Dictate-A-Letter: 071-287 2103 Kinnock lacks principles Dear Sir, There's one principle I thought Kinnock would njvjr discard - Clause 4(4) of the Labour Party Constitution but no, even this founding principle of the Labour party is in danger.

Dictate-A-Letter: 071-287 2103 Freedom to choose... Dear Sir, As I understand it, Jackie Mann, D Stephens (27/9) and the rest of their gjnjtation fought for two reasons: Firstly, for survival. The Battle of Britain was fought to prevent invasion. Secondly, for freedom. Freedom to live the way we choose and not the way other people think we should.

There akin't enough rich people to soak. Its excuse for not being able to do these things will bj that the Tories left the country in a bigger miss than Labour had thought.
