THE PUBLIC FACE OF MILITANT. 1982.

Leeds: ILP Square One Publications, 1982

21 x 15cm, 16pp plus card covers. Stapled. Political pamphlet exposing the Trotskite tactics of the Militant Tendency who “entered” the Labour Party as a strategy to recruit for their own selfish aims. It took years for the Labour leadership to expel them (at a conference where I attended living in a rented flat under Tony Benn’s room above, Kinnock’s speech was received by myself and comrades with uproar and a loud attempt to let the Militant-sympathiser Benn know what we thought). Somewhat scarce but essential reading which even today expose the continuing tactics of ultra-left groupings like Momentum (albeit that is a broad grouping not an established party but contains some Trotskite people). VG+ although some very mild grubbiness to the wrappers.
