25.01.1976 Biblical truths

I got home well before dinner and practised with the flail for an hour. Did the usual preparation in the afternoon, then watched the television. What an interesting day! The snow’s just about cleared up, despite a fall this morning.
Read some of the Communist Party programme in the evening. I’m reading it section by section so I can think about what will and what will not work. Unlike the first phase, I am not accepting every printed word as some gospel truth, but using my critical faculties. Of course, there is some bias, but I can only compare this to the bias towards Biblical truths that a student of theology might have.
As for Bridlington, I’m not so sure. There will be a new draft of leaflets this week, but their effects will not be monumental. Of 2000 leaflets, if only one person joins the party, it will be worth the cost of printing (about £2/1000). However, I’m not distributing on that scale. By the law of averages, there must be some excellent young communist material in the area (and many more with Marxist tendencies). The main thing is to find them and get them together. A YCL branch by 1977? Possible, but certainly no dream.
