Spitting Image - Thatcher Winding Up speech

This one makes me laugh. I was looking for something about her resignation in 1990, but didn’t find the one where she can’t hold back the tears as she departs Downing Street one final time as Prime Minister. This one more than makes up for it and highlights the power of speeches not really for their content in as much as they can serve the appropriate style and charisma to keep your supporters onside and give opponents the impression that even if the content doesn’t stand up to much it won’t matter because the force of will brings about victory anyway. For all my opinions on the woman there is no doubting that the number of people who want a leader like her in charge would have risen considerably in the light of recent developments. Enjoy.
