LETTER : Labour's public-private tussle

THE article by Alan Watkins on Clause IV was the best I've read in 20 years of his column.

Tony Blair and the "modernisers" are wrong in attempts to remove Clause IV from the constitution of the Labour Party. It defines what the party has stood for and should stand for; not Thatcherism or Majorism with a human face but a real alternative.
