Nor is it the police activities at Wapping, now being used more clearly than ever for strike breaking purposes. There is no pretence in this dispute No, what is at stake in this dispute is an attempe at de-unionisation aim of Murdoch from the day he planned the ambush on the print unions.

That is why the governnent are lining up firml! ehind the Murdoch plan why there is the high fences with spikes pointing out, the razor wire, the surveillance cameras, and why they are all reinforced by the state That is why there are police in droves defending the plant, escorting the lorries in and out of the comple why there are roads cut off from the public under 19th century law, and why residents need passes to get into their own homes.

If Murdoch succeeds the government would have gained its big. gest prize, the breaking of the mighty print unions. Make no mistake, this is the issue.
