- The Falklands Campaign was seen as a defining moment in Lady Thatcher's career and she is held in high esteem by those who served in the South Atlantic. Early this morning, a group of Veterans met up along the processional route to stand together and show their support for the former Prime Minister.

1:45 Respect to that gentleman. Well said.
Meh, not really. Speech is quite restricted in the UK, compared the USA. China does what the UK does, it has freedom of speech, except for what the government does not want you to say. Once you start arresting comedians, then I would say freedom of speech is over for that nation.
@@seannaesseannaes I mean they arrested 1 comedian which even still is too many but it isn’t as restrictive as china
1:42 This is such a good take whatever side of politics you are on.
Tell that to the left
She had balls, even if you didn't like her, you had to respect her!
Brings a tear to my eye to see these lads giving their final salute
Those veterans still looking great while wearing those berets, salute.
1:45 This guy literally fought for the freedom of the Falkland Islanders and by default fought for the protester's freedoms too. That is the calibre of soldier in the British Army. A guy who gets it and is witnessing first hand the freedoms that cost him and his mates so much back in 1982.
True words . Those kids know nothing ! Lady thatcher and these soldiers are the true heroes
i just love that we have men like this in our forces well done boys we salute you
As an Irishman RIP Thatcher
Nothing but Admiration for both Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and our Armed Forces - Thank You.
Bet they'd give anything, ANYTHING, to have her back now ...........
Sadly no brother, not every people there liked her.
@I hate antifa I hate blm Atleast she's still much more better than the other
@@Bakotcha The stupid socialists dislike her. Britain should be grateful, without Thatcher, England and Scotland would possibly be separated from each other like what happened to Yugoslavia and Britain's economy might be in difficulty now.
@@jedadriancuaton317 whoa, someone deleted their comment, sweet.
She made the right call
She was a whole different breed than all our contemporary leaders. All around Europe our leaders rather do something well received but useless than be unpopular but useful. That is what leaders are revered for, that they did what was necessary.
Great prime minister
Very powerful stuff. Heroes.
"We all have freedom of speech in this country"
The good old days
Thank you to our brave service men and women
Why did the veterans section have a police barricade? Surely they of all people could be trusted to behave?
@nhà độc tài Yang Wen Li porque son piratas, son ladrones.
@nhà độc tài Yang Wen Li I think I get what you're trying to say, have a good day mate.
Well there weren’t only veterans, it’s just that the veterans gathered in that specific area. If there is even 1 hole in the wall, the wall is compromised because the assailant can get the prime minister through there
@@leorolon1455 pelotudo!
@@matt.1911 no se a que te referis. Claro que tengo los huevos buen puesto ,idiota!. Ya los expulsamos tres veces de nuestro país ... Cuatro veces con la expulsión de Malvinas... y lo haremos de nuevo si es necesario. Hoy no lo es pero esperarémos el momento , es así.
Ustedes están en las islas porque le conviene a EEUU así como después de la 2WW tuvieron que entregarle territorios de ultramar a los EEUU para que instalen sus bases les dejaron algunas otras para aparentar que tienen poder ... Quien quiera entender que entienda.
God bless her wish she was here
Don’t agree that she was evil, but certainly cold and emotionally remote perhaps and no feeling for the average person. She had very strong principles and believed in a strong resurgent UK (read Moore’s bio). True that the Falklands should never have happened, but having succeeded Britain’s international reputation was enhanced. My abiding memories are of a broken Britain throughout the 1970’s and a largely recovered Britain by 1990, with full employment.
Hate her or love her this gal got ball.
2013 was 8 years ago ... wow
The gentlemen words is right. Just becoz veterans were fight for freedom society, that's why they can stand there for protesting their right.
Protesting at a funeral? They got crazy Westboro Baptist Church nuts there in UK too.😂😂😂
Last great PM the UK had.
GOD save Maggie
These guys are the bravest of the brave. They upheld all the finest traditions of the Paras especially Arnhem in 1944.What a pathetic and miserable collection those protesters are.Their freedom of speech came from the bravery, professionalism and sacrifice of the Paras: their behaviour sickens me and no doubt a huge percentage of an immensly grateful nation and of course the Falkland Islanders thenselves.
The real Kingsmen or I guess Queensmen
👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🥂🍺👍🙏
Couldn't stand the woman. Disgusting how she treated the miners and the working classes. I was a kid at the time but even then I could see her lack of empathy..then once the falklands campaign kicked off she was a hero.. I wonder if she would have got a state funeral had there been no falklands campaign.
You can keep wondering fella, because there was and she did.
@@eddabbs8690 still think her and her government were bastards.and I was just a kid, living in a mining community. People are too quick to forget..
