Quote

We conceive the function of Tribune to be the expression in popular form, and to as large a public as possible, of the views of the Left and Marxist wing of social democracy in this country. Its policy must be that of those who believe that the present leadership of the Labour Party is not sufficiently Socialist.

A high proportion of the population enjoys many of the 'luxuries' which until recently were considered the prerogative of the rich and the ordinary worker lives at what even two decades ago would have been considered in Britain a middle-class standard of life.

What one generation sees as a luxury, the next sees as a necessity.

As a democratic Socialist profoundly committed to the rule of law, I could not condone, let alone encourage, defiance of the law.
