This week: The Losers
A special report on the last General Election by Trevor Philpott.
The will to fight, they say, comes from the hope of victory. But what about the men who have to fight without any hope at all; who know, even before they begin, that they are doomed to lose? For that sort of fight a man needs a special kind of stomach.
"We shall all make mistakes. I shall make the worst mistakes..." Conservative Candidate (Old Etonian)
"When you walk the dales as a Labour man, it is like having the black plague..."
Labour Candidate (Railway Signalman)
