For a record 3rd successive year, the MODR8s have swept the board in the elections and for the third successive year they are making Macho private threats about finally disposing of the BL hacks in FALCONCREST. We expect their bottle to give out - as usual - shortly after leaving conference. Frankly, though, FRANK BONNER ought to start scanning the ‘Sits Vacant’ columns, as there is a growing all-party consensus that this is exactly how he spends most of his time.

Meanwhile, early celebrations kept Bournemouth up all night. There was gloom and despondency in the disarrayed REDS camp. The first returns suggest that the MODs have retained their majority, keeping all three Presidential posts, though with a slight RED swing increasing MENDICANT’s share from 1 to 3, with EL’84 at 5; though 3 seats are held by the MODR8 backed CHARLATAN group.

Behind the scenes, however, the struggle for the General Secretaryship intensifies. BRUNO ELLIS would normally retire at 55 on a full Pension. But the bluff Tyke cannot face the prospect of a quiet retirement in the Dales and is musing about letting his name go forward when his term of office expires. This is being bitterly opposed by RAMSBLADDER, the self-appointed heir-apparent, who can’t wait to get his hands on BRUNO’s inflated salary and expense account. BARRY’s elevation is a prospect regarded with sheeplike resignation by the remaining Full Timers, none of whom either have the guts to stand against him or a good word to say about him.

But while all this is going on, the burning question for the rest of us is where to site future CPSA Conferences. First of all, following the practice of the last 10 years, the venue must begin with a ‘B’. The proposal to return to Butlins is unlikely to be heard. The PFLCPSA’s long standing demand, therefore, to move Conference to Beirut is merely a logical and somewhat overdue extension to this tradition.

GRANTS HILL DSS were on strike last Friday in support of their campaign to refuse to co-operate with Poll Tax. Why weren’t we told?

Did anyone follow the mess surrounding the passage of motion 85? The MOD5 advised opposition to motion 80 whilst BL’84 recommended support for it in preference to 85. Neither seems to have noticed that 80 fell on the adoption of standing orders so couldn’t be heard. Then just to ensure balance in the chaos, ex BORED LEFT activist DENNISON, somewhat prematurely anticipating his demise, failed to turn up to second 85 and MORON had to rush in to fill the breech.

LES JONES’ wife left Conference to return to the real world yesterday, leaving him with no one to balance the tidal motions on his waterbed. No reasonable offers refused.
Speaking of the LCD, junior cadres therein publish a pithy monthly known as ‘The Alternative Officer’. This month’s issue reprints the (London) Evening Standard’s full-page expose of why ELLIS lives in Caterham - as though anyone gave a monkey’s. The reason why the Standard picked ELLIS is because they couldn’t find anyone else of any ‘prominence’ living in Caterham — which is, of course, the real reason he lives there.

Tuesday Afternoon:
Motion 287: Listen carefully -
Susan ‘Arrison might be speaking
Motion 310: Oppose.
There is no such word in English as ‘Discontinuance'

RED
STEVE BATTLEMUCH - of SOCIAL CARCASE fame - during the debate on EM1 stated that he “came from a branch which voted 9:1 to reject the pay offer”. Those of you who were awake at the time may remember the Point of Order which asked the very reasonable question “How does he know? It was supposed to be a secret ballot.” Can we expect the launch of a ‘Defend the South Notts One’ campaign in 6 months time?

GREEN
The Green Revolution is here too. After years of tedious intros along the lines of ‘Larry O’Callaghan - Home Office HQ and member of the Socialist Workers Party’; we have finally caught the new mood with at least one DTI delegate who declared himself ‘JOHN LITTLER, DTI HQ AND MEMBER OF FRIENDS OF THE EARTH’. Doesn’t have quite the same ring does it?

