I could marry Joe Gowlan tomorrow
just by raising my little finger.
:29:07
But I'm not going to raise it. Not just yet.

(DAVEY) The case for private
ownership varies according to what it is.
:29:53
(MAN) The case for public ownership
varies according to who puts it.
:29:57
(DAVEY) I'll put it this way.
:29:59
If private ownership of coal mines,
why not lighthouses?
:30:04
Because there's no profit in a lighthouse.
:30:06
Please, it's taken...
:30:09
I don't believe that everything
under the sun should be publicly owned,
:30:15
but coal mining is not something
under the sun.
:30:20
- Hear hear!
- That's not my point, Mr Nugent.
:30:23
There's a fundamental difference
between coal mining and most industries.
:30:28
It is that coal, like iron
and other natural resources,
:30:32
was not invented, manufactured
or even cultivated by man,
:30:37
it is put there by nature for man to take.
:30:41
These natural resources, ladies
and gentlemen - national resources -
:30:46
are not the basis of a few industries,
incidental to our nation's structure.
:30:51
They are the basis of all our industry.
The life blood of every industry.
:30:55
They are the very foundation
upon which our nation is built.
