Two then-and-now vids:
1) Thompson and Hugh Laurie on the Graham Norton(real name=Graham Walker) Show..
"Of Thompson, Laurie wrote: "Shaves her head. Wears baggy trousers & little round glasses. Deplores depilatories. Drinks pints. Protests regularly. "Votes Socialist Workers Party". "Funny footnote: after Graham Norton read this out during an appearance on his show one day, Thompson exclaimed, "Nothing's changed! Nothing's changed!"

Watch - jump to 18'10" for the Socialist Worker Party-voting hilarity:
2) ...and here's Emma Thompson today sans placards hob-nobbing it - "socialising" - with her high society Coronation socialites - skip to 1'50":
