Thatcher Now that brings me to the Liberal Party. I gather that during the last few days there have been some ill natured jokes about their new symbol.A bird of some kind. Adopted by the Liberal Democrats at Blackpool.Politics is a serious business and one should not lower the tone unduly.
(ma** laughter)
Thatcher So I will say only this of the Liberal Democrat symbol and the party it symbolizes.
This is an ex-parrot.
(ma** laughter)
Thatcher It is not merely stunned, it has ceased to be, expired and gone to meet its maker.
(ma** laughter)
Thatcher It is a Parrot no more. It has run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is a late parrot.
(ma** laughter)
Thatcher And now for something completely different.
