Ultimately, then, the attitudes Mrs Thatcher expressed in it led to her own downfall.

Reforms will be put in place to ensure the tests on convergence and flexibility are met.
The chief figures in command are in favour of joining the euro; how and when, as opposed to if, are the issues that give them most trouble. By leaving the crunch economic calculations in Mr Brown's hands, the prime minister had allowed him to set the pace and the policy. It was time to make the case for Britain in Europe, said Mr Blair.
What does this mean for you? The UK's financial services will remain competitive inside and outside the euro. "There is a growing together of ideas between Europe and Britain on both fiscal and monetary policy," said Mr Brown. The government should accept and rule out any attempt to bounce Britain into the euro before the next election.
They tried to iron out any wrinkles caused by joining after the event.
"Eurozone countries, business and pro-Europeans will be watching to see if they really do make the economic changes necessary to turn around public opinion.
The speech also further convinced senior pro-Europeans in her cabinet that she had to be stopped. And will the endless media speculation now come to an end?
You could almost see the internal battle as the two competing entities struggled for control of the chancellor's body. There are two big European issues on the agenda at the moment. Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are set to issue a pro-European rallying call at a news conference in Downing Street on Tuesday. "Back to the euro, Mr Brown insisted that the government was not trying to replicate the housing markets of other countries with Britain's housing market. No-one expects the result to be anything other than "no".
It was met with dismay by some manufacturers, who claim the vagaries of the exchange rate harms trade with the eurozone. Certainly, the economic gap between Britain and Europe has narrowed in the past few years, as Mr Brown himself admits.
The government should accept and rule out any attempt to bounce Britain into the euro before the next election. "Mr Brown is rightly making EU reform a centrepiece of UK government policy," Mr Jones said. And he said the government would also review its inflation targets as part of efforts to meet the te
The anti-euro campaign also likes to claim joining the euro will mean more legislation from Brussels.
But for most of the eurozone countries this is just the latest in a series of transformations.
The biggest hauls of fakes have come from South-East Europe and the Baltic states.
Business and the City seem to be more neutral on the issue than pro-euro campaigners had hoped.
But the UK will continue to be a member of the European Union.
Joining the euro would mean "competitiveness would be lost, growth would be hampered and jobs would be put at risk". Well, at least some things are clear. But for most of the eurozone countries this is just the latest in a series of transformations. One is the government's decision on whether the UK is ready to join the euro. The other countries have taken the risks with the introduction of the Euro, but this country wants to 'wait and see'. But it could be a while before enough progress on this has been made to produce the kind of unambiguous convergence required to produce a "yes" to the first tests.
Equally, the argument that a "one-size-fits all" interest rate can never work simply does not hold water.
So the truth, now officially conceded in Treasury documents, is that the euro has big advantages - and big disadvantages.
The Mirror demands to know how such a thing could have happened.
So what are these tests?
The result of that is that Britain has lower unemployment and higher growth than its major European competitors.
Supporters of the euro believe that a shared cash currency would allow Britain to compare its own prices and wages more easily with those of its European counterparts. Its aim is purely to examine how the EU should work in the future.
