We haven't fallen, keep the faith. The Tories dragged us down with them. I remember so many families struggling to pay th horrible poll tax. Many Communities drastically deteriorated. Thatcher said herself here, people told her We didn't vote for you !. it's happening again now. General Election repeatedly denied by the PM., The cost of living, of life, has increased so much, the UK is facing a National Shutdown. And after just barely surviving Covid Lockdown where so many Families, Businesses, our NthS, and more, lost so much, as Downing Street Tories secretly partied, we still are, being repeatedly knocked down, but fallen ? No. NEVER!! The United. Kingdom is NOT The Tory Kingdom..🇬🇧🏴💔
8:07 The Interview is about nothing! Thousands of words and nothing has been said. All I know her party talks French. And all dressed in blue! No wonder our Queen could not stand her. My little self from Switzerland 🇨🇭prefers Red and Yellow in dress codes, while working. The funeral of our Queen made that christal clear and after we passed we are certainly not dead, but even more powerful because we can over cloak. Queen Elizabeth II, my Queen. The female movement is now Universal, no more Global or Fahrwangen only in Switzerland 🇨🇭. Our country only came into existence because we kicked the Roman Catholic Church out of our system in 1291. The evidences of that movement towards Monarchy is still in existence. Unfortunately Napoleon came back into the pictures, that brought us a lot of blue and black and white into the energy field again, which worked out for us in the collective until the EU was born.
Shes the emobodiment of a fanatic. Cant change her mind. Wont change the subject. If she was muslim she would be crucified by the bigots today. And that's a good thing.
@@guillaumerusengo9371 In what way would you state she is not dignified? Be intersting to know with the kind of politicians we have today in the Tories, Labour, SNP.
1. You dont know the meaning of the word tragic. 2. We havent become backward in any regard except to say some people reserve unto themselves the right to be bigots in a way they havent for many years. Simple politeness seems alien to these people. Your beliefs arent entitled to respect. Especially if you are a racist homophobic bigot.
I'm assuming you are from the USA. Here in lilol UK we've a history of debating. In a chamber called "The House of Commons" Where people have lead from the front. Your country hasn't produced such great orators. Although I'll concede, there'll be one or two in the mix. Thank You for your recognition of Mrs Thatcher. Here; altho' she's just been shown the door. She had the grace to say, that Dennis Skinner was a marvellous parliamentarian. Even though he gave her a terrible time; from the opposition left wing benches. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇲
@@steffanhoffmann8937 you're absolutely right that I'm an American. However, I wish I had the chance to live in the UK, as I adore all aspects of the rich history and culture, something I feel we lack here in the US. I have finally made plans to visit London next year, and I simply cannot wait. I am a big fan of history, particularly on the English, French and Spanish side, especially from the 1400s thru the early 1900s. I'll be visiting Heaver Castle, Westminster, the Tower and Hampton Court!
I disagree with everything she stood for, but imagine a UK politician talking like that now. It could never happen, because they don't believe in anything except power for its own sake.
Your UA-cam name, suggests you were told this by your elders. An area of the country that detested her. However voted for the champagne socialist; Derek Hatton. He was the problem up there; not her. She put Michael Heseltine in charge of restructuring; and yet he was a huge critical opponent of hers within the Tory party. The result was a better Docklands, more hi-tech jobs; and the beautiful Liverpool Garden Festival. Hatton was jealous of course. Btw your elders will never agree with me....
@@steffanhoffmann8937 I get it, there's issues where she didn't have fans, however the overall percentage of people did like her, and have strong reasons for that
An excluding Britain. She was not the PM for the whole nation.The ONLY PM in British living memory that had protests at their funeral. An outpouring of disgust and hate. That says it all. "Ding Dong, the witch is dead"
An ideological driven nut job who loved apartheid and hated Europe, driving whole communities into a forever disenfranchisement. What I can't say, was she genuine about describing the Nations economy like a household's budget or just a cynical appeal to the rubes who voted for her. Still she wasn't a kleptocrat like the current set of tories.
She was far from perfect, but she was absolutely straightforward and head and shoulders above any of her contemporary and any current politicians; what a woman, what a patriot. Let us hope that we see her like again.

Some folks liked her. Some didn't. I wonder where you stand 😊 Yup. If only you had Jeremy Corbyn or comrade Putin in charge, how wonderful life would be. For you. You sad little article.
@@HestanIslandLad What is the need to make derogatory comments as if by doing so adds to the discussion. Then there is the "whatabouts" that have NO significance. Thatcher laid the groundwork for Britain's current deep F.....g hole and getting deeper. How did the brits get there, people like you who vote.
She was drunk on her own power and could never imagine her own Party would back stab her. They can not replace her because she went for radical change, laid the path of social and economic destruction and there is nothing left for a tired Tory party but to do but to pull the tomb door back over the tomb. That is today's Britain.
госпожа Тэтчер так и не овладела дипломатическим искусством терпеть идиотов и дураков с улыбкой на устах . Но она обладала сильной волей, которая не давала её привести в замешательство, а напротив в большой политике она наносила молниеносный обезоруживающий удар ради своей страны и её жителей. Светлая память.
I disagreed with Mrs Thatcher on a lot of things, but always had a somewhat grudging respect for her. I will say this, agree with her or not, I would take her over the current crop of utter lightweights and non entities that fill the house of commons today.
A true leader???? Poppycock! She sheds tears? She destroyed Britain’s manufacturing industry and her policies led to mass unemployment... 5.5 million unemployed. She increased interest rates and raised VAT from 8% to 15%. These measures hit export manufacturing incredibly hard. 115 Pits were closed almost half a million lost their jobs. Over 2 million manufacturing jobs had been lost in the 1979-81 recession and swathes of industry had been decimated, never to recover. After the recession in 1983, manufacturing output was 30% lower than 1978 levels, reducing the manufacturing base so much that the balance of payments in manufactured goods was in deficit - and has been there ever since. The Poll Tax and the CSA caused the record number of suicides in the UK ever. There were more riots in the UK than ever experienced before or after under Thatcher. And she sheds tears? What about the millions of the families lives that were ruined through her policies, I bet they cried a lot too - because of Thatcher. Statistically, the worst Prime Minister we have ever had.
Because they don't need to. Thatcher's government set the scene for almost every problem we face today started the spiralling authoritarian-right movement that's taken-over our politics. Just look at how it's become so safe for Labour to win that they've just jettisoned all of the lefties in their party. There's no more 'old Labour' for competition and there hasn't been for decades. It's just Tories and irrelevant parties left.
Holy crap. Didn't see this when it aired. For me she was PM from the age of 9 to 20. Here I am at 53 and I am transfixed to see her weep. Thought the only time she did that was on the steps when she left.
You must understand that even when she despised her own sex she NEVER imagined she would be taken down by men. She reacted just like a woman and THAT was the first time she was a woman. Pity it came too late and for the wrong reason, ripping away her power.
Her voice still sends shivers of horror down my spine. Like a Slitheran house captain. The ONLY PM in British living memory that had protests at their funeral. An outpouring of disgust and hate. That says it all. "Ding Dong, the witch is dead"
Yes, she believed in invading, looting and colonising other countries, she believed in British white superiority and exceptionalism, she believed homosexuality was a sin, she supported apartheid in South Africa, she believed in selling off public housing and leaving the homeless to fend for themselves, she believed in smashing unions to strip workers of their power, and she believed in cutting social welfare for the disabled and elderly while telling the poor to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. What 'amazing' beliefs to stand for.
