A speech by Baroness Thatcher during Rajiv Gandhi's visit in the October of 1985 iconized such humour. Her speech at a dinner hosted for then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi at 10 Downing Street in October 1985 personified it.
"I know that neither you nor your wife are strangers here; indeed it was Britain's privilege to provide the place where you met. Indeed now I come to think of it, it's about the best thing that Cambridge has done being in all other respects unable to match up to," she told Rajiv. Thatcher then moved seamlessly to more serious issue of terrorism while talking about the Suppression of Terrorism Act as an "important step forward in dealing with the problem".
She spoke about his mother, Indira Gandhi, who had been killed a year earlier, and praised how he had coped with the loss. Thatcher praised Rajiv's "act of statesmanship" while referring to his agreement with moderate Sikh leaders while pledging Britain support "to ensure that terrorism is destroyed, and those who incite it and practice it are punished". Thatcher was also a big fan of India's green revolution. "India's green revolution, which enabled you to contribute so generously towards alleviating the famine in Ethiopia, is already a byword. You are one of the world's great industrial countries," she told Rajiv.
