Party Chorus
Party Chorus
When the Seamen's Union was deregistered last year, the parliamentarians and the press gloated 'its your own fault'. The Labour Party, to which the seamen were affiliated, joined in the chorus applauding deregistration. When dissenters wrote to express their horror at the party's actions, they were sent statistics about all the industrial hold-ups the seamen had caused and a quote from some F.O.L. statement slating troublemaking minorities.