I listened to this clip without watching it which for me personally can bring a difference to a conversation such as this. His questions searching for those deep emotions surrounding her leaving , searching for the real her. She told it how it was. She was hardworking, diligent and a great orator. Decades later many in politics could learn from her. She was divisive it has been said, perhaps? A trailblazer? Oh very much so.
I saw your comment only a minute into watching this. As such, I'm taking your advice to listen first and then watch and listen. Thanks for sharing your thought process on what you did and, more importantly, why you did it that way.
She was the only one brave enough to take the tough decisions to get the country back on its feet after decades of socialist decline. I lived through the 70s and the 80s and under Thatcher our hard working, working class council estate family was much better off. Being able to buy our own home (the first in our family EVER to do so) was transformative and the effects on our confidence and aspiration as a family cannot be underestimated
@@mogznwaz Well...if you are not so concerned about 'material' things...I have heard a lot of working class people from the same era express pleasure about moving into the new 'social housing' flats from the old slums in the 50's and 60's...under the Labour / Conservative 'consensus'...and a lot report that their younger days in the seventies, despite 3 day weeks, were still good (and cheap!) times to live through...just so you know this woman's triggering of emphasis on the 'supply side' of the finance chain and allowing single investors and hedge funds to better 'game' the market because of de-regulation has made all normal people worse off in the long one...as well as the neo-liberal successful attempt to 'freeze' wages for 90% of people to control inflation for the very top, so they get max value, and encourage an overreliance on credit in the populace at large ; also...essentially, your council house discount was a calculated bribe by the conservatives...and there has been hardly any new housing stock since then financed in a proper way by Government, or the private sector (although no surprise there) so we now have a housing crisis...started by this woman's 'narrow' policies...and whilst I am glad to hear that this worked for your family...there will be no more families like yours now...nowadays they will just have to accept sub-standard because they were born too late for the party...also, a lot of people who did buy their council homes...now they are older...have to sell them back again to even get the care they need...as the social care system is broken because of the neo-liberal dreck this woman started! So, always better to see the big picture than the purely personal one I think.
@@BelatedCommiseration We are all better off since the 70s. Poverty is a relative term. What’s considered poverty now would have been normal back then. The biggest issues we have had since then are globalisation (concentrating more wealth into fewer hands on a global scale) and mass immigration (and this is bad for a number of reasons). That’s at the root of all today’s problems but people like you think both those things are fantastic. They’re not. When I see social commentators on tv bleating about ‘poverty’ they are talking about 10 Romanians or Somalians crammed in a room in London, some of them probably here illegally, with cultural practices producing stay at home mums with loads of kids, some severely disabled due to consanguinous marriages, the fathers working cash in hand for family businesses and paying no tax. Not to mention ‘students’ who bring their whole families then never go home when their ‘studies’ are finished. I don’t feel sorry for them at all - THEY SHOULDN’T BE HERE.
To think that Boris Johnson needed the greatest number of resignations amongst his own ministers in British history for him to go, is quite sobering for the modern day.
The thing that really disappointed me on Boris (apart from everything else...) This woman worked 18 hours a day for 11 years. I've never heard she was taking holidays (maybe someone can clarify) and if she did, it was for a few brief days. 11 years, 18 hours day, in the most high pressured job there is. And then comes Boris, the country in absolute turmoil, 2 years of pandemic, war in Ukraine, PM to be elected.... and he goes on holidays abroad, with a big group of friends, partying it like he has a 9-5 job somewhere and that's his 'summer break'. I was somewhat a fan of his... but that disdain for the job and country... it made me embarrassed for him.
@@sk-2106 She had a lot to destroy and given her single mindedness, Boris could never imagine what that is like. However, even if alive or someone like her, her policies and Brexit ( which she would have agreed to, as hater of Europe) have finished Britain off.
I have mixed views on this great lady. But seeing her speak you realise the country has nothing like this anymore. D team leadership today compared to Margaret.
The Tories gave up on Thatcher-like characters because of what she put in place and it has failed not just in Britain but America under Reagan, her GOOD friend. Another well presented showman. Oh, they miss him so much there like you. Instead now they can only appeal to the LOWEST common denominator. A voting public FULL of fear and hate.
I, being from a mining family and having my direct life affected by Thatcher's politics, am strangely warming to her now i'm older. We were always told that she was public enemy number one, and to hate her at all costs, but now seeing how much of a damn good leader she was, and uncompromising , she'd have been our salvation during brexit and would have left this country with it's chin held high. I really wish we had a leader like her again, one who would fight for the country even if it meant making hard choices. i must admit that when i heard that she's died, I cheered and raised a glass to her demise. I totally take that back now
Millions obviously didn't agree she was the finest, or she wouldn't have had to resign. Agree she had a platform though: rampant capitalist exploitation and misery for the majority.
You may agree or not with late Mrs. T. But we got to admit that she stood by her ideas and believe was the best for the country. Nowadays politics seem to be a parody of what govern a country should be.
By genuine do you mean interrupting every question and just spewing whatever comes to mind, related or not to the subject at hand? Diarrhea of the mouth isn't very becoming. Her dementia was showing at this point.
@@kjpmi I lived through the Thatcher years and I am telling you she transformed the country from a strike ridden hell hole in 1979 to a place of optimism by 1987
She loved her country, loved her job and did it to push us forward as a nation, not to jump on a gravy train elsewhere. The complete opposite of a career politician. I don’t agree with everything she stood for but this country needs someone like her in charge right now.
Love her or hate her, she had a plan and a vision, she was open about it, she executed what she said and she answered every question asked with her true opinion on any topic. Now they all say soundbites, don't answer a single question and have absolutely no plan at all. Tories need to go. They're awful. But Labour are even worse these days. There's just nowhere to go.
You must be a Republican. As an Australian we had to face the neoliberalism she and Reagan unleashed upon the World and now ALL suffer the terrible cost of that. An evil anti community ideology. Now, Brexit her final wish has doomed Britain and you have TRUMP for bad reasons. We truly look forward to the conclusion of that in the US.
The ONLY PM in British living memory that had protests at their funeral. An outpouring of disgust and hate. That says it all. "Ding Dong, the witch is dead"
They are all totally infected with Socialism - thee most evil ideology in Earth history. ALL the universities since the 1990s changed from being academic into brainwashing Marxist indoctrination centres with Oxbridge and the other red bricks being especially bad - they just churn out activists not intellectuals, programmed to be triggered and respond like robots without any critical thinking ability. Worse most people of earlier generations who thought it was cool to wear che T shirts and be a rebel so support Socialism (without realising they were supporting evil, genocide, tyranny and elites that want to use and abuse the poor) would realise how misguided and idiotic they were once they got into the real world and started working. Trying to sort out your own life - career and problems then helping family, friends and community gives most people a reality check on their ego telling them they can build a Communist utopia and solve all the problems of the World. So in the past politicians would have had some life experience and work experiences to knock some sense into them. Politicians nowadays are career politicians - straight out of Oxbridge or some radical uni into an activist role in unions, media or parliament and then try to become an MP - result no common sense, no life experiences and out of touch with reality. Peter Hitchens often comments in his interviews how he'll hear a supposed Tory or conservative from Millenials to Gen Z say things which are actually Marxist without even realising it! That's now fallen and corrupted the West and our politicians have become.
