Labour
Party suspended in Brighton
....listen to Marigold talking about this episode
Yes I think that's when it was suspended (1982 late/early 1983) and it was all to do with this business. There was a chap who was going to be ..'prescribed?' ..is that the word, terrible word but I think that's what they call it in the Labour Party, anyway something was going to happen to him - nasty! I didn't necessariy agree with his views, but I didn't agree with what they going to do to him so I supported him. All I did, was say I don't think this should happen.
Then
some time later, I had an arguement with someone over the telephone,
ages later and he said well you were in a bit of trouble weren't you? and
I realised he was referring to the fact that I'd supported this chap. Yes,
it was a paranoid climate, they didn't like it. And that made me very cross,
because I wasn't....During the suspension you couldn't have meetings though
some people did - I'm not sure......I can't remember what happened when it
was reformed, I think you could just go back, as far as I knew, and that's
what I did. |