ROUND AND ABOUT
by Judas Iscariot

Organisation department have cocked up yet another election. Delegates to the new National Assembly were staggered to learn that the election results could not be disclosed. This is, of course, nothing new to the Southern softies, but for the Caledonian hordes - late of the Northern Assembly - the appalling ineptitude of ‘SKIPPY’ STANSFIELD came as an unwelcome revelation. The explanation, like la Stansfield herself, is relatively simple. Blissfully unaware of the development of the National Assembly, when she received ballot papers etc for distribution to the ‘NA’ she naturally sent them only to the old Northern Assembly branches thus disenfranchising 6,000 members in the Southern Assembly at a stroke. Early returns show a landslide for the BORED LEFT.

COUNT KOWALSKI is clearly getting desperate. The lanky Pole accosted senior PFL agent CHRIS MORON at last night’s DSS do and tried to recruit him to the EX LEFT ‘84 payroll. This would have been a pretty dumb move in any circumstances. The fact that MORON has been a publicly paid up member of BORED LEFT all his adult life gives it an edge of acute stupidity. MORON politely declined his offer, made his excuses and left.
The HERMITAGE was packed on Sunday night for the CHARTIST rally as hundreds of delegates poured in on the promise of free booze. £460 had been raised by the CHARLATANS in order to bribe punters to support their victory beano, made possible by massive MODR8 support, and raised in the form of a £20 tithe on 23 of DUGGOUT’s henchmen. Unfortunately for one such, DAVE ALLEN, by the time he got to the bar, the thirsty horde had consumed the entire kitty so his drink cost him no less than £21.40.

Incidentally, readers may like to know that PFL heroine KATE LOSINSKA is staying at the WHITE HERITAGE (opposite the BIC) all week and will be meeting us all tomorrow when she collects her richly deserved Gold Badge. Her room can be clearly be seen from the SMUGGLER’s bar. It’s on the 3rd floor with the blue canopy.

ALAN GILHESPY’s dependence on strong spirit continues to play havoc with his health and general well-being. Most recently, he has been evicted from his residency at the NEWTON public house in Newcastle following his tendency to reach 120 decibels after the 14th pint and then collapse into coughing fits combined with symptoms of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. On Saturday, desperate to watch the cup final through the comforting distortion of the bottom of a glass, he toured Bournemouth searching for a pub with a telly in it. The taxi driver, spotting an obvious mark, took him on an expensive guided tour of the Islamic quarter in which no alcohol was remotely visible. Eventually the slob was dumped, together with stooges ROUSE & WATSON at an anonymous hostelry on the outskirts of nowhere. Any hope they had of enjoying the first half were destroyed by GILHESPY’s bellows in the direction of the barman which purported to complain at the absence of such facilities in Bournemouth and their relative abundance on and around the Tyne — a trifle unfair given that this was in fact one of the few such well endowed sites in the town. Messrs R and W, unable to bear the embarrassment of being associated with the gauche Geordie, crept away and left him to it. Unfortunately, the inebriated Biffa was then unable to find his way back ‘home’ having not yet memorised the name or address of his hotel. The irate barman eventually heaved the disoriented blob onto a bus. He completed 8 full circuits of Bournemouth before equally irate transport staff ejected him in the Town centre where he was eventually rescued by other delegates and led back to his colleagues.

Congratulations are pouring in to ARTHUR NEWELL following his re-­election as a Tory Councillor for Enfield. CPSA’s oldest living member, the 79-year-old fellow thespian has his position with the Met Police reviewed/renewed each year under the Fitness for Retention scheme. Naturally, his annual reports, helpfully written by RICHARD REGAN, fully justify the great man’s ongoing ‘employment’. KNOWALL, also one of EQUITY’s oldest members has starred as a Monster in ‘DR WHO’ and a Plank in the ‘ONEDIN LINE’. He continues to grace the stage whenever he gets a break from his life-long mission to rid the planet of anyone to the left of former Prime Minister EDWARD HEATH.