My God - regardless of your politics you have to respect her upfront ness - she answers every question - not passively aggressively manipulating and closing down dialogue as does NZ pm adern for example. RIP Mrs Thatcher
@@MJ-qb5ph it's true, she crushed workers and privatised Britain's assets and changed the working class into just a number to make profits for the richer in society... She RUINED WHOLE area's of working class Britain STARTED the beginning of a narcissist revolution of IM better I'm greedy and I want more society. She basically paved the way for the state of Britain now of big corporations and the poor being poorer and an ever growing super rich. Anyone who says otherwise is one of the people it benefitted and who have very little empathy. Her reign also saw poorer areas have fewer resources such as decent schools. Britain COMPLETELY changed because of her and how she aligned herself with America who as we know is heavy into corporate greed super rich and elitism whilst having an underclass of those who are homeless or simply poor and can't even get healthcare
@@MJ-qb5ph depends on who you are. lefties hate her, right wing people call her “mummy” they like her very much. Controversial figure as she shut down British industry such as Coal Mines in Scotland leaving loads jobless. She lost power due to attempting to introduce a “poll tax” which would mean everyone would pay a set amount of tax each.
She was one of Great Britain's most consequential prime minister. Thatcher sought to bring back the values of self reliance, respect, and determination. Sadly for the U.K. Thatcher was undermined by elites who have done such damage to the country. Amazing woman.
Good grief I despised this woman as an opinionated 6th former who cheered at her resignation, but I am absolutely awed by her integrity, her professionalism, resilience and grit. History may end up being a great deal kinder to this trail blazing woman in the light of the carnage of the last 12 years.
"awed by her integrity, her professionalism, resilience and grit" Wait until you find-out about the colliers who she made jobless while refusing any infrastructure to support them. You'll find those traits so much more in those folk than in that wrinkled bag of privileged-living. "the carnage of the last 12 years" That she set in motion.
Same here, I was 4 years old when she came to power and 16 when she left. It's only looking back as you get older that you can look at things with more mature eyes. She is head and shoulders above anyone we have now, on both sides.of the house.
@Capybara Capybara the greatest thing Mrs Thatcher did was close the mines and smash the unions. The miners made themselves jobless through theirs and their masters outlandish demands and greed. She really turned this Country around for the better. You should be thanking her.
@@jean-lucpicard5510 I'm not sure I'd call you a lefty if you prefer Thatcher over those. She annihilated any sense of spirit we had as a nation, any sense of industry, any sense of belonging and community. And all to favour big business...
I’ll say this I’ve always voted Labour and i grew up in poverty when she was in power, and i remember when she died in 2013 and people i knew celebrated her death. I didn’t celebrate her death but i had this feeling of deep anger and resentment towards her. She is the most controversial PM ever.
I don't understand you. She instigated the 30+ years of neoliberalism f..k up. Truss "lettuce head" merely invoked her to the horror of the City financiers.
Fair enough, good to respect people you don't agree with. But Truss and Blair (OK not popular now with good reason) even Cameron I'd argue are similar or successors to Thatcher. For me Thatcher is not a proper tory, she's centre-right
I understand your love Of the Dark Queen and hatred of the Tories now, especially Liz Truss. But she put the Tory minions on this path of destruction decades ago. Even when Truss tried to raise her with Thatcher's own words NOTHING. Thatcher hated the Europeans and loved apartheid. Despised the poor and loved the rich, no one could match (or even really wanted to) her evil. ,So what does that make you. She KNEW your type. She understood the inherent racism of the majority. To this day goose bumps of horror still rise when I hear her soft, modulated voice in clips. If a snake could speak, that would be the exact sound. So, decades of Tory rule. A Labour Party not worth speaking about so terrified of the darkness she unleashed in people like you and you are ALL f...ed. Tiny little Islands with 64+ or - million with no natural resources to speak off. A crumbling education system and widening wealth gap.
Is that because Liz parroted her words? The ONLY PM in British living memory that had protests at their funeral. An outpouring of disgust and hate. That says it all. "Ding Dong, the witch is dead"
You have to understand that the ideology that makes the present lot so toxic really got going with Thatcherism. She was so nieve when she said, “Do not impute to money the faults of human nature.” And yet if it was poor miners wanting a fair deal they were seen as the ones who are greedy. She wanted freedom for the wealthy. Not for the common man.
OMG.😳 Not many deceased PMs could boast that at their funeral they sang "DING DONG the WITCH is DEAD" In fact NONE in history were so hoorayed at their death. She was certainly "infectious" like Covid.
You are talking about Margaret Thatcher? There was only one thing that best describes her policies, Neo-Liberalism. Unfettered capitalism as it was in the 19th Century. You know, the century of child exploitation, slavery and disparity of wealth that Dickens wrote about. She turned the clock back, mercilessly. The Poll Tax would have finished her and the Tories but unfortunately they stabbed her in the back. To this day they only whisper about it behind closed doors, how close they came to revolution.
I would never vote conservative but I feel like it wouldn't have been as straight forward a decision back when politicians actually were passionate about politics.
Oh dear, you really haven't experienced the hardship she caused and probably never will. However, I hope you do as a life lesson. No one learns better when their skin is in the game. She did, drunk on her power and against all advice tried to introduce a Poll Tax. She for the first time felt helpless, like the many whole communities she impoverished, as she was stabbed in the back by her own Party.
@@michael1345 I didn’t see Labour take away the Poll Tax, did you? The Poll Tax paid for the council’s spending, accounting for the many livelihoods of bin men and council officials and of course other expenses.
@@-Haiden That was because the notion of it was changed by John Major who replaced the Community Charge with the Council Tax, similar to the rating system that preceded the Community Charge. The main differences were that it was levied on capital value rather than notional rental value of a property, and that it had a 25% discount for single-occupancy dwellings To this day, the Tories get a shiver if Thatcher's regressive tax is even mentioned. Thatcher's POLL TAX was regressive. Do I need to explain what a regressive tax is?
Great interview. She grabbed the reigns of leadership with both hands and articulate points quite well. We could use similarly skilled people like that today here in the US.
Oh my goodness! Come the moment, come the woman! Where anywhere is their any leader from any party of the caliber of this woman. She was fabulously able to stick to her guns because she was inatley intelligent and she wanted the best fir the country
Yes it seemed she had two separate personas. I have found that out about most Conservatives. Happily make policies that will destroy whole communities or vote for same but hold an individuals hand who is suffering, even if said policies brought that suffering on. I would also like to say, progressives are good at positive societal change but often not good at showing empathy at the individual level. I include myself in the later. Of course there is a crossover.
Sadly we wont see politicians like this any more love or loath her she was a genuine person and stood by her words , unlike today's politicians . Can you imagine how she would deal with starmer 😂😂😂 she would wipe the floor with him!
No she was awful as her comments on the poll tax reveal, that tax nearly wrecked me as a low income worker. Thatcher and the Tories rode on the coat-tails of the Falklands victory from 1982 onwards, a victory purchased with the blood of British and Argentinian soldiers.
