from Brian Sinister I was absolutely staggered to read in the lafest issue of Iris News, the journal of the so-called Industrial Research and Information Services Ltd., a defence of the seaments strike, What is more this editorial was followed by another criticising the payroll tax, Of course, this red-baiting outfit always has to have a posture of support for trade unionism but I think this is more than that. It is an illustration that the Government's policies are so right wing that this organisation - dedicated as it is to countering communist and left-wing influence in the trade union movement, sometimes in the most flagrant way = has to criticise or lose all claim to be protrade union. Mr. Wilson finds himself not only to the right of Woodrow Wyatt but even to the right of I.R.I.S.!!
