The Making Of A Liverpool Militant

by Tony Mulhearn

Tony Mulhearn was expelled from the Labout Party by Kinnock, surcharged and removed from office by Thatcher and sacked from his job by Rupert Murdoch, so, as he comments, he must have been doing something right.

In this book, Tony describes in vivid detail the events leading to his surcharge and removal from office by an unelected District Auditor, his expulsion from the Labour Party, and the witch-hunt against the 47 Liverpool councillors. The purge was led by a gaggle of anti-socialist forces ranging from the rabid anti-Labour media, aided and abetted by those in the Labour Party who would pave the way for Blairism. It was based on a tissue of falsehoods, guilt by association and 'anonymous' testimony, used commonly throughout the ages.

This is the autobiography/memoirs of Tony Mulhearn.
