party of reaction and privileg Socialist Action 20 May 1983 In these two articles JOHN ROSS shows in WHO'S TO BLAME that the economic stagnation and crisis of the British economy is completely attributable to the Tories not lefties, the unions, womens liberationists, black people and all the other 'subversives' Mrs Thatcher likes to blame.

In the article THE ENEMY he makes it very clear that the Tory Party is dominated by financial power and privilege and that beneath a Tory's hard exterior lies a financial calculating machine.

Who's to blame?

THATCHER SAID IN 1979 that her goal was to regenerate the British economy and arrest Britain's decline. Seeing that the Tories had been in office three times longer than any other party in the last 100 years it was only right they should get us out of the mess they had created.

The biggest and most decisive had Maniasy already been done when the Tories dominated politics and government in this country From 1886 to 1945 the Conservatives got the biggest vote in ll out of 12 general elections. 1918 to 1939 a time of crisis and recession • they held office for 18 of these 21 years. Prior to the electhe Government in 1964 the Tories had held office for 60 out of the previous 78 years.

Perhaps the dozen or so then existing Marxists caused that problem The crisis of the British accelerated lllci-wal ycals when Tories were in office almost Labour's leadership for 13 of those years was headed no makes Callaghan and Ramsay MacDonald Healey look like red subversives Clearly can't put that crisis down to the Conservatives. They just happened to be in otfice at the time.