ROUND AND ABOUT
by Judas Iscariot

Blackpool was the scene of unprecedented rejoicing as news of the KNEECAPS MODR8 victory spread. Although the SECRET LEFT still hold the Presidency, they are now reduce to a total of 5 seats against the combined MOD vote of 27. The MODR8 triumph is also a personal victory for heroic FRANK PEMBERTON whose own PROGRESSIVE MODR8S took 9 seats and he himself captured the Vice Presidency. Running mate ALAN ENGLAND failed dismally in his attempt to snatch the Presidency and his ORTHODOX MODR8S with 8 seats in the new executive will clearly be playing second fiddle to FRANKO in future. ENGLAND, a keen proponent of the Merger, had been confident of victory. To the extent that he had even rung our own sainted MARION to inform her that once unity had been achieved, he would be the obvious candidate for the Presidency.

CHAS CLEWES, the leading member of Newcastle's puppet Government, has been given the key post of Steward by BRUNO, who believes in rewarding dumb obedience. Delighted at having at last achieved a position of responsibility, the eager Geordie stopped an elderly couple hovering by his door and asked to see their credentials. They promptly produced Bingo Cards and asked how much it was to get in.

Five upstanding members of NEWCASTLE DISTRICT DSS branch were evicted on Saturday night by their landlord at the SEAWAYS hotel when he took umbrage at the behaviour of two of the children who had obtained a supermarket trolley covered in balloons and were pushing a fellow Geordie home in it. As one does. Still smarting, however, from the invasion of those other northern Hooligans - the Leeds United fans - the landlord exploded in rage saying `I'm not having the likes of you in my hotel; this town has had enough of your kind lately and I want you out now.' And at 3.00 a.m. proceeded to evict the entire party including the innocent DORIS an inoffensive arthritic 54 year old who was not even part of the action. The police are investigating the whereabouts of the trolley and considering the option of pressing charges connected with obstructing the highway. Dipsomaniac STEVE RICHARDSON escaped the fate of his colleagues by sleeping through the entire incident despite the manic hammering on his door. Things wouldn't have been quite so bad had the landlord not already had their dosh having insisted on cash up front. Needless to say, the bastard has not so far returned the funds but luckily CHRIS KIRK has leapt in to the rescue by giving each of the five no less than £20 each to tide them through this nightmare. This, claims the General Treasurer, is all she has the authority to dispense.

DSS Inner London delegate MIKE DAVEY spent most of last week on the phone to FALCONCREST trying to track down his Conference Expenses. Eventually they quit bluffing that they had sent them to him and admitted that they actually sent the cheque to none other than CHRIS MORON who, fortunately, had not had the wit to cash it in.

A dirty old Tramp was spotted by BIC security staff hovering around one of the side entrances yesterday, but the contents of their dustbins were safe on this occasion as the vagrant turned out to be none other than PETER COLTMAN in town to collect his Gold Badge pay off for 29 years of Treachery.

The DSS Social ended in the usual brawl; thus maintaining its centuries old tradition of first blood at Conference. The beano itself was also faithful to its shoddy predecessors; the beer was crap, the comedian didn't turn up and the raffle was the high spot of the evening. However, DICKIE MUGGAN, emboldened by vast amounts of alcohol, enraged the motley TROTS by cracking a series of `jokes' referring to the NEWCASTLE 8 in such terms as “What is the difference between the Newcastle 8 and Roger Rabbit?” to which the hilarious answer was “Roger Rabbit was framed”. Naturally enough this provoked the TROTS into hurling abuse at the pugnacious prat who responded predictably with a stream of obscenities.

Later, as DUGGOUT lurched around the hall, one PAUL HICKLING, acting on behalf of BATTLEMUCH and the rest of the DSS South Notts branch, walked up to the tedious toad clutching a pint of beer which MICHAEL assumed was being offered for his consumption. Not so. The brave TROT announced that `this is from the membership at DSS South Notts' and calmly poured the contents the loathsome Londoner's head. HICKLING was quickly put to flight clutching his balls. The dripping dwarf then espied agent MORON and some chums cackling delightedly at his discomfort. He launched into his usual intellectually limited anti TROT invective unaware that one of MORON's guests had actually voted for him in this year's elections. HICKLING has not yet returned to the observers' gallery while his master BATTLEMUCH has since distanced himself from the heroic act by congratulating the oaf on his prowess and adding that his erstwhile stooge had `asked for it'.