She was a viscous, demonic cow. Your comment only shows that you must’ve been from comfortable middle class uk in the 80s. She pulled an entire industry out from underneath working families with zero safety net. She despised anyone who was poor and she made sure she created poverty.
@Grassy Sands I urge you to peruse the traits and behaviours that make up the profile of a psychopath. With your answer, you fit the bill. As you are from an entitled background and can never understand poverty or real life, I will wish you all you deserve and hope that whatever divine entity governs our existence sees that you reap precisely that which you sow. Aren’t you happily free from the trauma that was 1980s Thatcherite britain.
@@Tashygay We do, we have had a generation of spineless politicians with no conviction or beliefs - we need a person like her to lead our country out of the mire.
Disraeli is mostly responsible for all the deaths from the Potato Famine in Ireland because he would not repeal the Corn Laws. I suppose in this regard, Thatcher is like Disraeli in that she is a flawed leader and we should be most cautious about putting them on a pedestal because if one looks closely one will see a rotten pedestal.
@@poundshopcicero3089 You clearly have no ability to analyse the incredible gains she made for the entire British people.

You really don't understand what she did. The long term damage advocating Neo-Liberalism but she did learn two lessons Drunk on power she was made to feel helpless as any in the Community as her Party stabbed her in the back. Tears followed, a thing she despised about women. Yet another lesson.🙂 Why did her Party unceremoniously remove her. Because she was about to introduce a Poll Tax.
That whispering slow voice and intense stare still sends shivers down my spine after all these years. Like a snake, ready to strike. She could have been head of the Slytherin School.
This reminds me of actress Noele Gordon, she wasn't just an actress, and soap star, she was on the board of ATV and contributed in a big way to getting ATV off the ground, she was very much in a world that was known as 'very much a man's world'. She worked for ATV for 26 years, including 17 of those in 'Crossroads', love the soap or hate it, she pulled in 15 plus million viewers, then in 1981 with no explanation she was told in a letter 'all good things come to an end'. Whether you liked Margaret Thatcher or not, and agreed or disagreed with her decisions, she was also in that 'very much a man's world'. One thing for sure, like her or dislike her, we have nothing like her now. Never known it like it is now, it's a mess to say the least. At least she always remained professional and had such great dignity. I remember a friend of mine once wrote to Margaret Thatcher, and he received the most beautiful letter back from her and a signed photograph.
Where are the politicians like this woman. Right or wrong she was the strongest most focused leader since Churchill. Love or hate her she was Britain at its best.
Clement Atlee was the best pm after Churchill, not thatcher who sold everything off to the highest bidder and still created debt unemployment low wages huge bulls and lack of housing began with her. Churchill saved the nation Attlee started the rebuild and others saw us trading more globally particularly with Europe. Thatcher followed Reagan and threw the uk under a bus. Why do you think the likes of bp can now make astronomical profits and bills are so high or why there aren't council houses or the schools and hospitals are falling down. She started all this and then every subsequent tory government has continued the rot and every labour government is held to far higher standards and murdoch media rules the propoganda machine
“There was some ‘controversy’ about the ‘community charge’”. By ‘controversy’ she is referring to the biggest riot in London since 1889! This was the problem: she lived in a self made bubble, immune (so she believed) from the consequences of criticism. She was also a complete liar. “We don’t negotiate with terrorists”. Meanwhile her government, with her full knowledge and approval, was ‘negotiating’ with the IRA in an attempt to end the conflict in Northern Ireland. John Major had the measure of her: “She was mad…and loopy”.
Before I say anything, I hate the tories but that doesn’t mean one cant respect a statesman/woman. She was her party’s leader and an upfront politician. Watch from 10:23 onwards until 11:42, she is at her most vulnerable and she recoups it back- thats dignity. But that phrase said so quietly, “Yes, but I carried on”, hah… 10:55… makes you pause.

Thatcher was so deeply arrogant, divisive and unpopular that her own party ousted her. It was completely impossible for her to continue as Prime Minister.
Frankly the times were modernising and the UK couldn’t handle that it wasn’t the 1950’s anymore. She slashed a lot of things and privatized a lot of services which ran into the ground but…she did get people to buy to their council flats and a zillion other things that got people on all sorts of socioeconomic ladders that just would not had happened with out those policies. Every leader becomes shrill in the end. She could do wonders with Britain today. Alas she is long gone. Many said she wrecked the country. Indeed but that kind of country was a postwar scene that was inevitably drying anyway. Her cabinet pretended, lied and shafted her and rather knifed her. I cry every time I see her fight and in the house arguments. Such power and total commitment. A brilliantly talented Briton and human being. And at times wonderfully decisive. They (her cabinet) were total wimps.
@@lastp6905 It was happening all over the Western World. The US has the rust belts, Australia the same. The same in France and Germany too. Thatcher freed the UK from socialism. Today, we need to do the same all over again.
Thatcher was the start of what we are currently in. People are only out for their own self. The statement 'There is no such thing as Society' sent shockwaves across the UK and to this day still stands. Bringing about greed and that want more attitude. I always agree and love good honest business and pursuing goals and in turn having others along with you so everyone can prosper, especially those who try and need support. But the sheer attitude to have little to no control of businesses, low laws to none on credit, society, wealthy individuals to not just get wealthy but extremely wealthy and prosper at the mercy of others. The gap between Rich and Poor grows and is continuing to this day and not just in the UK, globally. We are paying the price hugely for the measures she implemented at the time of her governance. Electricity, Gas even water a service and basic human right are charged to us at extortionate prices. This woman has a lot to answer for in our country today.
Are you joking? Every issue we're facing in the UK right now links back to her ushering in the scam of the neoliberal economic model. Thatcherism ruined this country. I'll see her in hell.
A pity she was stabbed in the back by her own Party. A Poll Tax would have woken up the British people and the consequences of Neo Liberalism a lot earlier. Now it's 69+ million people who have just left the 3rd biggest economy in the World. She was a natural Brexiter, as she loathed Europe. How is that all going for you?
She boo hooooed in the end and she despised other women when they showed that quality. She finally felt some of the helplessness she caused to whole communities when they were made to feel that pain. It must have come as a great shock having stripped of her power by her own Party, helpless.
She is the first PM who i can remember. She remains the only true PM during my lifetime. All who followed were mere hollowed out personas compared to her. She wanted the best for people worldwide and saw public service as the highest possible calling. A womam of virtue, valour and industrousness rarely to be found.
It was all about privatisation and still is, it just has made everything more expensive. If people knew the true cost of privatising rail which is still subsidised and what we might have had today if they'd just invested in it. A low cost efficient mode of transport would have created wealth. The land attached to the sale was worth more than what was paid, it was a huge carve up of a national asset. Not to mention gas, electricity, education and water.
I never liked Margaret thatcher BUT I do see that She was a passionate believer in all She said and did. She clearly loved both Her job and Her country.
Heseltine caused it all. And even before during after Brexit and even now he is still a massive thorn on Tory’s backside. He won’t be missed when it’s all over for him.
I’d give anything for her to be on the bridge at the moment. Love or hate, she was true to her beliefs, honest and thing that doesn’t exist in politics now, transparent.
