Description

Shadow Foreign Secretary Gerald Kaufman is shocked by Margaret Thatcher’s remarks about the expulsion from South Africa of a journalist from the Today newspaper and IRN’s Gareth Furby. The prime Minister quoted the reasons set out by the South African government- he claims this proves she really supports the totalitarian regime and not freedom of the press. Male interviewer not identified. For Brian Widlake programme. Audio muffled.
