the Labour Government. Also on the question of the AUEW Clay Cross and The Conference is basically to Tentind the Labour Government most strongly that we're not prepared to accept this 'minority Government to carry our a minority form of Socialism. If the Tories could bring it down and it went to an election they would win hands down, so why the hell don't they carry our some Socialist policies-confront them and shove them into a corner so they can't creep any further. So all this talk about anarchy and the Rule of Law can be thrown away I've known enough about the law in the last two years, and I know that the law is made of plastic-it only needs to be challenged and it can be The resolutions will not be written before the conference and then put to it. The resolutions will be made up by speakers from the platform and from the Noor, composited and then put to the vote.

But the problem is that this conference won't be quite like those culled by the Liaison Committee for the Defence of Trade Unions (LCDU). They were composed of trade unionists who could go back to their branches, shop stewards committees etc, with a call for industrial action. Although we have issued some 200 delegates credentials to trade union hodjes, there will bein the main constituen If the trade unionists want to propose industrial action they can do so. I would advocate strike action if it was necessary. We should have had such a call from the leadership, who should be elected, not appointed, and re-clected just like local councillons and shop stewards ete.
