MONDAY
NEC
ELECTION SHOCK HORROR
Rumours are already widely
circulating about the NEC results, and the Broad Lefts ragged assemblage
of hacks last night were downcast as they heard the news that the Campaign
for Real Union Democracy (CRUD) has secured a massive majority for the
Daydreams group, who lay dubious claims to the name Moderates
presumably compared to General Pinochet). NEC bore Steve Corbishley
was doing the rounds (but not buying any) with apocalyptic predictions
of a 22-6 majority to the Right.
Frank Taylor (well known chauvinist porker) is maintaining that the
result will be much closer: 16 - 10 to the Right, and the whole thing
could shift on departmental reservations. Taylor of course has a large
sum invested in ensuring that this will be the result. The usual fiver
will ensure that no further revelations are made on this subject.
Cackling Kate Lozenge has of course won the Presidency, leaving Nero
Lever and toothless wonder Clotman well behind. Even further behind
were no-hopers Neil Healy from SWP and the washed-up Welshman Williams,
both last seen drowning their sorrows at a sleazy bar not far from Conference,
commiserating with each other on their accumulation of only a few hundred
votes.
At the Daylies banquets on Friday and Saturday there was clearly a mood
of victory in the air, as reported by our PFLCPSA moles, and even the
normally miserable Robin Unworthy was seen to leer slightly, while distant
applause was heard from Sean O'Brien, who was comfortably ensconced
under the table.
The implication of a Daylies victory has not been lost on the Broad
Left drones, who now see themselves following SWP martyr sacked Phil
Cordell in an orderly queue for their dole money. Reactionary forces
(no names mentioned) within the Left are already calling for a purge
of ultra-left CRUD supporters, who they see as responsible
for their downfall. This can only strengthen the morale of the Daylies
leaders. Taylor has now opened a book with 2-1 odds on that the CPSA
will have the dreaded postal balloting system by this time next year.
PFLCPSA
For new delegates to Conference (our commiserations) who don't know
about the PFLCPSA, there are a number of informative items available.
A revised edition of the complete history of the PFLPSA and manifesto
of the PFLCPSA available at 20p. Those who wish to join should ask for
the free recruiting leaflet and send the tear off slip to
the address given: -
Often described as the faction to beat all factions", the
aims of the PFLCPSA are briefly:
Replacement pf the NEC with Revolutionary Command Council.
Full support for the Islamic Left.
For the abolition of all forms of voting and its replacement by the
Popular Will of the Masses.
Annual Conference to be held in Beirut
End the stranglehold of the Catholic -Action Group.

