• Los habitantes de las Malvinas, como los del Reino Unido, son una raza insular. Son pocos, pero tienen derecho a vivir en paz, a elegir su propio modo de vida y a determinar su lealtad. Su modo de vida es británico; su lealtad, a la Corona. El deseo del pueblo británico y el deber del Gobierno de Su Majestad es hacer todo lo posible para defender ese derecho. Esa será nuestra esperanza y nuestro esfuerzo y, creo, la determinación de todos los miembros de esta Cámara.

• The Prime Minister, shortly after she came into office, received a sobriquet as the 'Iron Lady'. It arose in the context of remarks which she made about defence against the Soviet Union and its allies; but there was no reason to suppose that the Right Honourable Lady did not welcome and, indeed, take pride in that description. In the next week or two this House, the nation and the Right Honourable Lady herself, will learn of what metal she is made.

I feel like I'd like the dust to settle a little bit before going back.

• Me opuse a la guerra de Suez, me opuse a la guerra de las Malvinas. Me opuse al bombardeo de Libia y me opuse a la guerra del Golfo y nunca creí que ninguno de esos argumentos de principios perdiera un solo voto; de hecho, creo que ganaron apoyos, aunque no fue por eso por lo que lo hicieron. Lo que ha faltado en la política laborista durante mucho tiempo es una posición de principios.
