Folk Form # 1 BS: Combat Trotskyphobia (98* d) BS: Combat Trotskyphobia 23 Dec 07


What can we do to stop discrimination against Trotskyites? Trotskyphobia is rampant throughout the UK at the moment. As soon as an employer finds out that someone is a member of a Trotskyite party, they cannot get jobs, they can lose jobs they already have, Higher education does not want to know them, and they can come under the surveillance of the secret service. The vast majority of Trotskyites are decent hard working people who want nothing better than to live their lives peacefully with their neighbours. They are very public spirited and frequently are active within the local community, especially trade unions. They are a credit to this country. Just think how culturally impoverished this country would be without Vanessa and Corim Redgrave, or how ill informed we would be without the journalism of the late Paul Foot, or how starved of intellectual nourishment we would be without the speeches and writings of Gerry Healy, who has also passed on. Trotskyites have made a valuable contribution to this country. The discrimination they face day in and day out should be recognised and efforts to stamp out Trotskyphobia should be made in all levels of society. Maybe an anti-Trotskyphobia unit should be set up by Ken Livingstone. Stamp out Trotskyphobia in London and maybe the rest of the country would follow suit.