Leading RED, TONY CHURCH made his point in the Agencies debate praising SWEDEN and its social democratic party as part of his incoherent tirade against the NEC. Clearly he is oblivious to the fact that his Swedish heroes expelled all their TROTS 20 years ago.
PHIL GREEN - BL Veep candidate - has been seen kerb-crawling round town in his gas guzzling bourgemobile, a brand new ideologically sound Daimler Jag. The Tithing is obviously working.

BROAD LAPELS `84 social was the lowlight of the evening. All the stuffed shirts attended in full dress uniform - five piece suits; colour coordinated underwear optional. The gathering was clearly musically influenced by a Benidorm experience judging from the dreadful cacophony emitted by the band `Pylo de Shito' who sang and played flamenco in the style of Morrissey - the first time dirges have been played at 78 RPM. Mogadon Man HANSON was not responsible for booking them. He apparently booked a live band. On the other hand, perhaps he was merely trying to be an equal opportunities employer. Rule 1 (no Trots) was rigidly applied. DRUGGAN arrived at the crack of last orders in the same state he left the previous evening's DSS do after having spent the vast bulk of the evening imbibing with his MODR8 chums where he is much more popular.

DOREEN PURVES (Newcastle weight) addressing the MALIGNANT rally warned the assembled horde that “There will be Riot Police and all our members should be disciplined.” Wot, not just the 8?

ERRATA
Apologies to ALAN GILHESPIE for implying that TONY ROUSE was anywhere near him during his grand tour of Bournemouth (see Communiqué 2) the other drunken bum was in fact IAN BROOKE.

We also note the unintended implication that LARRY is a member of the SOCIALIST WANKERS PARTY rather than MENDICANT and apologise unreservedly to the SWP for this slur.

Note from Barrabas December 2013: While re-creating the archive, I discovered a retained copy of this issue, which I remember for our long journey through the night. The graphic indicates that the alleged photocopying was actually knitting patterns. The names on the scroll are those of the Newcastle 8 but in mirror image. Here's a run through:

ROUND AND ABOUT
by Judas Iscariot

Apart from today the media have displayed their usual indifference to the dramatic events which have unfurled at Bournemouth over the past few days. RAMSBLADDER has of course ensured that their den, a seedy cellar in the BIC, is well stocked with strong spirit for the motley rabble which consists of some of BARRY'S drinking chums masquerading as Stewards together with the predictable THOMASON, and DUGGOUT. But the threat to withdraw credentials from the SOCIALIST WANKER reporter SUE CALDWELL and her opposite number FRANK SMITH (who has flown in specially from Nicaragua to tell EL'84's tartan delegates how to vote) failed to materialise. In SMITH's case this is because he will obviously out of a job by the end of the month. But the main reason is that ELLSIE sees journalism as a method of supplementing his meagre pension in two years time. His rubbishy article in the Evening Standard explaining why he lives in Caterham collected a juicy £250 - equivalent to a full day's work at FALCONCREST. However, BRUNO's latest attempt to make the headlines has not been so successful. Prior to conference, he tried to interest the papers in a new TROT scare story to the effect they were poised to return to power and only HE stood in their way. Disowned by the ambitious RAMSBOTTOM, only the worthless Standard and SCUM fell for it. (Mein Gott that paragraph's boring - thank fuck it's finished - Ed)

PAUL ALEXANDER from DSS Ashton-under-Lyme has been helping police with their inquiries following complaints that a flasher has been seen operating within the vicinity at the Conference Centre. But after appearing on a Dorset Police identity parade he was released. It appears there was insufficient to detain him. (Better -Ed)

LCD's latest bid for attention consists of a claim that if/when the Merger ballot goes down the pan, they will secede from CPSA and revert to their old name the County Court Officers Association or COCOA CLUB for short.

