Labour Party conference: Day 2: 14.08 - 15.23 / Tony Blair speech: Part 1; Part 20 ENGLAND: Brighton: INT Tony Blair MP (Labour Leader) speech SOT / cutaways of audience including Peter Mandelson. - "I want us to be a young country again with a common purpose, ideals we cherish and live up to, not resting on past glories, fighting old battles and sitting back, hand on mouth, concealing a yawn of cynicism, but ready for the day’s challenge, ambitious, idealistic, united, where people succeed on the basis of what they did to their country, rather than what they take from their country, not saying, ‘This was a great country,’ but ‘Britain can and will be a great country again.’ A young country: no more bosses versus workers - partnership at the workplace; no more public versus private - cooperation to rebuild our nation’s road, rail, inner cities and regions; no more boom and bust economics, but stability which businesses need to plan for the future; help for small businesses; a new relationship between public and private sector, measures to encourage long term investment. But above all, I present to you today our proposals to equip our people and businesses for new technological and economic challenge, to change the basis of this country's thinking of the past 100 years.
