VERBATIM OR NOTHING.
Mansfield’s Labour town councillors object to their speeches being “touched up” by reporters, and the party leader, Mr C. <l. Marriot, the deputy-mayor, who i< a foundry worker, demanded that his speech should appear either “with no trimmings or not at all.” Here are some extracts from tin 1 report of the speech in the local newspapers:—
“If I had a garden, and 1 wanted to go in inv garden, if I was short of some greenstuff, or even some potatoes, on a Sunday, 1 should go and get them oil a Sunday. I should not stick at that particular point, at that particular point altogether. Because that doesn’t constitute not goin’ into your garden get I in’ potatoes, that doesn’t say you are not a Christian. You can be as good a Christian by goin’ and gettin' ’em as you can be a Christian by not gettin’ ’em.”