ROY LEWIS self-professed `84 kingmaker was overwhelmed by the dual MODR8 victory in Blackpool and Bournemouth. Flushed with free liquor supplied by RAMSBLADDER, Sir Woy was so pissed that he forgot to sign the SOC report which thus emerged as a `majority' report. Last seen by MARTIN JONES crawling through the park chatting up Rhododendron bushes.

More gloom on the RED Front as the MODR8 bandwagon sweeps on. The MENDICANT rally attracted only the faithful few and a tithe of only £3,000 was collected - the lowest for a decade. But so far none of the MALIGNANT TENDENCY have had the courage to reclaim their collection box (containing 50 pence) which was found in a gutter outside the hail. MARION invited a "sensible member of the Broad Left" to collect it. Naturally she is still waiting and has decided that unless someone comes forward to claim it, she will donate it to Cancer Research.

Comrade SMIFF, industrial correspondent of the SCUM is proudly displaying his class solidarity in the shape of the PFLCPSA “Poll Axe the Trots” T-Shirt which he purchased from our agent out of his expense account. The lecherous hack distinguished himself at the `84 Pavilion Social (reported in communiqué 3) on Tuesday night. Spotting the main chance offered by the fact that the fag machine was empty and tabs were changing hands at £1 a piece, he approached a PFL officer and offered to barter “fags for pussy”. Our loyal agent wisely withdrew tastefully claiming to have scrounged a night's supply already and that his offer was thus about as much use as Terry Waite's Poll Tax Form. The hack then slunk away and shortly afterwards disappeared. We can only assume that he must have had better luck elsewhere.

The Conference Arrangements Committee scored a major coup in allowing SOCIALIST WANKERS to operate their RED bookshop. Unaware that BOOKWISE was a TROT front they blithely agreed to the stall and a full day's trading took place till the CATHOLICS spotted it.

FRIDAY

ROUND AND ABOUT
by Judas Iscariot

While millions of GEORDIES packed the WINTERBOURNE hotel to celebrate the mercy of Allah and release of the Newcastle 8, sombre MODR8s and BL'84 activists were licking their wounds in secret lairs and plotting their next moves.

ELLIS is understood to be less than happy at the result which can only be interpreted as a humiliating rebuff for the forces of RIGHT. His chances of extending his services beyond the official retirement date in 1992 have now faded into insignificance despite his attempts to change the rules.

RAMSBLADDER, by contrast, has been unable to contain his glee at his superior's discomfiture, which he is convinced only confirms his conviction that he has been chosen by Allah to succeed the dour Yorkshireman.

Back in the BL'84 camp, hundreds had gathered for the inquest - the biggest gathering held by them all week. After a routine whinge from CONWAY about previous turnouts, the EX-LEFT then set about serious bloodletting. LEITCH surfaced from hiding to withdraw the resignation he had proffered in the heat of the moment and to condemn LEEDHAM whose treachery was seen to be a decisive factor in the vote. Only the previous night, party bosses, including DUGGOUT, CONWAY, LEITCH and LEEDHAM had agreed their liberal (non) line of 10 years suspension for the Geordie Gang. LEEDEM was chosen to present the case. In the cold light of morning, however, for reasons with which he has yet to burden his colleagues, he made his excuses and left LEECH to do the dirty work - giving the impression that he might perhaps propose a lesser penalty if the going got tough.

LEEDEM's stunning countermove in favour of the 8, together with a number of his DE comrades, left the INQUISITION breathless and reeling. DUGGIN, whose CHARLATAN group-has re-pledged its support for the CDMT, is baying for his blood. In Newcastle, the BL'84 collaborators are running for cover and the puppet regime is said to be on the point of collapse. OLIVER and his pals have already tendered their resignations and only MODR8 concern at losing their 4000 card vote prematurely persuaded them to sit out the remainder of conference rather than carry out their threat to go home yesterday.

Shame-faced TONY CONWAY, joint architect of the debacle, hung his head and sought to avoid demands to separate him from his testes by issuing a grovelling apology for his congenital incompetence.

