Description

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher makes a speech in which she lists what she regards as Tory achievements - low inflation, mortgage interest relief, the right of trade unionists to vote in their unions, the accessibility of share ownership, adequate defences - and says none of them should be taken for granted. She dismisses reports that Thatcherism is on the wane, as eyewash.