I never liked her, but she didn't piss about. She had more backbone in one nail than any tory PM since. Love or loathe her, you can't argue with that...
The truth always paves the path in the right direction, whether or not one doesn’t realise it at that moment, truth never fails. As they say all will work out for the better in the end.
She wanted the best for this country. Very different from the little weasels that we’ve seen in recent years. Love or hate her policies she was a Great leader.

Extraordinary to see such open discussion. How far we have fallen!
Politicians are ALWAYS like that reflecting on their swansong.
We haven't fallen, keep the faith. The Tories dragged us down with them. I remember so many families struggling to pay th horrible poll tax. Many Communities drastically deteriorated. Thatcher said herself here, people told her We didn't vote for you !. it's happening again now. General Election repeatedly denied by the PM., The cost of living, of life, has increased so much, the UK is facing a National Shutdown. And after just barely surviving Covid Lockdown where so many Families, Businesses, our NthS, and more, lost so much, as Downing Street Tories secretly partied, we still are, being repeatedly knocked down, but fallen ? No. NEVER!! The United. Kingdom is NOT The Tory Kingdom..🇬🇧🏴💔
Sickening
8:07 The Interview is about nothing! Thousands of words and nothing has been said. All I know her party talks French. And all dressed in blue! No wonder our Queen could not stand her. My little self from Switzerland 🇨🇭prefers Red and Yellow in dress codes, while working. The funeral of our Queen made that christal clear and after we passed we are certainly not dead, but even more powerful because we can over cloak. Queen Elizabeth II, my Queen. The female movement is now Universal, no more Global or Fahrwangen only in Switzerland 🇨🇭. Our country only came into existence because we kicked the Roman Catholic Church out of our system in 1291. The evidences of that movement towards Monarchy is still in existence. Unfortunately Napoleon came back into the pictures, that brought us a lot of blue and black and white into the energy field again, which worked out for us in the collective until the EU was born.
Compare her with Ms Liss - ex PM. That is a big drawdown in standards.

An ideological driven nut job who loved apartheid and hated Europe, driving whole communities into a forever disenfranchisement. What I can't say, was she genuine about describing the Nations economy like a household's budget or just a cynical appeal to the rubes who voted for her. Still she wasn't a kleptocrat like the current set of tories.
She was far from perfect, but she was absolutely straightforward and head and shoulders above any of her contemporary and any current politicians; what a woman, what a patriot. Let us hope that we see her like again.

@@HestanIslandLad What is the need to make derogatory comments as if by doing so adds to the discussion. Then there is the "whatabouts" that have NO significance. Thatcher laid the groundwork for Britain's current deep F.....g hole and getting deeper. How did the brits get there, people like you who vote.
It's very impressive to see someone like her, with that iron personality, have a breakdown in public television. Such a deeply moment
She was truly devastated...no one has ever been able to replace her .
Thank god and I'm an atheist. Ding dong, the witch is dead.
Thank god. What a demonic entity she was. Absolutely ruined this country
Nobody has ever come close.
She was drunk on her own power and could never imagine her own Party would back stab her. They can not replace her because she went for radical change, laid the path of social and economic destruction and there is nothing left for a tired Tory party but to do but to pull the tomb door back over the tomb. That is today's Britain.
госпожа Тэтчер так и не овладела дипломатическим искусством терпеть идиотов и дураков с улыбкой на устах . Но она обладала сильной волей, которая не давала её привести в замешательство, а напротив в большой политике она наносила молниеносный обезоруживающий удар ради своей страны и её жителей. Светлая память.
Thanks!
She was also a marvelous extemporaneous orator. She expresses herself here in the most poetic way, without benefit of a speech writer or teleprompter.
oh hush....😂
I disagreed with Mrs Thatcher on a lot of things, but always had a somewhat grudging respect for her. I will say this, agree with her or not, I would take her over the current crop of utter lightweights and non entities that fill the house of commons today.
She left the light weights nothing else to f..k up. Britain has been on a slowly sinking ship since.
Our current politicians fail to match her professionalism, whether her views were correct or not. A true leader.
You are sick , she was a monster
A true leader???? Poppycock! She sheds tears? She destroyed Britain’s manufacturing industry and her policies led to mass unemployment... 5.5 million unemployed. She increased interest rates and raised VAT from 8% to 15%. These measures hit export manufacturing incredibly hard. 115 Pits were closed almost half a million lost their jobs.
Over 2 million manufacturing jobs had been lost in the 1979-81 recession and swathes of industry had been decimated, never to recover. After the recession in 1983, manufacturing output was 30% lower than 1978 levels, reducing the manufacturing base so much that the balance of payments in manufactured goods was in deficit - and has been there ever since.
The Poll Tax and the CSA caused the record number of suicides in the UK ever. There were more riots in the UK than ever experienced before or after under Thatcher. And she sheds tears? What about the millions of the families lives that were ruined through her policies, I bet they cried a lot too - because of Thatcher. Statistically, the worst Prime Minister we have ever had.
Because they don't need to. Thatcher's government set the scene for almost every problem we face today started the spiralling authoritarian-right movement that's taken-over our politics. Just look at how it's become so safe for Labour to win that they've just jettisoned all of the lefties in their party.
There's no more 'old Labour' for competition and there hasn't been for decades. It's just Tories and irrelevant parties left.
A true leader despite questionable views...... are you okay bro?
@@KristijanRisteski-zp7bx views don't have anything to do with leadership skills. You can be a good leader with views people don't agree with lmao
Holy crap. Didn't see this when it aired. For me she was PM from the age of 9 to 20. Here I am at 53 and I am transfixed to see her weep. Thought the only time she did that was on the steps when she left.
You must understand that even when she despised her own sex she NEVER imagined she would be taken down by men. She reacted just like a woman and THAT was the first time she was a woman. Pity it came too late and for the wrong reason, ripping away her power.
Her voice still sends shivers of horror down my spine. Like a Slitheran house captain. The ONLY PM in British living memory that had protests at their funeral. An outpouring of disgust and hate. That says it all. "Ding Dong, the witch is dead"
I remember too. I’m 57 now.
She was my PM from ages 0-9. Confused my outlook on what women were mainly.
Good ridance.
Last grown up we had in charge, like her or loath her, she 100% is a leader who stood for what she believed in.
Yes, she believed in invading, looting and colonising other countries, she believed in British white superiority and exceptionalism, she believed homosexuality was a sin, she supported apartheid in South Africa, she believed in selling off public housing and leaving the homeless to fend for themselves, she believed in smashing unions to strip workers of their power, and she believed in cutting social welfare for the disabled and elderly while telling the poor to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. What 'amazing' beliefs to stand for.
You can only imagine being interviewed of your own downfall and answering those question with such dignity. She's truly formidable
A formidable sociopath.
I listened to this clip without watching it which for me personally can bring a difference to a conversation such as this. His questions searching for those deep emotions surrounding her leaving , searching for the real her.
She told it how it was.
She was hardworking, diligent and a great orator. Decades later many in politics could learn from her. She was divisive it has been said, perhaps?
A trailblazer? Oh very much so.
I saw your comment only a minute into watching this. As such, I'm taking your advice to listen first and then watch and listen.
Thanks for sharing your thought process on what you did and, more importantly, why you did it that way.
