Extraordinary isn’t it, that the hard right, with its pundit and think tank cheerleaders, persuaded enough of the nation that this chaotic, self-serving, bungling and negligent Conservative government would be infinitely preferable to a bit of Scandi style social democracy

Snippet of a letter from Paul Foot

This was when you were winning. What is going to happen when you are losing?

I don’t know whether or not the industrial downturn will go on through 1982. But I do know that there will be struggle, whatever the pitch of it. There will be strikes and occupations and sit-ins and demonstrations. Where will you be with all your grand ideas for changing society? Are you really going to spend your time locked in Labour Party meetings, digging in for long resolutionary trench warfare, waiting to go over the top at the Winter Gardens in October?

Surely the least I can do is beckon you out of these futile feuds and into the struggle where it is really being fought.
