ELECTION *ANNOUNCED * ILLU 1982 1983 AS THE People's March for Jobs heads towards London, and the big rally on June 5, the organisers still persist in their pretence that the unemployment issue is 'non-political'. Almost all the support the march has received has been from trade unions and Labour Parties, but the organisers - largely. Communist Party members - seem terrified by the prospect of being identified with the labour movement.
Whilst bishops and SDPers are welcomed with open arms, Labour Party members and trade unionists who have come out to greet the march have been harassed and abused by the 'marshals' who run the march.
As the march entered Birmingham, they called in the police to hold back local Labour Party members and forced them to remove their banners. In Coventry they used a Church Army band to separate off hundreds of supporters chanting anti-Tory slogans from the main march:
Meanwhile, three of the marchers thrown off for chanting 'Maggie Out' and 'Occupy, Organise, Kick the Tories Out' have continued to follow the march despite being denied food and accommodation by the organisers.
The organisers have attempted to dismiss the expelled marchers as fringe elements and sectarians, but they know that in reality the expellees represent the real feelings of most non-aligned rank and file marchers. And the expellees' credentials speak for themselves.
