Politics East Midlands

ARCHIVE. Not East Midlands but it shows that people you meet on the streets always have a lot to say and sometimes it can be uncomfortable to the decision makers. This is an interview from July 1984. Had just started work at BBC Radio Cumbria. Often wonder what happened to the pair sniffing glue in a Carlisle park. You can hear the awful cough one already had. They should be in their 50’s now.

That’s Labour’s view. Here’s Nottingham South MP Lilian Greenwood giving her reaction on the day the Rail Plan was published.

Is the Governments rail plan going to give us speedier train travel sooner ? Or is it a missed opportunity not sticking to the HS2 plan in full? Ben Bradley MP, leader of Notts CC, says it’s good news for Nottinghamshire.

Lord Heseltine says pro Europeans should take a lesson from the Brexiteers. He says they should never give up trying to restore Britain’s position to the European corridors of power. He believes it’s the young generation who will push for a reversal of Brexit. Interview recorded November 6th 2021 in Nottingham.
