Can you imagine that level of knowledge coming out of Truss or any of them.
It would first need to go in, so that it can come out
They were the only party with a strong leader and clear policies, and it was the same for the 1987 election.
You can just see that the more complicated the questions become, the stronger she gets, very remarkable.
She is the best.

I agree that she was the best Prime Minister but how fortunate she was to have Worzel Gummidge as opposition leader. A ridiculously looking ex-Communist party member who was even laughed at by his own party members.
Toid
A Great PM
Best prime minister of my lifetime. Well prepared, all the numbers memorised, good handle of basic economics, called the interviewer out on his falsehoods designed to trap her. Didn't pander to stupidity and hurt feelings. When she came to power the country was a mess. Massive overspending, Marxist unions demanding wages based not on productivity but childish economics, rubbish piling up in the streets, three day week, rolling brown outs, and unemployment. She pretty much fixed all of this. Anyone who comes on here with spiteful comments is an idiot.
It was because of that interview that I joined the Conservatives. She has been the best PM since that time.
She denied that the National Insurance Contribution was a tax!
She hugely increased the national debt.
She was the first Prime Minister to stir up the 'global warming' scare, which is now crippling the energy industry.
As for unemployment, the figures are massaged. Large numbers of people don't want to work, have no skills or both. That's been getting worse and worse since 1945, and it's thanks to the welfare state, which Thatcher left intact.
I could go on and on. For example, want to hear about her practically inviting the Argentines to invade the Falklands?
She talked a good talk (sometimes). She never really walked the walk.
YorickReturns utter nonsense. You're obviously a concern troll.
@@myoctobersymphony4446 How is it nonsense?
YorickReturns she walked the walk more than any other PM.
The greatest of them all.
She had a pair, with all due respect; and the last British PM who has..
True, my uncle was one of her personal solicitors and her files at his office were all marked "Maggie Mammaries" by the clerks. You wouldn't get away with it these days!
It's probably the case that The benefits of her policies didn't come into effect till 1990s John major and Blair took the Praise for it.
The bane of politicians-the long term
A dangerously unbalanced economy that was a ticking time bomb based on a credit bubble?
What an incredible mind!, I can’t imagine ANY politician performing at this level today. We are on a downhill slide. Hope i die soon.
Incredible mind? She was an intellectual Pygmy.
Her grasp of detail & memory is unlike any politician I’ve ever known since her!! Very tragic & ironic that she suffered dementia towards the end of her life.
No wonder there is no more manufacturing base in Britain, this woman is responsible for the loss of our manufacturing. She sold us to the city bankers.
Simply, the BEST 👏🌟🏆🇬🇧🌹🇬🇧❤️
She destroyed manufacturing that’s a fact, and she was warned once you lose manufacturing it never comes back, that’s a fact as well, but she did not care, look at British manufacturing now, especially up north non existent.
Lots of manufacturing in the soith
Alan Watts that's not true: The decline was much faster under Labour - manufacturing fell from 17 per cent of the economy to just 11 per cent between 2000 and 2010.
Most advanced economies have experienced a similar decline in manufacturing as a share of GDP.

There's no point having manufacturing capacity if it doesn't actually contribute to the economy. The industries up north like the steel Mills and mines were un productive and un profitable and could nof compete with global markets. So why keep them?
You know when Magaret Thatcher appears on this channel, people are gonna comment XD
Can somebody please direct me to the clip where Thatcher tries to pay in a supermarket with a cheque, and the girl on the till ( Quite rightly ) refuses it as it's not their policy ? ( Naturally, Thatcher goes apeshit )..
economics class 101
The destruction of manufacturing is something we have never recovered from. Importing paper masks during a pandemic, all stems from her inability to see that there is no substitute for making things. The irony of her speaking about the resource of North Sea oil, the revenue used to reduce taxes in the South East, whilst the rest of Britain rotted. Some resource. No wonder Scotland came close to leaving the Union.
Manufacturing output was 7% higher at the end of her premiership than at ten begining

Fascinating/disconcerting some of the feelings surrounding her compared to today's Trump. With no mal intent, what you have are just patriots who love/honor the ideals of their countries. In the end if you believe the story you are told w/out looking with your own eyes, I suppose that becomes what's true.
Trump is a fascist
3:45 "The National Insurance Contribution is not a tax." So, one can refuse to pay?... Of course, it's a tax! Thatcher is so over-rated as an alleged 'free-market' advocate.
It’s a bit like the Dutch healthcare system everyone pays a fixed amount in order to have “free” healthcare, this means that their system is far more economical. But yes it is not a free market system it’s more of a compulsory exchange.
YorickReturns you're such a No True Scotsman
@@myoctobersymphony4446 The 'no true Scotsman' fallacy involves ignoring the proper definition of a word or term, for example by claiming that no true Scotsman would dislike haggis, when on the contrary of course a Scotsman can like or dislike haggis. The point is that a term's proper meaning should be respected. Respecting the proper meaning of the term 'free market' means recognising that Thatcher was very far from being an advocate of the free market.
YorickReturns she did more to advocate for the free market than you could ever in your entire lifetime.
@@myoctobersymphony4446 By telling lies like "The National Insurance Contribution is not a tax"?
Loathsome

@@doctorbritain9632 Absolutely loathsome...!!
TheAylesburyCyclone yes you certainly are.
@@myoctobersymphony4446 I was referring to Thatcher. She was horrendous.!
@@theaylesburycyclist8756 no your opinion of her is horrendous.
She started the fire Thatcherism and Reagonomics. What a disgrace.
The only "disgrace" is and was the state the labour Party with its failed and still failing economic policies did to this country !!!
@@colinrees5967 Haha b*tch Labour's in now
