- In the midst of an escalating stand-off between the Conservative government and the National Union of Mineworkers, the Prime Minister, Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, gives an incendiary statement to the House of Commons in defiance against a motion of no confidence in her economic policies put forth by the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Neil Kinnock.
Mrs. Thatcher also takes aim at Mr. Tony Benn, in particular the legacy left by his time in service as Secretary of State for Energy.

I am an ex. miner. She took us from being the sick man of Europe to being the strong man. Best Prime Minister in my life time, Strong lady,
A formidable lady that not only spoke with courage amongst uproar, but with wisdom and knowledge to expose and eliminate her opponents whom screamed with rage without any real substance.
I love the back and forth between Thatcher and Tony Benn.
Powerful speech!
The conduct of the Labour Parliamentary Party during this parliament was just abysmal. The backdrop to this speech was just a cacophony of near-berserk incoherence.
She really did get under their skin. Lived in their heads rent-free.
Coal mining should have been phased out during the 1960s.
In a way, it was, because it was under the Labour governments of the 60's and 70's that more mines were shut than at any other time. But at Thatcher pointed out, the socialists didn’t like to hear that fact.
