In the immortal words of Frankie Boyle: "Louise Mensch is an anti-abortion feminist. Basically on the list of great feminists she places in-between Peter Sutcliffe and Henry VIII."
Louise has a right to her views. Nobody compares Pope Francis to the Yorkshire Ripper. I was a child in Yorkshire during the time of the Ripper, believe me he caused far more fear than Louise Mensch has done. Louise is clever, beautiful and witty, she is a credit to the 90s generation.
Which shows that underneath all the "edgy" comedy, Frankie Boyle is just another left wing, grievance mongering panderer to the failed Marxist ideology. Perhaps we should nationalise comedians, and take all their money, Frankie would be glad to have all his money taken away, and live in a state owned council house. What no?
To her supporters, she was a revolutionary figure who transformed Britain's stagnant economy, tamed the unions and re-established the country as a world power. Together with US presidents Reagan and Bush, she helped bring about the end of the Cold War.
lol You and your lefty pals ran the country into the ground. Then when Thatcher was fixing it, you act like add the damage you did was her fault. Everyone with half a brain reveres Mrs Thatcher and no one remembers your marxist cronies who she stomped.
Yes, I remember the three day week under Margaret Thatcher, the corpses piling up in mortuaries, the constant strikes, and the complete shambles. Hang on, no wait, that wasn't her was it? So many statues to Michael Foot, and Dennis Healey, those savours of the British Isles. But I'll give you that, public sector parasites and state leaches didn't get such a good ride as they do now, as they suck the work sweat of the working man. Still next Labour government, sure will fix that, don't you know.
Man and human are really just synonyms of each other. For instance you can say 'mankind' and 'humankind' both mean the same thing so mensch simply means man in the sense of the people overall whether they be male or female.
I suppose it was 'bastard'. Hardly 'strong language' when the first English (well, Anglo-French) king we're taught about in any detail is 'William the Bastard'. :)
The sad truth is that many deluded (and increasingly greedy) people DID vote for Thatcher. My father, to his eternal regret, voted for her in '79 despite voting against the Tories in every other election before and since. Thatcher was a single-minded menace, but she rode on a wave of like-minded greedy aspiration of people who weren't happy with what they already had. People are, unfortunately, like that and not much has changed.
Thatcher was historically unpopular in her 2nd term, and the unpopular Michael Foot was polling over 50% before the SDP split off and the Falklands War. Thatcher wasn't some sort of super popular politician, but the stars aligned in such a way that she could ride a surging wave of nationalism with the Falklands War.
"There's a huge amount of incredibly talented Tory women who could be PM" Yeah that aged well didn't it. We ended up with Theresa May who no-one got to vote for except a tiny number of Tory party members, and then......Liz "I lost to a lettice" Truss! LMAO!
Don’t know why they felt that had to apologise for Alexi’s use of profane language. After all it was in context, I mean how could he not use the word Thatcher in a piece about her? 🤔
@@thewrastler it was because he said ‘Thatcher’s a bastard’ in his reference to the Comedy Club. My point was that to many Thatcher’s name is offensive to many people.
@@JMal883 the Young Ones book Bachelor Boys has "Thatcher" as a stage one swear word alongside bum, fart and jobbie. "That-cher" is stage two along with Tebbit-breath, nob-face and bum-wipe. I daren't mention any stage three swears in case I breach UA-cam's standards😆
I have a feeling Louise Mensh has used that 'Mummy, are men allowed to be Prime Minister?' line before. I'd say she looks smug, but that face has had so much work done it's hard to be sure.
Thatcher was finished by 1982, she made sure a certain war happened despite the best efforts of Alexander Haig and rode the horrible wave of jingoism that followed. The maimed service personnel were not allowed to attend the victory parade. Historical fact.
I think the word you're looking for is 'Belgrano' ..... what a fck-up the aftermath of that was - ho wshe was never hung drawn and quartered i'll never know
@@davidgreensmith7862 Britain was totally justified in sinking the Belgrano. Hector Bonzo, the ships captain, and the Argentinian government agreed afterwards it was a legitimate act of war. It was a warship, sunk during a war. The only people who get worked up about are British people who don’t like Thatcher.
