Issue No. 240: Saturday October 11, 1997
The Times newspaper headlined its report of Tony Blair's
Labour conference speech "To Thatcher -- a son". A report was
issued detailing the overwhelming support of Britain's bosses for the Labour
government and its policies. Blair even topped Thatcher as their favourite
politician. They had every reason to be pleased with the proceedings at
Blackpool.
A central conclusion of the Workers Inquiry into BSE/CJD
convened by the Socialist Equality Party is confirmed by the results of
two new investigations published in the October 2, issue of Nature.
-- "New Variant" CJD is BSE in human form.
For the past decade-and-a-half, defenders of the profit
system have hailed the rapid economic expansion of South East Asia as proof
of the triumphal march of capitalism and the dynamism of the market.
On October 19 the Socialist Equality Party in America
will hold a public meeting to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the death
of Tom Henehan, a leading member of the Trotskyist movement who was gunned
down at the age of 26 in Brooklyn, New York.
