• Objetivamente, las diferencias de clase en acento, vestimenta, modales y estilo de vida en general son mucho menores; y uno no puede, paseando por la calle o viajando en tren, identificar instantáneamente el origen social de una persona como puede hacerlo en Inglaterra. Subjetivamente, las relaciones sociales son más naturales e igualitarias, y están menos marcadas por la deferencia, la sumisión o el esnobismo, como uno descubre rápidamente por el taxista, el camarero, la azafata y el dependiente de la farmacia.

Its policy must be that of those who believe that the present leadership of the Labour Party is not sufficiently Socialist.

• A menos que los Estados árabes reconozcan formalmente a Israel, dentro de unas fronteras seguras, reconocidas y mutuamente acordadas, como un elemento permanente de la geografía y la política de Oriente Próximo. Pero para que Israel obtenga este reconocimiento, debe, en un acuerdo, poner fin a la ocupación territorial que mantiene desde la guerra de 1967; los nueve miembros de la Comunidad Europea han declarado que éste es un elemento esencial de un acuerdo. En nombre del Gobierno británico subrayo hoy esa necesidad.
