| | Socialism Today - Galloway's credo |
 | | Galloway cites the Liverpool city councillors who, from 1983-87, mobilised thousands in a major battle with the Thatcher government for more resources for the city, and accuses them of being "ultra-left", pursuing "gesture politics", and "not averse to kamikaze acts, such as refusing to set a municipal rate, or otherwise breaking the law". |
 | | Galloway then refers to the "Militant group of Trotskyist entrists working parasitically within the Labour Party", and mocks "the starry-eyed, far-out, far-left fantasies of the fanatics" (pp135-137). |
 | | It was the Militant (forerunner of Socialist Party) which led the magnificent Liverpool city council battle against Thatcher, which resulted in real gains for Liverpool’s workers. |
