Social Credit leader Bruce Beetham in Hospital

Description

This image was taken by the Evening Standard and was published on the 10th of January 1983.

The caption read: "SOCIAL Credit leader Bruce Beetham, relaxing in hospital this morning, says he is ‘absolutely staggered’ at media claims that he had a heart attack. Someone had an over-active imagination, he said. The information that he had suffered a heart attack was politically damaging and could be interpreted as ‘wilful mischief’. ‘The reason I'm here is my blood pressure problem needs adjustment.’ he said."
