If this Government stopped behaving like Tories we wouldn’t need a pay dispute. As for Latin America, there are several Governments there who are doing rather better for their workers than ours is for us. And as for MI5, I wish on the one hand that the Government had not made itself so deeply unpopular that no one needs to conspire against it, and on the other hand that the trade union movement was still sufficiently significant to warrant the attentions of the security services.

We could end with another winter of discontent. Can’t they do that to the tories.

But we need to stop inflation which could destroy the economy. What if these strikes are just MI5 plots ot bring down the government? We shpuld get the rich taxed more. But we do need to keep wages under control we do not want to end like latin america.
