(cont'd from previous page) After Spending a weekend listening to the steamroller tactics of the i.C.L. leadership to create "Left Unity", I wouldn't recommend that anyone take it too seriously. At present it is the biggest hoax in British politics." The report finishes up by making a very pertinent remark about the Communist Party which has long been know by the Party's opponents from the Left and is becoming increasingly better understood by the ruling classes everywhere........"the Y.C.L. congress rather than proving their strength, showed their weakness. After three days closely observing the Y.C.L. I can recommend to LBJ that his C.I.A. is almost redundant, the Communists couldn't have taken over Skegness, even less have led a revolution."