Yeah...her & Reagan. 🤮 😈
She was the only one brave enough to take the tough decisions to get the country back on its feet after decades of socialist decline. I lived through the 70s and the 80s and under Thatcher our hard working, working class council estate family was much better off. Being able to buy our own home (the first in our family EVER to do so) was transformative and the effects on our confidence and aspiration as a family cannot be underestimated
@@mogznwaz Well...if you are not so concerned about 'material' things...I have heard a lot of working class people from the same era express pleasure about moving into the new 'social housing' flats from the old slums in the 50's and 60's...under the Labour / Conservative 'consensus'...and a lot report that their younger days in the seventies, despite 3 day weeks, were still good (and cheap!) times to live through...just so you know this woman's triggering of emphasis on the 'supply side' of the finance chain and allowing single investors and hedge funds to better 'game' the market because of de-regulation has made all normal people worse off in the long one...as well as the neo-liberal successful attempt to 'freeze' wages for 90% of people to control inflation for the very top, so they get max value, and encourage an overreliance on credit in the populace at large ; also...essentially, your council house discount was a calculated bribe by the conservatives...and there has been hardly any new housing stock since then financed in a proper way by Government, or the private sector (although no surprise there) so we now have a housing crisis...started by this woman's 'narrow' policies...and whilst I am glad to hear that this worked for your family...there will be no more families like yours now...nowadays they will just have to accept sub-standard because they were born too late for the party...also, a lot of people who did buy their council homes...now they are older...have to sell them back again to even get the care they need...as the social care system is broken because of the neo-liberal dreck this woman started! So, always better to see the big picture than the purely personal one I think.
@@BelatedCommiseration We are all better off since the 70s. Poverty is a relative term. What’s considered poverty now would have been normal back then. The biggest issues we have had since then are globalisation (concentrating more wealth into fewer hands on a global scale) and mass immigration (and this is bad for a number of reasons). That’s at the root of all today’s problems but people like you think both those things are fantastic. They’re not. When I see social commentators on tv bleating about ‘poverty’ they are talking about 10 Romanians or Somalians crammed in a room in London, some of them probably here illegally, with cultural practices producing stay at home mums with loads of kids, some severely disabled due to consanguinous marriages, the fathers working cash in hand for family businesses and paying no tax. Not to mention ‘students’ who bring their whole families then never go home when their ‘studies’ are finished. I don’t feel sorry for them at all - THEY SHOULDN’T BE HERE.
To think that Boris Johnson needed the greatest number of resignations amongst his own ministers in British history for him to go, is quite sobering for the modern day.
I'm not a huge fan of Thatcher's policies but as a politician and Prime Minister Bojo cannot hold a candle to her.
The thing that really disappointed me on Boris (apart from everything else...) This woman worked 18 hours a day for 11 years. I've never heard she was taking holidays (maybe someone can clarify) and if she did, it was for a few brief days. 11 years, 18 hours day, in the most high pressured job there is. And then comes Boris, the country in absolute turmoil, 2 years of pandemic, war in Ukraine, PM to be elected.... and he goes on holidays abroad, with a big group of friends, partying it like he has a 9-5 job somewhere and that's his 'summer break'. I was somewhat a fan of his... but that disdain for the job and country... it made me embarrassed for him.

I really wish we had a leader like her again, one who would fight for the country even if it meant making hard choices.
i must admit that when i heard that she's died, I cheered and raised a glass to her demise. I totally take that back now
She was the finest PM that the UK ever had, and the last one to actually have a political platform. Every PM since has been all about expediency.
Millions obviously didn't agree she was the finest, or she wouldn't have had to resign. Agree she had a platform though: rampant capitalist exploitation and misery for the majority.

That's... Untrue. Politicians may have held themselves better back in the day but the current Tories are only continuing her ideology on steroids.
They are all totally infected with Socialism - thee most evil ideology in Earth history. ALL the universities since the 1990s changed from being academic into brainwashing Marxist indoctrination centres with Oxbridge and the other red bricks being especially bad - they just churn out activists not intellectuals, programmed to be triggered and respond like robots without any critical thinking ability. Worse most people of earlier generations who thought it was cool to wear che T shirts and be a rebel so support Socialism (without realising they were supporting evil, genocide, tyranny and elites that want to use and abuse the poor) would realise how misguided and idiotic they were once they got into the real world and started working. Trying to sort out your own life - career and problems then helping family, friends and community gives most people a reality check on their ego telling them they can build a Communist utopia and solve all the problems of the World. So in the past politicians would have had some life experience and work experiences to knock some sense into them. Politicians nowadays are career politicians - straight out of Oxbridge or some radical uni into an activist role in unions, media or parliament and then try to become an MP - result no common sense, no life experiences and out of touch with reality.
Peter Hitchens often comments in his interviews how he'll hear a supposed Tory or conservative from Millenials to Gen Z say things which are actually Marxist without even realising it! That's now fallen and corrupted the West and our politicians have become.
Thatcher wasn’t a Conservative but very much a liberal, and they have been economically and socially Blairite liberal ever since.

@Capybara Capybara the greatest thing Mrs Thatcher did was close the mines and smash the unions. The miners made themselves jobless through theirs and their masters outlandish demands and greed. She really turned this Country around for the better. You should be thanking her.
Whether you like her or not, she was always open and to the point … I miss that
Even as a lefty. I miss her, better than Cameron, Truss Boris May and Sunak.
@@jean-lucpicard5510 I'm not sure I'd call you a lefty if you prefer Thatcher over those. She annihilated any sense of spirit we had as a nation, any sense of industry, any sense of belonging and community. And all to favour big business...
Absolutely no comparison ....
I’ll say this I’ve always voted Labour and i grew up in poverty when she was in power, and i remember when she died in 2013 and people i knew celebrated her death. I didn’t celebrate her death but i had this feeling of deep anger and resentment towards her. She is the most controversial PM ever.
I hate the tories but I have so much respect for Margret. She’d be turning in her grave on her successors… liz truss especially.
I don't understand you. She instigated the 30+ years of neoliberalism f..k up. Truss "lettuce head" merely invoked her to the horror of the City financiers.
Fair enough, good to respect people you don't agree with. But Truss and Blair (OK not popular now with good reason) even Cameron I'd argue are similar or successors to Thatcher. For me Thatcher is not a proper tory, she's centre-right
I understand your love Of the Dark Queen and hatred of the Tories now, especially Liz Truss. But she put the Tory minions on this path of destruction decades ago. Even when Truss tried to raise her with Thatcher's own words NOTHING. Thatcher hated the Europeans and loved apartheid. Despised the poor and loved the rich, no one could match (or even really wanted to) her evil. ,So what does that make you. She KNEW your type. She understood the inherent racism of the majority. To this day goose bumps of horror still rise when I hear her soft, modulated voice in clips. If a snake could speak, that would be the exact sound. So, decades of Tory rule. A Labour Party not worth speaking about so terrified of the darkness she unleashed in people like you and you are ALL f...ed. Tiny little Islands with 64+ or - million with no natural resources to speak off. A crumbling education system and widening wealth gap.
