Eu'Rage, Britannia Stage

Introduction.. An excerpt from a speech by Mr Keith Campbell 1969, On the need of a referendum on joining the 'common market' the people are discussing it up and down the land every day, they want the opportunity to express their views. If they are deprived of that opportunity they will resent the fact. For Parliament to tell those people that while they may have their views, they will not have any chance of expressing them and that this momentous decision will be taken by members of Parliament alone, regardless of the opinions of the people, would be a piece of unforgivable arrogance. Britain 1965, Leyland's factory doing fine, 40 percent of cars, go onto U K road Bought from British steel, goods in trains of loads Defunct in 1985, a proof of industrial decline? Once upon a time the Rolls Royce brand Was made and homed within, Brit-ain.. Now owned, and sold by another land Here is well shown again, the markets gain.' Swan Hunter that towered the mighty Tyne Gave work to generations, of thousands ten The pound was 'pegged' interest rates to climb Bank of England was to be broken then.'