CREEP OF THE DAY AWARD
Various nonentities at Conference have been approaching those they believe
to be associated with the PFLCPSA and asking they have not, had the
glory and notoriety of being mentioned in any past PFLCPSA Communiqués
- So, especially for these small people, Forward-Battle Group Eagle
will be issuing a Creep of the Day award.
Today's third prize is a tie between Sean O'Brien, that well known model
of sobriety who is Section Secretary of MAFF, (He is so able and capable
that MAFF Section Conference has been abandoned and will have to be
reconvened in a months time), and John Ellis, simpering houseboy bf
the Daylies Group whose stout defence of his bulging wallet must surely
earn him a place in the Guinness. (sic)
Runner up is DE hackette Sally Bild, hard-line SWPer who would like
apparently to be known as Sally Build-the-Rank-and-File (Geddit?) but
is unfortunately more usually known to friends and enemies alike as
Sally Bilge. It is she by the way who is doing most of the printing
of the Redder Tape daily rag at their HQ in 36 Bath Street.
Today's Creep of the Day Prize however goes definitely to Peter Sloman,
delegate from Medical Research Council, also in SWP. Sloman, a middle
aged alcoholic divorce is understood to suffer from an addiction to
certain substances not unknown to the Metropolitan Police Drug Squad.PS.
Today's Mystery Competition:
Which well-known Daylies NEC Candidate from South London was recently
demoted from CO to CA for total incompetence? Answer tomorrow, if bribes
are not forthcoming.
TUESDAY
TERRY
ADAMS TO BE SACKED
Now you all
know the election results: this Communiqué considers the follow-up.
The new NEC line-up is 24 to the Daylies Group, 2 non-aligned and 2
soggy Left. The Daylies group and their allies in the Vatican are understood
to be, surprisingly at first sight, depressed by these results as they
have removed from The NEC many pf those Daylight stooges and allies
masquerading under the Narrow Left cloak. The massive majority of the
Daylies zombies has stripped all pretence of healthy debate within the
NEC,
Disquiet was certainly felt amongst the cheering Falangists at the Royal
Clifton Winter Palace last night. This accounts for the
shock that one of the newly elected Vice Presidents received when the
news of his victory was leaked to him.
The pitiful showing of the Left at the polls reflects their consistent
failure to support the aims of the Popular Front for the Liberation
of the CPSA. Several leading left hacks were clearly seen to rush from
the top table when the results were announced, no doubt to be as sick
as dogs at the thought of having to do some actual work, and possibly
even to attempt to put on a left face, to their Regional
Broad Left Groups. It must be easier to get a camel through the eye
of a needle than for the likes of Spook Wood and Pork Taylor to pretend
to be left-wingers as reported in yesterdays Communiqué.
Indeed, Pork Taylor was yesterday heard to be calling for a streamlining
(i.e. purging) of the Left. It is understood that the one hard
left NEC victor, Ray Alderson, owes his election victory to massive
pressure from the powerful Licensed Victuallers Association lobby.
How the members will take to the cluster of windbags Bernard Levin and
our friends at Langley, Virginia is unclear, but there mast be many
worried faces around Balham Palace as the full-timers wonder who will
be dismissed in the widely expected purge. Most likely for the chop
are Terry Adams, Chuck Clarke and John Macreadie. It is also understood
that the victorious Right will also chop Bush, widely hated throughout
the union, though informed sources report that these well watered persons
may not actually be sacked but put out to grass in a harmless
research post or two.
Following the rights victory, the election of full timers is now likely
to go down the swannee, and leading contenders for the soon-to-be-vacant
General Secretary position are jockeying for position: John Ellis and
Alistair Graham are already beginning to spread hate stories about each
other.
CREEP OF
THE DAY AWARD:
Dave Spagnol, DHSS Hackney & Tower Hamlets, who has already (Joint
Award) sold 27,000 copies of Militant. Robert Claridge, DE Runcorn,
member of the Revolutionary Communist Group and well-known remedy for
insomnia.
NB: THERE IS NO TRUTH IN THE MALICIOUS RUMOUR BEING SPREAD BY THE DIGGER
FACTION THAT THE NATIONAL BROAD LEFT GROUP IS TO BE DISBANDED. POSSIBLY.
WEDNESDAY
FULL-TIMERS
On this the
first day of Main Conference, the factions are poised for a bloodbath
of almighty proportions on the Election of Full Time Officials debate.
Rumours have been circulating from certain malicious sources that President
Lozenge will in fact suspend Conference in order to avoid a decision
supporting the election. Another possibility is that the APEX CPSA HQ
Branch might have a last minute change of heart and support the election
of full timers - though for what nefarious purpose none can tell, unless
they have had a cast iron guarantee from the new NEC that nothing will
be done. What is more likely is that we will see Alex Ritchie, Branch
Secretary of CPSA HQ APEX (remember them - they sold out the Grunwick
strikers) stoutly defending his vast salary by ranting, raving and foaming
at the mouth. Delegates will no doubt give the customary and traditional
response reserved especially for such senile old windbags.
CREEP OF
THE DAY AWARD
Today's Creep of the Day Award unanimously goes to Andy Brooks of Social
Science Research Council. He's the one with the safari outfit and beret
who struts about like President Nasser.
GROVELLING APOLOGY
The PFLCPSA Solicitors inform us that as Ray Alderson has now paid a
large bribe to us to apologise to us for calling him a drunkard in yesterday's
Communiqué, and we accept his apology.
NEWS IN BRIEF
SCHOOL FOR NEW NEC MEMBERS
It is rumoured that pretentious National Organiser Barry Reamsbottom
has had to organise a Special School for the newly elected Daylies nobodies
on the NEC so that they can be helped to understand exactly which union
they have won control of.
THE LONG KNIVES OF ELLIOTT
Lovable NEC member Charles Elliott is reportedly not too happy at the
prospect of having to sit with some of his new-found NEC colleagues.
It is rumoured that he is determined to see them ousted, and one report
states that his Death List is longer that Colonel Gaddaffi's.
FRINGE MEETINGS
The usual round of Conference fringe meetings are going well. At the
SWP Redder Tape meeting Kevin Roddy called the SWP's demigod Tony Cliff
(guest speaker) a middle-class intellectual bastard, while
the ultra- left Socialist Caucus have failed to organise a meeting at
all. In contrast to this was the Militant meeting last night which attracted
200 and made a collection of £1,600 pounds!NATIONAL AFFRONT
The National Front delegate to Conference is PAUL BASSANT from C+E London
Port. He is sitting on the right of the hall 3 rows from the front four
or five in. He has cropped dark brown hair and wears a black shirt.

