April 29th, 1987: Neil Kinnock is sitting with Peter Mandelson and Bryan Gould
Mandelson: What I'm saying is that we cannot win by placing emphasis on the Miner's Strike and Westland.
Gould: Nor can we win on Europe.
Kinnock: Well wot can we do?
Mandelson: That's the thing, we've added a new member to our staff.
Kinnock: Please don't tell me you hired...
Gould: Yes, Boss Johnson (fic)
Kinnock Facepalms
Mandelson: This time he has some good ideas.
Johnson Enters, he gives off the aura of a "Boss," clad in a double-breasted pinstriped suit. He sits down and puts his Italian footwear clad feet on the desk.
Kinnock: This better be good.
Johnson: Oh trust me, it is.
Gould: Boss has a plan to add to our Kinnock: The Movie campaign.
Johnson: Let us look at this Community Charge that Thatcher is going to propose. Let us take the worst case scenario that this will result in. We will attack her on it.
Kinnock: Fair enough.
Johnson: We will also attack her mercilessly on the Nuclear Deterrent, she's been in Reagan's pocket way too long. It is time that we point this out.
Kinnock's Jaw Drops
Kinnock: That will backfire worse than the Miner's issue...
Johnson: No it will not, trust me.
