Rank and file or broad left booklet - is this amongst the reasons why Mark Jenner spied on the Colin Roach Centre?

Mark Jenner of the Special Demonstration Squad was secretary of the DEFEND BRIAN HIGGINS CAMPAIGN.
The Colin Roach Centre published this booklet by Brian and parts of it were cited in an unsuccessful
libel attack by a UCATT official. Parts of this booklet were also found in the blacklisting files of the Consulting Association when it was raided and closed down in 2009. Clearly the state thought it was important and it is reproduced here for anyone who is interested. It is not intended to enter into debate on the contents of the booklet itself.

So what was the latter? Here is the report of 1988-90 on it.

Where's the resistance to the Tories?






Around 8,000 people attended the 6 March London demonstration
in support of the Kurds. 

Sunderland demonstration organised by Unite Community against the benefit sanctions that
are increasingly being used to impoverish claimants. 

Junior Doctors on strike last week at the Calderdale Royal Hospital. They urgently need support
from the trade union and labour movement if they are to win their dispute and deal a blow
to the Tories plans to finish off the NHS for good. 

Around 50 people attended the Leeds Hands Off Our Homes seminar
last Saturday and laid plans to fightback against the Government's plans to
finish off social housing.
