| Editorial comments: | Date conjectured. Best guess is that these were MT’s notes for her off-the-cuff remarks to Conservative Agents, late in the evening of 11 October. The content does not appear in her conference speech drafts at any stage, includes references to events during the conference itself and was plainly intended for delivery to an audience. Typescript by editor interleaved. Had the bomb been better placed, these would have been her last words in public. |
| Importance ranking: | Key |

| Themes: | Privatized & state industries, Labour Party & socialism, Law & order, Trade unions, Strikes & other union action, 1984-85 coal strike |
