Venue: | Willisham, near Ipswich, Suffolk |
Source: | Daily Mail, 19 April 1979 |
Editorial comments: | Available on CD-ROM only. 1305-1345. Glasgow Herald has MT saying as she tried to clear journalists out of shot: "It’s not for me. It’s for the photographers. They are the important thing". (Some other papers - e.g., Daily Mail, 20 April 1979 - reported "It’s not for me. It’s for the photographers - they’re the really important people in this election".) See Stephen Fay in the Spectator, 28 April 1979: "Her comment has already been reported: `It’s not for me, it’s the photographers; they’re the important people in this campaign’. It was intended as a joke, but humour is not one of her assets and it misfired". |