He said bastard. I bet the phones were ringing off the hook when that happened. Quick and simple apology to the viewers, well done. I personally didn't give a flying shit and the fact that the anchor apologized at the end for Alexis' "word" surprised me and almost pissed me off, wtf? I then realized that the station and tv networks have a reputation to keep up so the short apology was actually a good thing considering their circumstance. If the anchor started apologizing like a lil kid that's not trying to get into trouble, I would then call in myself and tell them to censor themselves less because they're making themselves look like little babies caring more about political correctness rather than presenting the facts and the shitty opinions of their guests.
I never quite understood how being 'strong' (narcissitic/sociopathic) and intransigent (stubborn to the point of psychopathy!) could be seen as virtues or somehow to be aspired to. Thatcher did have a t the very least a borderline personality disorder and was in fact a terrible politician. She almost single-handedly decimated British manufacturing, she sold off all council houses leaving very little social housing for future generations, she privatised things like energy, trains and telecommunications (hence all the problems we have today!) and she sold off energy companies to foreign conglomerates and thoroughly wasted north sea gas. She was truly appalling but made everybody believe she was a goddess. She was truly awful
To her supporters, she was a revolutionary figure who transformed Britain's stagnant economy, tamed the unions and re-established the country as a world power. Together with US presidents Reagan and Bush, she helped bring about the end of the Cold War.
maybe she was in it for her ego but she was always right and super bright and wouldn't put up with incompetence or laziness which the lefties have in abundance it must have be hard for her to tolerate half wits and people standing in the way !
You Can't Escape The Blob no she didn't the country was in a fucking mess when she rescued it and got us out of debt we were the sick man of Europe and had to go cap in hand to the world bank because labour had maxed the cards out as usual you lefties never learn from history and just make the same mistakes over and over again look at venezuela cuba north korea hollande whatever the left touches turns to failure why?
bob rambo "no she didn't the country was in a fucking mess when she rescued it" "Rescued" it, did she? I'm sure there are more than a few decimated, left-behind communities in this country she ostensibly "rescued" who would disagree.

Alexei Sayle and actually a lot of alternative comedians of the 80s helped me through with my History lessons at School. Because of the 80s humour, this motivated me to learn about Stalin, Trotsky, Marx and Lenin. That and my Dad (being an ex Sgt in The parachute regiment) insisted we watched the local and international news every bleeding night in order to know what is going down in the world . By the time I was 14 I had a pretty good idea and a healthy view on politics. Needless to say that when it came for my time to vote, I had no ideas whose policies actually makes sense, and to be honest, nothing has changed.
How could anyone say she was responsible for such huge political success when three million people (or more) weren't working under her rule? What could possibly be called successful about that?
In the beginning, yes, but towards the end of the 80's (second half) things got better. Many people seem to forget where Britain came from, before 1979
The word "bastard"? "Grave offence"? I'm offended that an apology was issued on British adult TV. Anyway, she was a fucking bitch who started the rot in this country. May that evil, conceited, arrogant bitch burn in hell.
Was that actually the word? "Bastard"? I was trying to think back to which word it could've been. Alexei kept it relatively clean. Really? "Bastard"? Come on now. We're not kids.
xxerox yeah that was the first word that sprang to my mind too. all in all it may not be as dramatic BUT Cameron is committing FAR more butchering to the public services to the UK. AND he's made the billionare bastards that are dragging us into PayDayLoan ruin infallible.
Alexei seems to have a political point; of course Thatcher was bonkers (her anti-gay speech and her being the result of the many strikes that occurred when she was in power) It's like Thatcher was a British and older version of Sarah Palin.
Ha Ha Some of us were hating and turning our faces away while listening, right up until that point, it being one of the earliest public endorsements of her. Theresa May as PM was a great fantasy for the best people of this country. ..While Thatcher just sent people down to slave in dark mines and lefties like you similarly want to stick your head up the darkest a*hole you can find.
exactly what word did Alexei used that caused offence? was it Marxism? Because I can't hear anything else. 1:17 "Oh Comrade, don't get me started..... Marxism!" haha, brilliant!
