[speaking in native tongue] they were among those who came. others may be added. supposedly timid teenager is really a leader in his limited world that many should see him off is not surprising in itself. departures for london were not every day affairs in the day of 1888, but what is striking is the lack of surprise about the send off. he takes it for granted, and the way he reels off the names of persons who quote on quote for among those who came suggests a leader in the making if not one already made. on the ship to england, his cabin mate was a much older man, already a lawyer, also going to become an ambassador in london, and the shich was called the clyde. also from another stat

it was against the common law of england. if you read blackstone, he says if you kill someone in a duel, it's ordinary murder. so it's illegal. it's un-christian. dueling was condemned in the ninth century by the church. not in the 19th, the ninth. and that condemnation was repeat bed at the end of the reformation and was common place of the protestant churches when they came into being with. no christian thought -- every christian thought there was a serious christian argument existence dueling. why? -- against dueling. why? for dueling to make sense, there has to be the some connection between who's right and who wins. ask the only person who can -- and the only person who can make that connection is him. and if you use the duel to force him to make his choice, you are tempting god. and not tempting god is something that christ himself explicitly said we mustn't do. remember, he's on the temple, and he's asked to throw himself down so that the angels will lift him up, and he says, no, thou shalt not tempt the lord god. chri

well, perhaps the honorable gentlemen want to listen to the governor of the bank of england. the uk economy is well placed to return to sustained, balanced growth over the next few years, partly as a result of the credible path of fiscal consolidation. he said this, the right course is set and it's imperative that we maintain it. i prefer the advice of the governor of the bank of england than the man sitting opposite. >> mr. speaker, mr. speaker -- >> order! order! i wish to hear jacob reese. >> thank you, mr. speaker. isn't the lesson from the noble baroness lady thatcher that when you set an economic course you should stick to it. there is no alternative. >> the point -- my honorable friend has a huge following in all parts of the house. [laughter] >> the point he makes is important which is, whatever you plan to do to encourage growth in the economy, and we have lowest the corporation tax rate in the g7. we have abolished labour's jobs thax we are investing in science and skills. all of those things are necessary, but without a plan to deal with the deficit, they are nothi

it was against the common law of england. if you read blackstone he says willing to kill someone is just ordinary murder. it is a capital crime. so it is illegal. it is unchristian. dueling was condemned by the christian church in the ninth century. no christian thought that their -- every christian thought there was a serious christian argument against dueling. why? for dueling to make sense there has to be some connection between who is right in who wins and the only person who can make that connection is him. and you use the tool to force him to make his choice you are tempting god. and not tempting god is something that we mustn't do. and remember he is on the temple temple -- the angels to lift him up and he says no doubt shall not tempt the lord thy god. it is undetectable for this perfectly good christian and by the way also jewish reason. so it is unchristian. it is illegal. this plainly if all because one reason for having a duel is because somebody has accused you you of being dishonest. now falsely accusing you of

new england, the war of 1812 refused to say militia. so in new england, yeah, they're coming back. they are coming back to what? they're coming back to not having their farms anymore. they have to start it all over again. but you find references of the son of a tory marrying the daughter of a rebel, and vice versa. so it starts to recover ,-comcome in particular there was a lot of celebration of this in massachusetts particularly. here's the center of it all and becomes the center of reconciliation. there's no retribution to speak of. we are not the french revolution. and a safety valve really turned out to be candid i think. if there had been a candidate company, we would still be in revolution probably. >> my recollection is, i take it all these other things were going on constantly. >> yeah, yeah. the tories here and there, particularly, one example, william franklin, the son of ben franklin had been the royal governor of new jersey, and he is arrested and put in jail. he escapes and he winds up in new york which was of course under british occupation throughout the war. and sta

as my right honorable friend the chancellor, the governor of the bank of england and i have all said, it is inevitable that, as we recover from those things, it will be choppy and it will be difficult. the worst thing to do would be to ditch our plans on the basis of one quarter's figures. >> the prime minister has been going around for months saying that our economy is out of the danger zone. only a month ago, he told the house, "it is because britain's economy is out of the danger zone and recovering. may i ask him to confirm that? he said that if we set aside the bad weather, the figures were not good. in fact, if we set aside the bad weather, growth was completely flat. there was no growth in the last quarter of 2010, no growth at all. >> that is exactly what the figures show, yes. the right honorable gentleman asked about the danger zone. the point that i would make is this. britain is no longer linked with countries such as greece, ireland and portugal. everyone was clear about the position before the last election. the institute of directors, the confederation of british indust

also in the north of england straight off from that. then i joined the bbc as a trainee. >> what about your mom and dad? what did they do? >> my father also worked at the bbc as a journalist but his working life was, his passion was for the union, that's where he put all his energy over his life and he still, he's a life member of the union. my mother is a teacher. >> if you're -- if you put your passion in a trade union, what does that mean here in this country? >> well, i wonder if it's so different from the states, perhaps -- >> in the states the unions have about, i think it's 12 million membership, something like that, i may be off some, out of a lot more. what's the membership in this country? >> i couldn't give you the numbers but it's high proportion of people working particularly in the public services much more so than in the private sector. unions are still important and powerful and you see in london in the next days and weeks quite a number of big demonstrations because of the cuts to public spending that are coming up. >>

particularly in england that's why they're taking to the streets so that's why we have on one end it's the wake up call and the other one it's screw the people but the people realize what's going on that's the wake up call you say the youth of the world will unite i mean by that this is where the revolution is going to happen the youth of the world have and particularly the united states. of debt to climb and no way to get to the top and they're seeing the too big to fail has bailed out they're seen the gap between the rich and the poor the widest in the united states of any of the industrialized nations so now they have a cause because it's affecting them so what we saw in english in the again with off with their heads what we saw in italy with the students taking to the streets you're going to see in spain you're going to see in r.l. and you already sort in france figured out how about in the u.s. the u.s. again is going to be slower but it's going to happen here at a different level remember the u.s. the place has been beaten down and pushed down and you're going to see a revolution
