After a very late night, I was tired getting up this morning on a fine day but still wrote to the local Euro election candidate and Paddy Ashdown before my press interview with Tracey Reddit of Saint Neots Weekly News. Earlier to bed this evening after replacing my book photographs in my album. Thatcher is under siege from external industrial disputes and internal dissent over EEC economic cooperation and the EMS and her Welsh colleagues urge to keep Peter Walker as Welsh Secretary.
I was very late to bed again and tired when it was time to get up this morning. I was going to do some paperwork but decided to read the mail and newspapers and then type a long letter of advice and consolation to the local Democrat Euro candidate with a copy to Paddy Ashdown. After lunch, I had a press interview with Tracey Reddit of the Saint Neots Weekly News. We chatted for a while about my book and my past career and she then took notes for a profile article to be published soon. This evening, I resumed my task of replacing the book photographs in my album and managed to get to bed by 10:30 PM for once. The opposition within the UK Conservative Party and Europe are pressing Thatcher to adopt closer EEC economic cooperation and the need to get Sterling into the European Monetary System. Michael Heseltine, Lord Plumb and others back the move. Welsh Tories have urged Thatcher to keep Peter Walker as Welsh Secretary. Growing industrial problems for British rail, the Underground and the BBC. Thatcher is under siege! Another fine day today and the same forecast for tomorrow.
