THE LISTENING UNION SUPPORTS THE LISTENING PA

17 MARXISM TODAY APRIL 1988 • Idlewild

Trend-setters, lovers, idols of millions, and Tracey Thorn have constantly striven to bring unabridged sex and politics to the attention of a drowsy nation. Thrusting their heads once more through the mire of the pop industry, they arrive again with a new L.P of eleven wonderfully short songs, lovingly entitled "Idlewild". Recorded in London amid growing concerns that life was going on as normal it includes, for no apparent reason, their latest trendy single "These Early Days". Ben is heard to sing again, Tracey to sing even louder. The arrangements are spartan, the lyrics unprintable. At a recent United Nations Convention, a leading Head of State would only describe these new recordings as "impish and 'with it'". Too daring, too carefree, too naughty to take their rightful place in the polluted mainstream of modern popular music, Ben and Tracey ride on and on into the Valley of Death. Dare you hitch a ride with Everything But The Girl? They are so scary!

34 MARXISM TODAY APRIL 1988

1381-1988 THE POLL TAXES AND THE PEASANTS REVOLT 1988 will see the introduction of a Poll Tax for the first time since 1381. In the reign of King Richard II the tax caused an explosion of rage against the King's Government. Today, the proposed Community Charge is provoking a great debate about the future of local democracy - will it increase the democratic accountability of local politicians, or will it force the poor to 'abstain' from their voting rights while reducing the tax bills of the rich? Citisights' Poll Tax debate looks at the events of 1381 and 1988 from a historical point of view and from the viewpoint of the left, right and centre of modem politics to discover the real issues involved. Distinguised academics and politicians will debate the Poll Taxes and provide a unique forum for re-evaluating the past so as to plan for a better future. The cost of the day is £7.50 inclusive of tea and coffee. £6.50 for OAP's, UB40's and students. Sunday, 19 June 1988 Westminster Cathedral Conference Centre Session 1: 1381 PROGRAMME 10:00-10:45 The Peasants Revolt - the sequence of events. 10:45-11:15 Coffee 11:15-12:00 The Royalist Viewpoint - Mobs, Murder and Anarchy. 12:00-12:45 The Democratic Viewpoint - People Power and the first glimmering of English Radical Politics. 12:45-2:00 Lunch Session 2: 1988 2:00-2:40 The Community Charge - the facts about the Poll Tax, who pays, and who will benefit. 2:40-3:15 The Government's Case - the need for rate reform to improve the accountability of Local Government. 3:15-3:45 Tea 3:45-4:20 The Opposition's Case - a Tax on the Poor for the Rich and a Tax on Democracy. 4:20-5:30 Discussion and Debate.
