Mrs Thatcher

Only we try to keep a very close watch on any organisations in London. Some of whose members may have turned to terrorism. We do try keep a very close watch on it. You can't I'm afraid stop everything.

Mrs Thatcher went on to say that the police had been marvellous and offered them warm congratulations on finding some of the bombs before they exploded.
