Miss Sara Barker is being pressed by all four victims of the NEC's purge in Nottingham to explain upon what grounds action has been taken against them. No reasons at all have been offered by Miss Barker, who simply sent out notes to all those who have been 'disciplined', announcing their sentences. "Let the Jury consider their verdict', the King said for about the twentieth time that day. 'No, no', said the Queen. ‘Sentence first, verdict afterwards.' ‘Stuff and nonsense', said Alice loudly - 'the idea of having the sentence first'. ‘Hold your tmgue', said the Queen, turning purple, 'I won't ', said Alice, ‘Off with her head $' shouted the Queen at the top of her voice. eveeseeee Nobody moved."
On second thoughts our heading is wrong, It is the four who have been expelled who stand in Alice's shoes, and Sara who adopts the role of the Red Queen. Hither way it is extremely doubtful that the Labour Movement will allow a farce like the so-called Nottingham Tribunal to pass unchallenged,
