glenda jackson. thank you, mr speaker. it's hardly a surprise that baroness thatcher... at she made... ..after margaret thatcher's death... ..was pure glenda. everything i had been taught to regard as a vice — and i still regard them as vices — under thatcherism, was in fact, a virtue. greed. selfishness. no care for the weaker. sharp elbows. sharp knees. they were the way forward. we heard much... it's an amazing speech and kind of only really an actor could have done that speech in the way that she did it. and then to go back into acting... rumble thy bellyful! spite, fire! spout, rain! ..to take on the role of king lear, which is one of the biggest roles in shakespeare — in fact, it probably is the biggest — and at the age of 80. she really did exude power and she ruled that stage. do you find the process of acting i is getting easier as you get older? are you kidding me? every performance now is a life and death situation and that doesn't get any easier. it's like standing on the top of a very, very high diving board and you don't know if there's any water in the pool

glenda jackson very famously she was there for 23 years in the british parliament and so i've been pushingi'm not a fan of boris johnson i think if lying is a tool of politics, then we've lost it as human beings i don't think we're going to make it, and i believe - [ applause ] thank you. i think everyone in the world has the right to a fair chance in life. that's what i'm fighting for and i'll fight for it in britain. i'll fight for it in america i'll fight for it all around the world. and that's the way it's going to be. everyone having a fair chance. not a free life, but a fair chance in life and to do that, we have to be brave and curious. and that's what i think a lot of people are around the world brave, curious, going out, saying, "who are you what do you do can we learn from you? can you learn from us? that's the way forward not fearful and suspicious and i think as you get further and further right wing you go more fearful and suspicious. and we're about being brave and curious. so just try and be brave try and be curious and we'll make the world work.