There would have been a Falklands War,as Argentina was facing,serious:civil-unrest,beforehand.
If Labour were in power,then:Micheal Foot,would have still sent in military-forces,to retake the Falkland Islands.
POPE, I give all south America to Spain and Portugal. because the pope is gods representative on Earth. Argentina is the naughty child of Spain. Naughty naughty naughty lol
@Poder Vida what is the point of your comment?
gary sturge,,,,,criminal war
Is not polite steal these Islands.Please give them to Argentina.
Respect to these men for there service and bravery, but how brain washed can they be to go to war for a women who then crippled them and there families for generations to come🤣
They went to war to defend a territory that had been invaded, that's it
@@littleshep5502 not quite sure that answers my comment but ok
Because in the military:you do as you are told & you go to war:wherever you that is,regardless of what leader is in charge.
Total respect to these guys, but I can't agree that she was "a great leader"!! She was evil and in my opinion it's a pity they missed her in 1984, oh how history could have been so different
Did they look for coal miners to give their opinion.
@Philip Robinson true
They priced themselves out of the market, look it up
@@gailcrook2687 Are you saying coal miners priced themselves out of the market ? may i remind you the 84 strike that lasted eleven months three weeks was not about a wage increase or any kind of financial gain it was about Thatcher closing down coal mines, i was involved in the miners strike so i can tell you in 1984 a coal miners wage was well below that of a teacher fireman or a member of Thatcher's private army the police force, you flippantly say "they priced themselves out of the market", figures are always open to manipulation it all depends who is hired to do the accounting and if you relied upon Thatcher's propaganda machine the BBC then she could justify mine closures because they were running at a loss, i will give you same advice you gave me you look it up but this time look into the archives of the NUM if you do a different picture of what really happened will appear.
@@PatrickKelly-lz3pv look at the other replies, Labour closed more pits than the Tories, the figures are there. Who in their right mind wants Black Lung disease , coal will be a thing of the past one day, green energy, solar and wind are the way forward. All my uncle's were miners, turned to different employment and owned their own houses, it wasn't all bad news, they were glad to be out of it. Would you want your kid down a mine, I wouldn't, just saying. Life has moved on
@@gailcrook2687 You are right Gail Labour did close more mines than Thatcher ever did the difference is Labour only closed mines that were no longer profitable Thatcher closed profitable coal mines out of spite because her Pedophile predecessor Ted Heath allowed the miners to win a previous strike, life has moved on and in the areas where coal mining was the main source of employment it has become worse, feckless young unemployable people walk the same streets their hard working parents and grandparents walked they have no employment because Thatcher made sure there was no work to look for such was her hatred towards the NUM and its members. Stay safe.
I hate Thatcher, she risked the reputation of Great Britain in order to save her political future, she was saved by the heroism of the British military.
Did you meet her?
She risked the reputation of Britain? What?
She took back British territory, that was wrongfully invaded by the Argentinians... NOT taking it back would've done worse for Britains reputation than trying to and failing.
She had absolute confidence in the British forces, rightfully so, and who's to say it was "In order to save her political future"? It may have saved her political future, but you have no way of conclusively knowing that was the REASON she went to war.
@@british1139 British territory you mean like the Isle of Man or the Isle of White islands with in paddling distance of the British Isles The Falklands were and are populated by folks who have never set foot foot on any part of Britain, Thatcher was about to be booted out of power and much like the military leaderes of Argentina she used her armed forces to bolster her popularity the difference was she controlled the best army navy and airforce the world has ever seen, come to the North East of England come see what Thatcher did to that part of the island all because of her ego, she is hated there.
@@PatrickKelly-lz3pv don’t know where to start really but suffice to say you come across as extremely feeble minded Patrick.
@@british1139 If the Argentinians had just a couple more missiles the outcome of that war might have been different that is the risk the old witch took
Las malvinas son argentinas !!!! No picnic. Bajas argentinas 649 bajas inglesas escocesas irlandesas nepalesas etc mas de 1300. Si no los apoyaba EEUU y la OTAN ahora no estarían festejando nada. Se comieron linda paliza !!!!!!! Viva mi patria viva argentina Volveremos !!!!!!🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Argentinian fascists got their asses kicked...hang your heads in shame Argentina.

walter sau actually civilised people do communicate in English.
So Daddy Yankee caused the British victory? Put aside the fact that British soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen travelled 7000 nautical miles, landed half as many men as the Argentine garrison and yet won the war. Let's focus on the fact that the Argentine government got some from Daddy Yankee as well. How did they use that assistance? They built a brutal dictatorship that killed tens of thousands of it's own citizens. They built an armed forces that was good only at torturing and killing their own. And that's why Argentina lost, because fighting a war was never part of their army's or navy's mission.
