Our Political Editor, John Cole, later asked the Prime Minister about her personal style. Was she too much the Headmistress?:
Thatcher
Well, I've known some very, very good headmistresses who've launched their pupils on wonderful careers, I had one such and was very, very grateful. But I am what I am. Yes, my style is a vigorous leadership. Yes, I do believe certain things very strongly. Yes, I do believe in trying to persuade people that the things I believe in are the things which they should follow. And, Mr. Cole, I'm far too old to change now.
