Profile of a Forensic Speaker: Margaret Thatcher

This case looks at Margaret Thatcher's communication style in the unsettled environment of the mid seventies and eighties in the United Kingdom when she became leader of the Conservative party and Prime Minister. It looks at how she developed her communication style and her message. It also looks at the mimetic style and content of the speech of one of her cabinet colleagues who was instrumental in eventually bringing her down, using the same famous forensic style that had become associated with her.
