He was more of a firebrand as a younger man. Here’s the original: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2yjLr5fMX4A&pp=ygUebmVpbCBraW5ub2NrIDEsMDAwIGdlbmVyYXRpb25z

I did this too - the only video I did find was an American one focused on the plagiarism that spliced bits of Kinnock's speech with that of Biden's. So I doubt it was Biden's team wiping it from the Internet but it is odd that there's not a single video of it.

Is this it? https://www.speech.almeida.co.uk/neil-kinnock Says it's from 1987, and I think Biden stole it in 1988. I had no idea about this btw. Very grateful to trip for bringing it up.

Biden also stole it in 1987. It was for the nomination in ‘88 but it was early in the primary process.

Yes! That’s it! Thanks. At least I have the text. Maybe someone has a smart AI recommendation that will render it to his voice?

The News Agents interviewed him recently and they play that speech during the interview. Starts at 26m (give or take). Should be able to find it where you get your pods.

Just listening to it. Incredible! He gave the speech without notes! Totally ad lib. https://open.spotify.com/episode/44Xxpw0RkF21OI4gSqmd1z?si=Nb5GyoR0SLOCVib-JKVILQ&t=1850

Yep, spine tingling. My favourite political speech.

God it's so prophetic with what they've done to the UK.

A real fiery Welsh politician. Islwyn’s finest.

I don't know why he said a thousand generations which was way back in the stone age. Universities haven't been around for 100 generations never mind 1000.

I *think* it was at least partly ad libbed, which might explain things like this. I recall hearing that he had a speech prepared in the usual way but on the day decided it wasn’t right for the event, so he just got up and spoke.
