morning Britain for the very first time

after months years of preparation we

have at last what we've always wanted

we've never been a congregation of

actors put together that would come

within a mile of this bunch and I'm

gonna miss them very much what if three

people could live secure in the

knowledge that their security did not

rest upon the threat of instant us

retaliation to deter a Soviet attack

that we could intercept and destroy

strategic ballistic missiles before they

reached our own soil or that of our

allies I am directing a comprehensive

and intensive effort to define a long

term research and development program to

begin to achieve our ultimate goal of

eliminating the threat posed by

strategic nuclear missiles I mean I have

bad dreams cause of this weapons we are

going into a new lunatic age and

somebody needs to stand up and be

counted and I saw it I must be there to

be counted with them

sweet dreams are made of

this is what it's like being on the

campaign trail with a prime minister in

1983 it's as far removed from

traditional campaigning as it's possible

to imagine there aren't many voters in

sight well there are are hundreds of

members of the media who swarm around

the prime minister to follow her every

move and the idea from the Conservatives

point of view is to get the best

possible exposure on the TV news that

evening

the Argentinian battleship why did you

give the orders to sink it but it was

not sailing away from the Falklands it

was in and statistics I can't contradict

you but I credit that pond in good faith

mr. day you raised the statistics at

this election we have a chance to banish

forever the dark divisive clouds of

extreme left-wing socialism it is right

that there should be a degree of

diversity within Britain I if we see a

drift into a completely centralized

state then you're going to have

Michael foot is the leader of the Labour

Party Michael foot speaks for the Labour

Party

rid of ken livingstone it merely sends

him somewhere else

but I think the English music asleep is

the trend

American music sauce

if your flavor of the month in Britain

you've got a good chance of getting

through in America right now

my feeling is we all have to die

sometime now if it's my fate to die - an

assassin's bullet Soviet wake of the

barbaric act committed yesterday with

the Soviet regime the United States and

many other countries the world made

clear and compelling statements that

expressed not only our outrage but also

our demand for a truthful accounting of

the facts

nice to be able to go into a shop and

such and I've got captain Rawdon

video recorders we have the highest

proportion compared with the population

and it comes in

I very seriously want to be Prime

Minister because that will mean if the

Labour Party is one that we've got power

and we can rescue our country that's why

I want to be Prime Minister that's why I

want the leader of the Labour Party to

be Prime Minister

and that's why I want to be leader of

the Labour Party I therefore declare

Neil Kinnock elected as leader

No

this event has caused a great deal of

disappointment and a great deal of

concern amongst people I know the PM is

backing you but will you continue or

what do you resign yes I will continue I

intend to continue in office

and we do not forget today the man who

so brilliantly organized the campaign

undertaking I make no further point I've

kept it other people can answer their

own behavior

shadow over gatherings like this one of

young people dedicated to the highlight
