ANOTHER TORY RIP-OFF: IRAQGATE UPDATE - p2 • Norman Lamont's financial affairs are never out of the headlines, with questions asked over unpaid hotel bills, his overdue Access bill, and his use of tax-payers' money to help pay his legal bills. This is the man in charge of Britain's economy! • But in the Tory corruption stakes, his antics are small beer indeed. Mark Thatcher picked up millions for arms deals while his mum was Prime Minister. • And whatever their shady deals, directorships and back-handers, the biggest Tory rip-offs are those they carry through as a government, using the force of law to rob working people, the unemployed, pensioners and children. • Lamont's Autumn Statement announced a 1.5 percent pay limit that will rob every public sector worker; his cabinet colleagues are busily ripping off social security claimants and council tenants, while Michael Heseltine wants taxpayers and electricity consumers to foot the bill for his pit closure plans. • The whole government is ripping off working people for the benefit of the rich. Lamont must goand with him the whole wretched Tory cabinet. • It's high time the TUC and Labour leaders stopped acting as Major's flexible friends and took up the fight to force them out of office. That would do nicely!
