Letter: Blair `shock-troops'

Sir: With "shock-troops" like Second Term does Tony Blair need enemies? The views put forward by Nick Prior and his friends are resonant of another group of young turks from the 1980s - the Federation of Conservative Students. Advocating drug decriminalisation and an end to the monarchy finally prompted that well-known moderate Norman Tebbit to close down the FCS. Will the Labour Party be dealing similarly with Mr Prior and friends?
