Early Margaret Thatcher Interview Outlines Thatcherism (1976)

On 4 October 1976, Conservative leader Margaret Thatcher MP sat down for a lengthy interview with ITN’s Julian Haviland to discuss The Right Approach, the Conservative Party policy statement published that day. It aimed to restore “hope and confidence to a disillusioned British people“ by offering “a return to common sense“. As can be seen in this interview, many of its core principles and proposed policies are the same that would be implemented following Thatcher’s election victory in 1979 and which are now commonly referred to under the umbrella of “Thatcherism“. #MargaretThatcher #Thatcher #Thatcherism #Conservative #ConservativeParty #Tory #ToryParty #FreeMarket #Austerity #Socialism #ColdWar #1970s #1976 #Politics #UKPolitics #Economy To license the footage featured in this clip, follow the link below: To search the ITN Archive collection on Getty Images, follow the link below: 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel (tap the bell icon and stay up to date with all the latest ITN Archive videos!) - @ITNArchive 🎥 Follow us on Twitter - 🎥 Like us on Facebook - 🎥 Check out our TikTok - @itnarchive1955
