00:00Someone is missing. Someone is missing. The irrepressible, unique, totally extraordinary
00:11Anne Widdecombe is missing. And we thought the only appropriate way to start this conference
00:26was to pay tribute to Anne. She was, in my opinion, the best-known female politician in Britain
00:35since Margaret Thatcher. No doubt. And Anne Widdecombe didn't need autocue. Anne Widdecombe
00:48didn't need notes. She took to the stage with the microphone and she bashed out the message.
00:55She said things not to court short-term popularity. She said things that she believed truly and
01:04deeply in her heart. There's no Anne Widdecombe speech which at the end you're left in any
01:11confusion whatsoever as to what she meant.
01:15God bless you.
01:17You
