I remember a big meeting with the hosiery trade in Harold's ministerial room.

That's what we meant - a society which was held together by the sense of our being members, one of another, interdependent, and we did.

And that will increasingly dawn on people. The demand for controlling the commanding heights will grow.

They had to have been that deeply ingrained sentiments of the well-to-do in Britain.

And that had a powerful appeal, particularly to those who had been denied the choice to stay on at school, to go to university, to be something else, other than going down the pit.

Britain in the 1970s was undoubtedly an economic mess because of the oil price explosion.

I remember going down one working class street near the wool mill and its dye works. I don't know whether you have ever endured the smell of dye on wet wool, but it was appalling.

And I was as fed up as anybody, not having nice, fully fashioned glamour stockings.

So he upped and left home. He said, I'm just an encumbrance to you. The heartlessness of that system and that period is very difficult for anybody today to grasp.

It's just really - I was going to say organized greed, except that it was very disorganized. But it was an emotional, oh-I-can-make-money-here, never mind what the effect is on anybody else.

By accumulating, 5 percent of the richest people got 40 percent of Nigel Lawson's giveaway budget in 1988, and they didn't spend it on our own industries but on foreign luxuries.

Otherwise, if it accumulates in a few hands, the very rich don't spend it on domestic products. They spend it on yachts, abroad, on little foreign islands.

There's already a new world unrest showing itself among those who are left on the sidelines when this great accumulation of power takes place.

We didn't invest or anything, not only during the war but during the Depression years which preceded it. And so we said it'd only mean you'd run up an enormous bill and it wouldn't help us.

I always remember the austerity we still had to exercise because we'd lost our export markets while we produced the munitions of war.

They'll pay and pay and pay. But it precipitated the recession by wrecking world trade, and that was the great blow.

I remember people who'd had a lot of hardship during the war. They'd thought we'd won.

You must always remember that Sir William Beveridge, who was a liberal (they were pretty left wing in those days, the Liberals), not a Labor Party chap, produced his great report in the middle of the war.
