With all due respect, Miss Roberts, what may have served in Grantham... Young Margaret Thatcher:
Can serve very well for the people of Dartford too. Male Guest - 1949:
Really? Young Margaret Thatcher:
I know much more than those who have never lived on a limited income. Just like the man or woman on the street, when I am short one week, I have to make economies the next. Grey Suited Guest - 1949:
Nothing like a slice of fiscal responsibility. Young Margaret Thatcher:
A man might call it fiscal responsibility, a woman might call it good housekeeping. Male Guest - 1949:
I'm not sure a home economics lesson is quite what the Dartford constituents need. They see industry being nationalized, the unions on the up, the pound on the slide... whoever can sort that lot out - he's my man. Young Margaret Thatcher:
