Blair pledges to purge Britain of 'the forces of conservatism.'

Article Abstract:

UK Prime Minister Tony Blair presented a vision of a New Britain offering equal opportunities for everyone in his speech to the 1999 Labour party conference. He believes that it is now time for the government to adopt a bolder approach, developing a range of policies and ideas. He wishes to ensure that all children and pensioners are freed from poverty, and wants to ensure that women, blacks and Asians can enjoy unhampered career progression and that inner-city children can gain places at the best universities.
