Diary of Betrayal
The Diary of Betrayal is a publication, click here for the full document, which details the events summarised in the Analysis Tab, click here of this website.
Following the national and international tsunami of support for the Combine and the Lucas Plan, quoting from official letters and documents, the Diary tracks how the Labour government, some national trades union officials and Lucas Aerospace directors formed and unholy alliance to defeat the Combine and the Plan (remembering that the Labour Party National Conference had already adopted unanimously' support for the Combine and the Plan as Party policy; and that the Combine had done with great effort, what the Government's secretary of state at the DTI had recommended!)
The Diary begins in 1974 and tracks events to approximately 1979.
Democracy versus the Circumlocution Office
is a publication by the Institute for Workers' Control and covers similar territory to the Diary, click here for the full publication. Both publications are fascinating for Lucas Plan enthusiasts.
The Circumlocution Office is to be found in Charles Dickens Little Dorritt:-
'No public business of any kind could possibly be done at any time, without the acquiescence of the Circumlocution Office....if another gunpowder plot had been discovered just half an hour before the lighting of the match, nobody would have been justified in saving the parliament.......unless there had been...half a bushel of minutes, several sacks of official memoranda and a family vault full of ungrammatical correspondence, on the part of the Circumlocution Office.'
Sounds very familiar!
