Under the guidance of a tutor from the National Theatre, she [Margaret Thatcher] underwent a training programme which included special humming exercises aimed at lowering the pitch level at which she formwely spoke. From tape recordings of speeches made before and after receiving tuition a marked difference can be very hear. When there are played through an electronic pitch analyser, it emerges that she achieved a reduction in pitch of 46 Hz, a figure which is almost half the average difference in pitch between male and female voices. (Atkinson, 1984, p.113)

  • It just sounds like her speech pattern changed as she aged.

  • I think she was the greatest Prime Minister since Churchill.. she got results and she didn't kowtow to people. Splendid woman!

  • I hated the old bitch, she was so hard, you could crack walnuts on her face.

    Her legacy is a Britain full of self-serving, discompassionate materialistic racists.

  • @huwwilson650

    Tell that to Thatcher (your hero ) Who played Judge, Jury and executioner..of the majority !!

  • @ZEITGEISTism People have no right to judge anyone, for anything.

  • @huwwilson650

    she was a piece of shit !! She even counted amongst her freinds that filthy pig dictator of Chile General Pinochet ......and people are judged by the company they keep !

  • As Grandad answered in the pub quiz. Q: Who was the first female prime minister? Crowd: Oh, er, ms, miss, er mrs. Grandad: MISTAKE!

  • @multiyadayadayada Me? Read a book? Pff, if I had to pass an exam to vote, maybe... but fortunately any dumb-arse like myself gets a vote by default!

  • She had a lovely, smooth yet convincing tone which was substituted by that... annoying, imposing, humming noise someone judged to be more suitable to the role she envisioned to play on politics. I believe nowadays any sensible counselor would not advise her alike, in fact, I need to believe, those kind of raw and childish assumptions about both voters and politicians have been forsaken for good, specially those concerning their relationship and the foundation of the reliability of the later.

  • @dizafatslag CUM SLUT

  • I liked her voice before better.
