MOLE et In its attempt to railroad Angela Davis to jail the white American racist establishment has always been assured of plenty of support here in Britain. Outright fascist organisations such as the National Front, the Monday Club and defenders of the so-called white heritage like Enoch Powell are all in favour of crushing black militants. The racists must however, be particularly heartened by their latest supporter, one W.F.N. Carter, headmaster of the Bradford Usher Immigrant Centre. After all what could be more encouraging than to have the support of the headmaster of a school for immigrant children?And Mr. Carter leaves no one in doubt that he supports the attempt to legally murder or imprison Angela Davis.

Carter got upset when a letter appeared on his school desk explaining the facts concerning Angela Davis. In the best academic tradition he did not deign to write for further information or try to reach an objective judgement of the case. Instead he wrote the following letter to the local West Indian Afro Brotherhood who had despatched the material.

For my part, and for the good of the world, the quicker that Davis creature is removed from society the better.

Your letter I shall forward to Mrs. Thatcher, with my comments.

(signed) Mr. Carter P.S. I have in the end kept all the bumf to send to Mrs. Thatcher.

le've just been out on what we cal , "tar an feather" job.

We had a call that some silly girl had been seen walking out with a British Tommy.

She obviously had to be taught a lesson.

So B Company - that's our mob went down to her house, pulled her out of bed, tied her to a lamppost, her hair off, and covered her with a generous coating of tar and feathers.

Atter that the girls all stood around in a circle shouting and screaming ause.

Quite a strain on the lungs, I can tell you. Particularly since it was the third time this week.

But even then, our night!s work wasn't finished.

It's back to HQ for a few hours paper work - getting together all the evidence for Sir Edward Compton.

Evidence of the shocking brutality of the barbarous British troops. The girls shaved
