July 1988
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher agreed to speak to Richard Carleton just before she left 10 Downing Street for her visit to Australia in 1988.
This exclusive interview was Mrs Thatcher's first appearance on 60 Minutes since her famous, 'Who says I'm pig-headed' clash with George Negus in 1981.
Such a clear thinker. Able to effortlessly process information and make sense of it.
she was incredibly sharp and focused - and disciplined
She's truly a world class act. We could use someone like her in world politics right now!
Boris is nothing like her
And right now, and right now, and now, and especially now. MAGA 2024
She knew how to say "no" in 40 languages.
Greatest Prime Minister we had in the United Kingdom inspiring great lady! God bless Lady Thatcher our Iron Lady greatly and sadly missed 😔🥰
She was an amazing human being. A great world leader.
"...I think they told you more about the person who made them than about the person whom they were made".
This quote sums up all the MT haters.
She totally destroys some of his ridiculous and inane questions.
This woman inspires me!
She inspired anybody who didn't have their head buried in socialism.
Like her or not, she was a visionary of the first order, she foresaw where the European community was heading at the time and she vigorously opposed it; we were lucky to her then, and would be so much better if she or someone like her in charge when we have been taken for fools by the present bunch of clowns we have in charge at present!
Great stuff - thanks for posting
She is a good friend of Lee Kuan Yew. May they continue to be friends in heaven. God bless them really.
What a magnificent woman Margrete was. Such a wonderful example of leadership, grace and dignity. How i wish my country, america could claim her. She was such a blessing for England and America Thank you for being a friend of america, a friend of liberty, a friend of freedom. Rest in peace Ms. Thatcher. God bless America, God bless England
I endorse your sentiments and I agree with you, but I just wanted to correct a common mistake. People from outside the UK often refer to the UK as 'England'. England is one of four nations that make up the UK - although 5/6 Brits reside there. The UK is not the same as Great Britain either, as Great Britain is an island containing 3/4 of the UK nations - England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland, the smallest of the UK nations by population, is the only part of the UK outside of Great Britain. Having said that, 'British' nationality is given to the people of Northern Ireland. But because of the Belfast Agreement (also known as the Good Friday Agreement), people born in Northern Ireland can choose to have British nationality, Irish nationality or both. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland. The other nation on the island of Ireland is the Republic of Ireland, a sovereign nation. I'm sure you know most of this, but I'm just putting it out there... :-)
@Ben Fizz There are no ends of conflicting claims across the world, some have more merit than others but the generally accepted way of resolving such disagreements is to ask the inhabitants to choose their own future and in the case of Northern Ireland this is already established. Ireland seeks to 'reunite' with Northern Ireland but an unwilling pairing is not a unification.

As a man, asking a woman does she bring any womanlyness to her leadership is an odd question, do you ask men that same question do you bring manlyness to your leadership? It’s a silly of the cuff question and rooted in disrespect
Such an great speaker she was .
THATCHER you are a queen
“Well you’re very kind...”
The World needs a Reagan, Thatcher, Gorbachev and John Paul ll.
Gee she was wonderful
A powerful antidote to Socialism.
what a WITCH!!!!
@@ussrwrestling hurr durr
💪
and we've seen what a disaster that's been
She always answered so cleverly
He is a pretty terrible interviewer.
Nothing she actually said was incorrect though. She was very far-removed from society by this point though.
What a terrible interviewer and wasted opportunity, surely he could have asked about something more than if she gets offended by journalists.
Really poor interviewer, she chewed him up, spat him out.
No one beats her up no matter what .. she is hard as a rock
Well, you might have thought very differently had you been living in the North of the country, she wasn't quite as popular here...
this fella's a fool
Let her answer!
👏👏👏
Wow this woman is awesome
That was very very nice...
Very fawning interview.
God she could talk
Dankeschön
My favourite Prime Minister a true leader on the other hand Regon not leader but good actor.
КАКАЯ ВЕДЬМА!!!!
Thatcher was nothing but a force of devastation, and she destroyed British industry and laid waste to communities that have never recovered; she sold the country's fortunes to a deregulated financial sector and encouraged a speculative culture with disastrous consequences. She pursued policies that caused great suffering to millions of ordinary working class men and women in her country. She deserves little respect, if any at all.
Nationalisation destroys British industry, both by making the industries that have been taken over inefficient and by sucking money out of the productive economy. And deregulating the financial sector didn't have ill effects, despite what people like to believe.
It clearly causes you a great deal of internal combustion that you came here with your 'acid' dipped keyboard to find yet another video that venerates her and that she in fact not only gets enormous respect from those who lived in her time, but that she finds new support from those who have only previously heard dipshit opinion.
As she would say, it says far more about you than it does her.
Unions destroyed British industry, I was around in the seventies and the uk was not a pleasant place to live, especially as you couldn’t put the lights on in your house when it got dark, get the candles out mum was the word
She didn’t cause me to suffer, she put money in my pocket as a working class boy, and saved this country, I suffered in the seventies when I couldn’t put the lights on in my house because everyone was on strike
Do you comment on every Thatcher documentary/interview with your ridiculous thoughts? Were you actually in the UK before she took over? Or were you hoping that the whole country would remain poor and run down under the useless Labour administrations?
Great leader, but she screwed the pooch on the pole tax.
But now there are too many Poles in the UK.
that's the only thing the cow could say she was a horrible person
silly woman, still with the exception of Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and John Major the best prime minister since James callaghan
James Callaghan was fantastic (before my time) Blair was evil
@@andybray9791 Great man with many ideas about what to do. He got wiser as he got older.
Blair is an awful man who had a few good ideas about what to do. He never gets any wiser.
She is constantly voted "Most Hated Woman in British History".
I just googled that and there doesn't seem to be any such award. There are informal "Most Hated" lists, but they often include Justin Bieber and Barack Obama.
Well, its not hard because at the time of Margaret Thatcher. British politics had only had 4 females queens that had any sort of influence and power. Not exactly hard to top the list when its so short
Is that your own personal poll?? With a one person vote?
