Switch hunt I want to tell you how very angry and distressed the treatment of the workers at Cowley.

I think the exposé, by the alleged former member of the International Socialists, of the 'infiltration' techniques of Marxists was particularly revolting and made me seriously reconsider my position on capital punishment.
