Speech to the Conservative Party Conference (10 October 1975) http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/102777 <br class="br">Leader of the Opposition <br class="br">Context: Some Socialists seem to believe that people should be numbers in a State computer. We believe they should be individuals. We are all unequal. No one, thank heavens, is like anyone else, however much the Socialists may pretend otherwise. We believe that everyone has the right to be unequal but to us every human being is equally important.