Is that because Liz parroted her words? The ONLY PM in British living memory that had protests at their funeral. An outpouring of disgust and hate. That says it all. "Ding Dong, the witch is dead"
You have to understand that the ideology that makes the present lot so toxic really got going with Thatcherism. She was so nieve when she said, “Do not impute to money the faults of human nature.” And yet if it was poor miners wanting a fair deal they were seen as the ones who are greedy. She wanted freedom for the wealthy. Not for the common man.
A lady of true integrity from start to finish.
ITN Archive: VERY MOVING!
What a woman and amazing human. Her energy for positive change is infectious as is her radiance.
OMG.😳
Not many deceased PMs could boast that at their funeral they sang "DING DONG the WITCH is DEAD" In fact NONE in history were so hoorayed at their death. She was certainly "infectious" like Covid.
You are talking about Margaret Thatcher? There was only one thing that best describes her policies, Neo-Liberalism. Unfettered capitalism as it was in the 19th Century. You know, the century of child exploitation, slavery and disparity of wealth that Dickens wrote about. She turned the clock back, mercilessly. The Poll Tax would have finished her and the Tories but unfortunately they stabbed her in the back. To this day they only whisper about it behind closed doors, how close they came to revolution.
@@michael1345 stay mad commie
I would never vote conservative but I feel like it wouldn't have been as straight forward a decision back when politicians actually were passionate about politics.
We didn't realise what we had till we lost her, a great leader.
Oh dear, you really haven't experienced the hardship she caused and probably never will. However, I hope you do as a life lesson. No one learns better when their skin is in the game. She did, drunk on her power and against all advice tried to introduce a Poll Tax. She for the first time felt helpless, like the many whole communities she impoverished, as she was stabbed in the back by her own Party.
@@michael1345 33 years on... You still pay that poll tax without a whimper. Don't like it... Did nothing about it in 33 years. 🎉
@@michael1345 I didn’t see Labour take away the Poll Tax, did you? The Poll Tax paid for the council’s spending, accounting for the many livelihoods of bin men and council officials and of course other expenses.
@@-Haiden That was because the notion of it was changed by John Major who replaced the Community Charge with the Council Tax, similar to the rating system that preceded the Community Charge. The main differences were that it was levied on capital value rather than notional rental value of a property, and that it had a 25% discount for single-occupancy dwellings To this day, the Tories get a shiver if Thatcher's regressive tax is even mentioned. Thatcher's POLL TAX was regressive. Do I need to explain what a regressive tax is?
Great interview. She grabbed the reigns of leadership with both hands and articulate points quite well. We could use similarly skilled people like that today here in the US.
You did. You had Obama.
I met Thatcher once at an embassy function in the late eighties - she was even more impressive in person than on screen.
Oh my goodness! Come the moment, come the woman! Where anywhere is their any leader from any party of the caliber of this woman. She was fabulously able to stick to her guns because she was inatley intelligent and she wanted the best fir the country
First met Margaret Thatcher at a charity do, she was surprisingly down to earth and rather funny.
Honk if Thatcher's dead.
@@ash_yt0 HONK HONK
Yes it seemed she had two separate personas. I have found that out about most Conservatives. Happily make policies that will destroy whole communities or vote for same but hold an individuals hand who is suffering, even if said policies brought that suffering on. I would also like to say, progressives are good at positive societal change but often not good at showing empathy at the individual level. I include myself in the later. Of course there is a crossover.
An amazing lady. A woman of principle. The best Prime Minister in my lifetime so far.
And that's the best you're ever going to get.
She was an amazing woman and amazing leader. Sadly I don’t think we will ever see a prime minister like her ever again.
Thank goodness.
Built smarter, tougher and more dignified back then
Sadly we wont see politicians like this any more love or loath her she was a genuine person and stood by her words , unlike today's politicians . Can you imagine how she would deal with starmer 😂😂😂 she would wipe the floor with him!
Such an extraordinary person, leader, and woman.

One of the best🙏🏼
Good to see more positive support for this hard working woman! Still the greatest politician we’ve ever had in my opinion
Sadly I do not believe we have people like this today we are all absurdly dumbed down.
C'mon, we've got Lee Anderson and Johnathan Gullis 🥸
Amazing candor and gravitas.
Yes, indeed.
Thanks for uploading this. Wasn’t she amazing
She was
no, no she wasnt
No
No she was awful as her comments on the poll tax reveal, that tax nearly wrecked me as a low income worker. Thatcher and the Tories rode on the coat-tails of the Falklands victory from 1982 onwards, a victory purchased with the blood of British and Argentinian soldiers.
The devil you mean
Rishi Sunak - you'd learn a lot listening to this magnificent Lady.
She’s was evil.
She was a viscous, demonic cow. Your comment only shows that you must’ve been from comfortable middle class uk in the 80s. She pulled an entire industry out from underneath working families with zero safety net. She despised anyone who was poor and she made sure she created poverty.

A superb interview - Thank you. Where would the UK be today if we'd had Margaret thatcher as Tory leader 2010 - 2024? - Instead of the 'Tory Boys'.
She is a Leader. She will be up there with Disraeli and Churchill. What would she think of todays bs?
Disraeli is mostly responsible for all the deaths from the Potato Famine in Ireland because he would not repeal the Corn Laws. I suppose in this regard, Thatcher is like Disraeli in that she is a flawed leader and we should be most cautious about putting them on a pedestal because if one looks closely one will see a rotten pedestal.
They really threw her under the bus. What she and her party achieved upon such solid foundations and values was incredible.
If you were around when this vile misanthrope was in power, you must have been living under a rock.
@@poundshopcicero3089 You clearly have no ability to analyse the incredible gains she made for the entire British people. She pulled you all out of drudgery and post war decline and turned you into a leading prosperous country. Socialism would never have done that. Look at the strength of the Pound, even to this day. She simply wasn't prepared to put up with bullying and lack of order or uncivilised behaviour. Good for her!
@@rah1721 " no amount of evidence will change the mind of an idiot ". We are still trying to recover from some of her callous, cruel and vicious policies.
To this day, large parts of the UK hate that women and her enablers, and rightly so. The damage she inflicted on the social structure of our country is immense and the present bunch of right-wing fruitloops are intent on finishing the job.
Our country is on its knees because of these scumbags.
@@poundshopcicero3089 I think your personal ideology is clouding your judgement. Evidence is what is used to judge accurately, not personal preferences or feelings - though you are rightly entitled to those. The evidence for her success across the board is glaring. I'm not sure what you mean by the right-wing fruitloops - there's hardly anyone left with a right-wing stance......all conservatives now seem rather centre these days....hence the formation of the Reform party.
@@rah1721 Fortunately we didn't follow her Neo liberal policies fully in this country, nor did the Scandinavians. Pity she was stabbed in the back by her own Party before she could implement a Poll Tax. That would have woken up Britain earlier.

I could tell the second this started she was in a quite vulnerable place must have been a very hard period in her life.
I found the interviewers penetrating questions insensitive and even bordering on disrespectful. However, she was more than able for them and her tears and beautiful smile only showed how much she loved our country.
Not as hard as the despair she caused whole Communities. She finally felt helpless like them, when her Party stabbed her in the back. Pity she was stabbed in the back before she could implement a Poll Tax. That would have woken up Britain earlier.
