Tony Benn's Diary Entry 30th November 1978
The reaction to Neave's speech has been truly extraordinary. All of Ford's factories in the country are on strike. Vauxhall have followed suit and the TUC are in discussions. Jim made a good but rather sterile speech in the Commons attacking the white paper. Neave has reacted with customary arrogance. I really feel this is the start of something incredible.
