Imagine a game of football where the manager of one team made up the
rules to benefit his own side, where the goalposts were moved and where the
referee was on his side. The outcome of such a match would, of course be known
in advance by the winning side, who would then run around the stadium in a state
of ecstasy, yelling “Victory!” That is precisely what happened with the now
infamous Hutton report. |

The Hutton inquiry produced few surprises. Naturally Tony Blair and Alastair
Campbell were exonerated. This inquiry was no different to any of its
predecessors, since no such inquiry ever found a government to be guilty. It was
a whitewash.

Teflon Tony, otherwise known as the 'Houdini of British politics' has
narrowly escaped a major political defeat yet again. It is however fair to say
that his protective layer of teflon may be wearing off, as the Labour majority
in parliament was reduced to just 5, down from the on-paper majority of 161.
Thebill on tuition top-up fees passed its second reading by a vote of 316 to 311,
and the Labour Party's parliamentary group is looking seriously beleaguered
after an intense few days of political haggling and backroom swindles. |

On Saturday 24 January, the British TV channel, Channel Four, broadcast a
documentary about the miners’ strike. Anyone who tuned in looking for an
objective account of the strike was doomed to be disappointed. The purpose of
this documentary was not to clarify what happened but to blacken the memory of
the striking miners and mislead the present generation by a combination of lies,
falsifications and trivialisation. Against all the lies, distortion and venom,
the Marxists will defend the memory of this epic struggle and pass on the great
lessons to the new generation that is destined to carry on the fight to a
victorious conclusion. |
