I was a young man working in London in my first proper job since leaving university. It was so clear that we were witnessing history in the making. They were extraordinary times.
More specifically about the actions of the British government on this occasion, the then junior Foreign Office minister Malcolm Rifkind visited Poland, coincidentally arriving on the day of Popiełuszko's funeral. Rifkind laid a wreath at the church in Warsaw before going on to have meetings with local leaders of Solidarity. This helped force the Polish government’s hand in its dealings with the union and set a precedent that was to be followed by other visiting Western politicians.
