Found as one of the comments in the Guardian earlier)
How History repeats itself in ALL Tory Governments.
This is an excerpt from Neil Kinnock’s speech dated 7 June 1983 just before the General Election:
"I warn you that you will have pain–when healing and relief depend upon payment.
I warn you that you will have ignorance–when talents are untended and wits are wasted, when learning is a privilege and not a right.
I warn you that you will have poverty–when pensions slip and benefits are whittled away by a government that won’t pay in an economy that can’t pay.
I warn you that you will be cold–when fuel charges are used as a tax system that the rich don’t notice and the poor can’t afford.
I warn you that you must not expect work–when many cannot spend, more will not be able to earn. When they don’t earn, they don’t spend. When they don’t spend, work dies.
If Margaret Thatcher wins on Thursday
I warn you not to be ordinary
I warn you not to be young
I warn you not to fall ill
I warn you not to get old."
