Baltic States sigh at Labour hypocrisy

Baltic States sigh at Labour hypocrisy

Dear Salient,

Another example of blatant Labour hypocrisy has recently been evidenced with the late Prime Minister's formal recognition of Russian sovereignty over the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. These states were deprived of their natural liberty after the second world war by Russia's cruel and calculating expansionist policy. Baltic culture, and language still survives proudly, and the people who foster Latvian, Estonian, and Lithuanian life are physical manifestations of a deep rooted hope and need for freedom.

The Labour Party can stop rugby tours from South Africa, as a demonstration of their abhorrence for the inequalities which exist in that country. However the shackles which bound the Baltic people, are forgotten by our freedom fighting labourmen, as they coldly smile and accept Soviet despotism.
