POWELL

The minority of backward workers who march behind the National Front shouting 'Enoch, Enoch!'-especially those in the Transport and General Workers' Union - should wake up to the real truth about this man.

Fcr Enoch Powell, Tory MP for Wolverhampton southwest, is not only hostile to immigrants - he hates the unions und the welfare services.

As long ago as February 1969, Powell pledged that a Tory government would legislate to prevent unions enforcing a closed shop.

About this time a group Powellite Tory councillors in Lambeth joined blacklegs in clearing dustbins during council workers' strike.

And even earlier—in 1968— Powell was railing about union 'tyranny' when a carpenter was sacked from the Esso refinery in Fawley, after being expelled from the Amalgamated Society of WoodIn . December 1969, he launched a vicious attack on striking teachers who he denounced as 'bullies and toughs'.

Speaking at the annual dinner of the Holborn and St Pancras South Conservative Association, he declared:

"The teaching profession has dealt a shattering blow for lawlessness and anarchy... here we have the dishonourable method of the bully and the tough who break the rules deliberately and rely on force and numbers to get away with it.' It was, he said, 'an example of lawlessness, 1ll taith and indifference to duty' This was followed a few weeks later—in February 1970 -by a denunciation of the Equal Pay Bill which was having its second reading. This, he claimed, marked 'a black day in the Commons' It was about this time that group of Birmingham businessmen pledged £92,000 to finance a Powell for Premier' campaign.

Those misguided dockers who joined in pro-Powell marches against immigration might reflect on the fact that the leader of these businessmen was Marcel Everton— who owns a container hire company.

In August 1970, Enoch Powell declared himself dissatisfied with the Tory increases in Health Service charges. He wanted the services axed.

Writing in the "Sunday Express' on August 11, he proclaimed:

'Only if the charges result in the corresponding public service itself being reduced, has state expenditure been cut.

"This might perhaps happen as a result of the full price for school meals; but probably the only true cuts in the whole of health and education are the abolition of school milk and welfare milk.

In the same way, it is only if lower housing subsidies in fact result in councils building fewer houses that the state sector will have contracted; otherwise housing will remain half-nationalized as at present.' In the 'Sunday Express' of January 3, 1971, he openly called for bankruptcies and sackings: 'If the shock of ceasing to inflate causes bankruptcies and unemployment, that is how it has to be' Powell's real policy for working class was spelled out PAPERBACKS CENTRE CHARLOTTE ST pension as something which gradually disappears—certainly as a prime instrument of maintenance of the elderly... the flat-rate benefit is obsolete. It's clumsy and it's wasteful. It's repressive of real saving.' In the same article, he advocates an end to council house-building and to housing subsidies:

'I see no argument for either subsidized housing or building houses on public account.' And he wants denationalization of the mines and be the and railways — at a price to named by the buyers:

'At the right price there's a big future for a limited coal industry... and the railways ditto... What they are worth now is simply what a purchaser thinks their profits would be worth?

On top of all this, Powell wants the full restoration of the grammar schools, new selective systems in educa tion and private enterprise universities.

(1) Sever or control absolutely all communications, direct or indirect, between Northern Ireland and the Republic.

(2) Re-occupy and thereafter police the area occupied by the 'enemy' (i.e. the Catholic areas.

(3) Restore the police in Northern Ireland in morale, authority and armament, and in much more than their former inadequate numbers.

(4) Require all who reside travel in Northern Ireland carry at all times means identification.

(5) All citizens of the Irish Republic to be classified as aliens.

It was this police state policy which enabled Powell to share a platform with the Ulster right wing Vanguard leader William Craig — who later organized a joint demonstration with the National Front.

Its current newsletter 'Monday News' says:

'One man remains outside the government who might give it the required addition of strength. Some of his economic ideas are not helpful, but thanktully, these have paled besides the significance of his role as the greatest surviving "national" Conservative.

'Mr Powell, almost alone, understands the great mysteries of what a nation feels and wants. If the government of "liberal" Conservatives is to survive beyond the next election, some accommodation must be reached with Mr Powell and what he stands for.'
