the lad who got caught with his fingers in the ballot box at the Labour Party conference to take over from himas the National Union of Railwaymen.
What is more, Sid does not intend Io let silv irrelevancies like union rules get in nis wav. so in late December he sent a circular to NUR branches which was not intended to do Jimmy Knapp, nock's main opponent, a lot of good NUR presiden Tommy Ham had asked Weighell not to send out such a circular, saying it could be interpreted as a plea to vote for Turnock not Kapp. Then after Ham hac • gone to Derbyshire for Xmas, Sid sent off his circular. being too confident of the postal system, Sid used private contractors which against NUR rules. Perhaps he thought STERC NUR members were so overworked handling the Xmas mail, he would give them a break.
Ham was a bit upset by all this saying: .. the rules say any circular will be issued officially from the But Ham Henance doe rutes appeciate that the rules count when it comes to a fight to save union against communism.
Sid knows tuh we what a danger to the unior and the GaBOUI Party Knapp is. Sid told a press conterence that Кпарр was 'a disaster for the union' and that he •WaSC member of the far left supported by the Militant and the Communist Party YOU MUST remember Sid Weighell - he was now he wants his candidate, Charlie Turnock general secretary of who if elected could tilt the balance against Labour at the next election.
proof of Knapp's -AS electoral liability he cited Knapp's support for how walslee and how he was against the expulsion of Militant from LIC LADOHE DaLY As the majority the Labour Party and the trade unior are in favour of unilateralism and getting out of the EEC it is clear that these two organisations are being run by subversives and supporters of godless communism.
As for people being expulsion of Militant there is no doubt that a massive majority of individual Labour Party members belong in the Knapp camp. If this great majority are allowed their way we will not have any nuclear weapons, we shal be out nice capitalist Market and we won't allowed a witch-hunt in To save us from sucl horrors Sid manfully tried to fiddle the ballot at the Labour Conferenc and WO D CUaCSO BrCaKB own union rules.
