Thatcher 5 - Newspaper headlines a week before the election
Strangely have a children's guide to the 1983 election, which has a facsimile of the main newspaper's headlines on April 26th 1979, which was a week before the election. The slashes separate headlines, as even the tabloids had more than one on those days, otherwise nothing much seems to change. I think the Times was closed.Daily Mirror: My Son, My Son - A mum's loving reunion after four lost years/Cool-it coppers keep lid on NF demo danger/£4000 million (Tory cuts)
The Sun: Disaster Looms for Libs/Legal sex for Tiny Teens/Storm over 'Jim's 'anti-hunt' cash/L-teachers spicy confessions
Daily Star: Howell the Olympic Meddler/Rod Stewart in baby riddle/Police ghost squad for NF rally
Daily Mail: Labour's Dirty Dozen - 12 big lies they hope will save them (the ones I can read are 'the Tories will double VAT/Raise the price of butter 12p/Increase prescription charges/Dismember BA/Sell of shares in BP - these were apparently provided by C.O)
Daily Express - Maggie I back the rope
The Guardian - Major parties forced to rethink tactics/Bomb attack on capital/Two shot in Ulster/Peace in Middle Easte after one last hitch/Police keep peace at Front meeting
The Daily Telegraph - Police foil violence at NF rally/Tories fear Liberal upsurge/Russian free exiled Doctor's mother and son/Shares hit record - £ falls/Dr Coggan barred by Poland
Financial Times - Callaghan attacks Conservatives over union co-operation/National Front protest peaceful/Mexico move to cut costs of $3bn debts/Warning on arms treaty by Carter/Egypt-Israel treaty ratified/Ulster killins/Iran police move
