Great political speeches in recent times (1980+)
Discussion
The best ones I ever heard were when I was young. I remember as a teen in the 60s watching Jeremy Thorpe (obviously before all the scandal) rousing onlookers and tons of hecklers where I lived. Similar with Sir Gerald Nabarro (Jimmy Edwards the posh version) - was interesting to me how people reacted to them. Heckling was common then.
Post 1980, can't think of any that stand out. They've all become so f disingenuous.
Hang on, no. This speech 3 days ago.

One of my favourite wind up speeches. Hague just having a ball: highlight here. David Milliband pissing himself.