While the bitter debate continued at the HERITAGE, PFLCPSA's paid informer, novitiate JOHN WOOLAS - `the man from Milk Tray ` - made 4 pages of detailed notes before a thuggish Scot threatened violence and invited him to depart. WOOLIE whose first conference this is, has been happily taking similar notes at various other functions throughout the week including the MALIGNANT rally and numerous fringe meetings without trouble till now. The wee bairn doesn't even understand the significance of most of what he was writing.

LEEDHAM LEADS EM... (cont)

Seasoned delegates will remember that LEEDHAM's position as `84 presidential candidate is only a ruse to provide an alibi for members to continue voting for MAID MARION in the absence of a serious candidate. This facade is now under serious threat as is his position as DE chair. His fate will clearly be sealed at the forthcoming emergency `84 conference to be held in the very near future. He has until then to produce something which might pass as a rational explanation for his actions. All eyes are thus on the obvious choice - DICKIE MUGGAN - who is backtracking furiously from his attempt to join the MODs. The opportunist oaf is unlikely to accept the nomination given CHARLATAN's acceptance that the LEFT can't win an election and, in particular, that MARION can't be beat. If he stood against her, then naturally the MODs would remove him from their list and leave him defenceless against the vagaries of democracy. Biting the hand that feeds him is not DUGGOUT's strong point.

REDS
by Ian Leedem

MALIGNANT's rally on Tuesday was apparently honoured by the presence of TOMMY SHERIDAN, president of the Scottish Anti Poll Tax Federation. He melodramatically announced that he had been smuggled across the border to be with them and the gullible TROTS cheered their approval. Even more conspiratorially he announced that “something big” was going to take place in the next day or two but that for “security” reasons he couldn't reveal what it was. We'd all know about it when it happened though. Presumably this can now be seen to have been a direct reference to the Ransacking of GLASGOW DSS by the rabble of 60 RED ruffians who terrorised innocent CPSA Members on Wednesday. With friends like that...

It's hard to believe I know, but not all PFL agents are universally popular. Ace PFL reporter CHRIS MORON has been at it all week. Yesterday he was digging into the SEAWAYS scandal, pestering one of the victims to give him an exclusive; to which she replied, “I don't want to be offensive but you are a boring bastard. Why don't you fuck off before I push you in the swimming pool.”

KEVIN COOMBS BL'84 stooge and BRITISH OBSERVER rushed back from a session on the beach at lunchtime yesterday confidently demanding to know whether the 8 had got life or just the 10 years. `Has the good news been announced?' he inquired in his prep school manner. The news that all 8 had been totally acquitted left him deflated like a used condom.

Other reactions to the `good news' included at least one delegate literally wetting herself; but as we confidently expect her to pay her entirely voluntary subscription for the next years PFL efforts, we wont reveal her name. Yet.

The BOURNEMOUTH 5 has grown throughout the week to the DIRTY DOZEN but number 6 on the list MANDY ENTWHISTLE deserved the special mention (Soviet Hero Class 1) she received at last nights meeting of the Yorkshire Soviet. Turning up at the infamous cockroach infested hovel SEAWAYS - by prior arrangement - in time for breakfast at 8 a.m. on Sunday morning and somewhat knackered after an overnight journey, she was promptly thrown out of a hotel she hadn't even set foot in. The other 6 were turfed out by the insane landlord who called in the TACTICAL SUPPORT GROUP and the dog handlers on Wednesday evening. The lunatic owner who - for future reference - goes by the name of HAMILTON clearly needs serious help - as would any members stupid enough to book in there next year.

Eternal thanks to COLONEL ISLAM, AGENTS APOLLO, BRONK, AND MERCURY, SIR WOY, BARRY REAMSBOTTOM and all the others who made this operation the success it was. Thanks to Conference for paying such close attention to our guidance; though surely it wasn't too much to ask for at least one point of order - perhaps MARION could move one from the Chair. Thanks to Allah the merciful. Thank Christ I can get some sleep now. See you same place, same time next year.

I will return and I will be millions.
Eva Peron

May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame: may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay. May they be like chaff before the wind, with the Angel of the Lord driving them away.