I miss her, enormously
You really don't understand what she did. The long term damage advocating Neo-Liberalism but she did learn two lessons Drunk on power she was made to feel helpless as any in the Community as her Party stabbed her in the back. Tears followed, a thing she despised about women. Yet another lesson.🙂 Why did her Party unceremoniously remove her. Because she was about to introduce a Poll Tax.
What a magnetic smile! The most articulate politician I've ever listened to.
That whispering slow voice and intense stare still sends shivers down my spine after all these years. Like a snake, ready to strike. She could have been head of the Slytherin School.
This reminds me of actress Noele Gordon, she wasn't just an actress, and soap star, she was on the board of ATV and contributed in a big way to getting ATV off the ground, she was very much in a world that was known as 'very much a man's world'. She worked for ATV for 26 years, including 17 of those in 'Crossroads', love the soap or hate it, she pulled in 15 plus million viewers, then in 1981 with no explanation she was told in a letter 'all good things come to an end'. Whether you liked Margaret Thatcher or not, and agreed or disagreed with her decisions, she was also in that 'very much a man's world'. One thing for sure, like her or dislike her, we have nothing like her now. Never known it like it is now, it's a mess to say the least. At least she always remained professional and had such great dignity. I remember a friend of mine once wrote to Margaret Thatcher, and he received the most beautiful letter back from her and a signed photograph.
Where are the politicians like this woman. Right or wrong she was the strongest most focused leader since Churchill. Love or hate her she was Britain at its best.
Clement Atlee was the best pm after Churchill, not thatcher who sold everything off to the highest bidder and still created debt unemployment low wages huge bulls and lack of housing began with her. Churchill saved the nation Attlee started the rebuild and others saw us trading more globally particularly with Europe. Thatcher followed Reagan and threw the uk under a bus. Why do you think the likes of bp can now make astronomical profits and bills are so high or why there aren't council houses or the schools and hospitals are falling down. She started all this and then every subsequent tory government has continued the rot and every labour government is held to far higher standards and murdoch media rules the propoganda machine
“There was some ‘controversy’ about the ‘community charge’”. By ‘controversy’ she is referring to the biggest riot in London since 1889! This was the problem: she lived in a self made bubble, immune (so she believed) from the consequences of criticism. She was also a complete liar. “We don’t negotiate with terrorists”. Meanwhile her government, with her full knowledge and approval, was ‘negotiating’ with the IRA in an attempt to end the conflict in Northern Ireland. John Major had the measure of her: “She was mad…and loopy”.
Before I say anything, I hate the tories but that doesn’t mean one cant respect a statesman/woman.
She was her party’s leader and an upfront politician. Watch from 10:23 onwards until 11:42, she is at her most vulnerable and she recoups it back- thats dignity. But that phrase said so quietly, “Yes, but I carried on”, hah… 10:55… makes you pause.
And BBC interviewer was like a journalist bulldog, as they should be, he hounded her to confront what happened during that week.
Impossible to seen such political dissection and honesty, in this day and age.
We will never be blessed again with such a passionate and great leader as her ❤ we need her today more than ever!
She’s reincarnated in the awful Suella Braverman

I hope to meet Margaret Thatcher in heaven. Such a wonderful, eloquent lady. What her own MPs did to her, and a lot of the British people, stabbing her in the back, and celebrating her death, was macabre, and says everything about them.
rest assure u wouldn't cause maggie the cold hearted witch is slow burning in hell till eternity !
Thatcher was so deeply arrogant, divisive and unpopular that her own party ousted her. It was completely impossible for her to continue as Prime Minister.
Frankly the times were modernising and the UK couldn’t handle that it wasn’t the 1950’s anymore. She slashed a lot of things and privatized a lot of services which ran into the ground but…she did get people to buy to their council flats and a zillion other things that got people on all sorts of socioeconomic ladders that just would not had happened with out those policies. Every leader becomes shrill in the end. She could do wonders with Britain today. Alas she is long gone. Many said she wrecked the country. Indeed but that kind of country was a postwar scene that was inevitably drying anyway. Her cabinet pretended, lied and shafted her and rather knifed her. I cry every time I see her fight and in the house arguments. Such power and total commitment. A brilliantly talented Briton and human being. And at times wonderfully decisive. They (her cabinet) were total wimps.
She ruined communities and cities all over the north of England. Most still haven’t recovered.
@@lastp6905 It was happening all over the Western World. The US has the rust belts, Australia the same. The same in France and Germany too. Thatcher freed the UK from socialism. Today, we need to do the same all over again.

@crispinbell9910 err think you need to look at what she did do before just dragging out mines!
Thatcher was the start of what we are currently in. People are only out for their own self. The statement 'There is no such thing as Society' sent shockwaves across the UK and to this day still stands. Bringing about greed and that want more attitude. I always agree and love good honest business and pursuing goals and in turn having others along with you so everyone can prosper, especially those who try and need support. But the sheer attitude to have little to no control of businesses, low laws to none on credit, society, wealthy individuals to not just get wealthy but extremely wealthy and prosper at the mercy of others. The gap between Rich and Poor grows and is continuing to this day and not just in the UK, globally. We are paying the price hugely for the measures she implemented at the time of her governance. Electricity, Gas even water a service and basic human right are charged to us at extortionate prices. This woman has a lot to answer for in our country today.
Maggie... we miss you so bad...
She’s in a box 👍
@@OllieGrigg really?! ¬¬
Are you joking? Every issue we're facing in the UK right now links back to her ushering in the scam of the neoliberal economic model. Thatcherism ruined this country. I'll see her in hell.
A pity she was stabbed in the back by her own Party. A Poll Tax would have woken up the British people and the consequences of Neo Liberalism a lot earlier. Now it's 69+ million people who have just left the 3rd biggest economy in the World. She was a natural Brexiter, as she loathed Europe. How is that all going for you?
A great example of character, dignity the rest is a matter of opinion
She boo hooooed in the end and she despised other women when they showed that quality. She finally felt some of the helplessness she caused to whole communities when they were made to feel that pain. It must have come as a great shock having stripped of her power by her own Party, helpless.
@@michael1345She loved Jimmy Saville though.
She is the first PM who i can remember. She remains the only true PM during my lifetime. All who followed were mere hollowed out personas compared to her. She wanted the best for people worldwide and saw public service as the highest possible calling. A womam of virtue, valour and industrousness rarely to be found.
Brings tears to my eyes just watching this. No doubt the BBC had a part to play in her downfall.
Tears to your eyes? 😂🤣
Brings tears of joy to mine to see this harridan bitch cry
Everyone else falls terribly short in the shadow of Mrs Thatcher.
An example of an excellent person for our country
It was all about privatisation and still is, it just has made everything more expensive. If people knew the true cost of privatising rail which is still subsidised and what we might have had today if they'd just invested in it. A low cost efficient mode of transport would have created wealth. The land attached to the sale was worth more than what was paid, it was a huge carve up of a national asset. Not to mention gas, electricity, education and water.
I never liked Margaret thatcher BUT I do see that She was a passionate believer in all She said and did. She clearly loved both Her job and Her country.
Heseltine caused it all. And even before during after Brexit and even now he is still a massive thorn on Tory’s backside. He won’t be missed when it’s all over for him.
Not by a lot. But he is a character and so much more interesting than Cameron or sunak.