THURSDAY
HOLAH IN VICE SCANDAL
Following George
Holah's recent encounter with chemical 108, as a result of which he
was assisted from the Bold Hotel, having O.D'd on Sunday, more information
has been passed to Popular Front activists which reveals that in a fit
of generosity the Daylies cads parted with some of their customary stash
to the Sefton pigs, as a trade off for George's safe return. Local entrepreneur
Det. Supt. Nacker then put the whole lot back on the market last night.
This coincided, unfortunately, with a raid on the Scarisbrick, mounted
by 2 Popular Front activists. Finding themselves hopelessly outnumbered
in a narrow alley the comrades surrendered, having first of all smashed
the glass vials containing a secret formula serum.
As part of an orchestrated campaign to discredit PFLCPSA agents, these
cadres were searched for fragments of broken glass which had inadvertently
lodged in their stomach lining as they tried to dispose of the evidence.
(Anyone understanding this in-story please apply to PFLCPSA Black Guard
for £5 reward)
NEWSROUND
TO THE PRESS PIT
Pressmen in the Snakepit have been congratulating the PFLCPSA
on their sterling work in exposing all Conference scandal: we appear
to have been named the Private Eye of CPSA. While this is
flattering, we should humbly point out that all our information comes
from sozzled old fool-timer Sean O'Brien from MAFF Section, leader of
the CPSA Branch of the Knights of St Columba. Thanks for all the gutter
news Sean - your usual crate of whisky will be delivered on Sunday.
PS The crate of whisky will be diverted to any person who can find Sean
in a state of sobriety.
POINT OF ORDER
Congratulations to Stewart MacLennan, the Caledonian Drone and now apparently
supposed to be the greatest orator since Cicero, for raising 896 points
of order so far, this beats his 1979 record of 722 points of order.
CONGRATULATIONS
Comradely greetings to 9th Chapter and also to PFLCPSA Black Guard,
led by NFer Kate Byrne.
MANY CONFERENCE DELEGATES HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR FURTHER DETAIlS OF THE
PFLCPSA AND ITS ACTIVITY. IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE FILL IN

FRIDAY
POOR OLD KATE
President Lozenge,
we understand, is so tired and emotional at Conference's continual challenging
of her bungling behaviour that she has declared her intention to issue
a circular to all members immediately after Conference denouncing the
disgraceful attitude of the assorted pinkoes and trots who dared to raise
the banner of revolution at conference by actually putting points of order
etc. Where will it all end?
LABOUR LEFTOVERS
A select group of bores attended a small "Labour Left meeting
on Wednesday to denounce the extremist domination of the Broad
Left, and to agree a short slate of jolly decent candidates to put up
in their place. The meeting, only ten strong, was organised by such yesterday's
men as George Lobo and Dredge Williams. Certain Tribunite luminaries,
like standing Orders hack Roy Lewis are believed to he miffed at not receiving
an invite.
FACTION FIGHTING - THE KNIVES ARE OUT
Another Broad Left failure, Spook Wood, is understood to ~e battling desperat4y
to get himself onto the NEC in order to retain the cushy life style to
which he has become accustomed. Second runner-up in the NEC elections,
Wood has been urging the two Lefties who beat him at the polls, Alderson
and Barker, to stand down so that he can take his seat on the NEC. Other
Broad Left fading hacks are understood to, be attempting similar maneuvers.
FURTHER PURGES IN THE LEFT
Communist Party members in the Left are reported to be worried by leaks
from a private Militant meeting that the CP are included in Mendicant`s
intentions to purge `ultra-left' elements from the Left. Most concerned
of all is fading starlet Margaret Witham, leader of the CP's miniscule
London Soviet, who sees her dreams of vast power fading for ever in the
forthcoming faction Gotterdammerung.
NEC IN EXILE
We trust that the rumours are untrue that the former ragbag NEC Broad
Lefters are to form an NEC in exile. It could be for real however: the
remarkable camaraderie of the boring toadies on the last NEC and their
unanimous disregard for the ordinary member may prove to be thicker than
water.
SELF CONGRATULATION
As this is the final PFLCPSA Communiqué at Conference 1980, we
devote a few lines to self-praise. Without doubt the PFLCPSA daily communiqués
have been the most popular and successful of all the daily rags. Redder
Tape, the SWP sheet, has been drab and pompous. Daylight, the right wing
trash, has been poorly produced and feeble, due, we understand, to internal
rivalry and disagreements on the Editorial Board. The Civil Service Workers
Group (i.e. anarchist loonies) Bulletins have been ranting and ridiculous.
As usual the Broad Left have produced nothing at all.
So this is thanks to: all PFLCPSA operatives at Conference, in Service,
Support and Security Platoons, for your excellent work. Thanks to the
PFLCPSA Black Guard for their guerilla work and their lurid stories on
the physical attributes of some of the more well known members of our
union, and whose manuscript reports make hair-raising reading (available
on request). Thanks also to the slog work on the duplicator and typewriter
done by PFLCPSA Red Guard. Thanks to the CPSA 9th Chapter who have formally
affiliated.
And of course, thanks to everyone who has been vilified in these columns:
we would just like to assure you that we meant every word of it.
Will all PFLCPSA Operatives and supporters please meet immediately after
the end of Conference to be photographed for the records etc outside the
amusement arcade on the right hand side of the main Conference Hall exits.
NB Berets and badges to be worn for the above event.

Norris (Land Registry), Mike Healy (Peter Pan), David Levy (DE), Everyone

The much coveted CREEP OF THE WEEK AWARD was only narrowly missed
by feeble non- entity Frank Humphries from the top table, but the new

and fierce anti-Bolshevik from DTl Section.
