That Miliband Hyde Park Speech - What You Missed.
"My fellow Americans, I have a dream, a dream of a country where women get the vote and black people can sit on buses without fear of being arrested, yes, this is the Britain we are marching towards, a Britain where slavery has been abolished and every Tolpuddle Martyr has been freed.
Today I stand before you, a simple Labour leader, to join your protest against some of the cuts, though obviously not all of them because let's face it if we'd been elected we would have to have made some too... (boos from audience).
No let me finish if it hadn't been for the previous Labour government we wouldn't be here today, hang on ...(more boos from audience) let me finish by saluting you all and assuring you in the words of Martin Luther Kennedy, "Ich Bin Ein Milibander".
