraped home. This month we need to pass the target of £500 and again we appeal to all our readers to send a donation. With vour help we can make it: Red Weekly Fund Drive, 182 Pentonville Road, London N1.

Trying to defeat the press clamour for a public inquiry, Chief Constable McNee issued a statement stressing the 'fact that no demonstrators were injured while 18 police had received hospital treatment. The President of the Glasgow Bar. Association, a well-known Tory, immediately denounced MeNee's statement: he called it astonishing and 'unprecedented' and declared that the Chief Constable had prejudiced the trials of those arrested Defence lawyer Kevin Breslin promptly filed ten charges of assault for McNee to investigate against identified policemen.
An IMG press statement, widely quoted by the press, radio and television, exposed the absurdity of McNee's remark that no demonstrators had filed complaints when they were arrested. The police had removed identification numbers. Unidentifiable Special Branch officers had carried out many of the arrests. Legal and medical aid was refused to all prisoners. Finally, the Daily Record pointed out that there was no record of any police officer being treated at any city hospital on the Saturday night!
PLATFORM
The right-wing Labour clique controlling Glasgow District Council decided to give the fascists their first Labour-authorised platform in Glasgow knowing full well that the police planned to enforce the decision by 'smashing the left. Two days before the mass picket a Labour Councillor remarked to an IMG member: 'Let's face it. We all know there's going to be a riotous situation'
