LORD HAFSHAM has bounced his large bumbling body into the middle of the General Election.
Formerly Quintin Hoge, Lord Chancellor und many other things, Lord Hailsham launched into 'red scare" tirades against the Labour Party that must have wetted the chops of every right-awing buffoon in the Taned.
Whist Heath was prattline on about "rational unity", our Lond was not half so restrzined. He compared life onder a Tabour Goverement to life in the Sovier Union. Farmers are faced with ruin" he sald, 'and, like the Soviet Enion, the bousewite is hegnning to suttor a shortage of poods in the shops -even of staple foods. Whatever the soceptability or otherwise 0f CapulalsHL, st ancans TEen. the virtoes of socialisin, it means short age."
What a load af drivel! Perhaps, Lord Hailsham, you are forgotting the oil crisis? Even the example Hnüsham gives SHEISE PEOSOY ERACELS BRE OPPOSLEG DE his anti-Communist diatrhe: Ibe shortapes of ol, sucir and salt have been created by the ararchy of the capitalist macker, and by the monopolies hoardIne coods and wailne lor prices to rse What zhout the meat and butter molntains" Oe the decizion or Csnadin capitalism lo dump 117 million tons of wheat into the sea, rather than reduce the price!
Only socialist tensures can tackle these problems. Not the pale pink polics of the present Labour Government, but solutions based on workirg ciass action. The real way forward lies in the actions like those of the Italian workers who solent corand douaskea tne waroouses stacked Tall of meat during their meat shortages, the Birmingham transport workers who are blacking a numner of Whatever pubs which overprice beer, and the London and Hull dockers who are relasing to losd sugar for profitecring exporten. Such actions can topple the large frame of Lord Hailshazn from his daydreaming fantasies with an almighty this winter and spring.
