Rixen dispute
Sir,—“ ‘lf you want to be involved in a dispute which is not your making . . . then you carry on supplying (Rixen) and I will shut your place down,’ said Mr Knox.” I do not want my country run by trade union bosses. I want a government which has the guts to govern instead of merely mouthing platitudes about law and order and making a show of comparatively innocent protesters. This is blackmail and blackmail is crime. It has happened several times this year. I want an answer from the Minister of Justice publicly assuring us that this time he will display enough courage to take on this anarchy before it destroys us. — Yours, etc., G. STEVEN. October 23, 1981.