Unfortunately, the most determined psychopaths have always had the best odds of assuming positions of power. It certainly didn't start with Thatcher. Alexei could do to read a bit of Caesar's works or those of Tiglath Pilaser.
Why would the Tory women oil her forehead so heavily when preparing for on-camera appearance??? This isn't meant as political commentary - I'm genuinely curious.
But I admit she did reinvigirate the economy after the disastrous 70s. Shame that only a minority of people really benefited who mostly lived in the SE of England. The northern cities were empty shells during her reign
indeed ! ... somewhat ironic that it took an IRA bomb to reinvigorate Manchester (I bet she'd even claim to have planted that even though it was after her acidic rain !
Cannibal Xerox It's 2am here and I've slept since I watched this video. I can give you examples of values that conservative thinkers uphold that are dangerous for women, or I can give you policies from the Tory party. Which are you asking for, because both are different? The Tories aren't really Tories now; they're pretty bog-standard monstrous neo-liberals.
When England has a leader who can find solutions instead of creating or exercerbating problems, then I will call him or her a hero. One that addresses at it´s roots the problems of war, crime and homelessness. Instead of convincing people that these things are necessary. A leader who encourages alternative energy. More win win co-operation instead of needlessly ruthless cut throat competition.
The former Conservative prime minister was responsible for "every real problem" faced in the UK today, as she had led millions of people out of work. Of course she was popular, she was offering people their homes at a cut price. But she didn't build any houses. She created today's housing crisis, she produced the banking crisis, she created the benefits crisis. It was her government that started putting people on incapacity benefits rather than register them as unemployed because the Britain she inherited was broadly at full employment. She decided when she wrote off our manufacturing industry that she could live with two or three million unemployed and the legacy of that, the benefits bill that we are still struggling with today. In actual fact, every real problem we face today is the legacy of the fact she was fundamentally wrong. She will be remembered by many for the destructive and divisive policies she reigned over which in the end, even in the Tory party, proved to be her downfall. Her legacy involves the destruction of communities, the elevation of personal greed over social values and legitimising the exploitation of the weak by the strong. Margaret Thatcher laid the basis for policies which wrecked the lives of millions in Britain. But she should also be remembered as a warmonger. She led alongside Ronald Reagan the escalation of the Cold War. She introduced cruise missiles to Britain and fought the Falklands war. Her arms deals with Saudi Arabia were notorious. She famously said "theres no such thing as society. Well there certainly wasnt after she had finished. About to lose an election she manipulated a war with Argentina by ordering her defence fleet to withdraw from The Falklands knowing it would encourage the Argies to attack. THATCHER- THE MOST HATED WOMAN IN BRITISH HISTORY !!!
That is absolute nonsense. And I bet you will not respond to this. Unemployment under Thatcher went from 12% down to 5%. What do yo say now or will you just bang on about some left wing nonsense.
bighands69 In 1979 Unemployment was 5.7%. This level was never again reached by Thatcher or indeed by any Tory leader in their 18 years up to 1997. Most years under Thatcher the level was more than double this. For goodness sake get your facts right before you make yourself look a total clown Bighands !!!
@ 4.20 Mench states that harriet Harman praised Maggie in the strongest possible way (Harman is a feminist [ie, insecure, badly-done-to woman]), probably for leading the way for women- but actually Maggie HATED feminists, she stated 'I owe them NOTHING'. So maybe Mench should get her facts correct first. I am (sort of) a fan of Thatcher's - I am certainly not a lefty, but I do think Sayle is a great comedian. A person does not have to agree with someone's politics to like them.PS. I DO NOT VOTE
Privativation is not bad however over privativation is very bad. There has to be a public alternative or the companies will rob the coffers blind and pay the politicians to look the other way. MT had her time and was needed to compensate for Callaghan's mess. Later she went too far the other direction and made another kind of mess. No middle of the roader's on either side of the Atlantic.
Weird isn't it; I hated Thatcher and what she did to us, but now I hate Labour. Meanwhile, Mench continues her career as a traitor to all things good and honest.
First past the post is going to cripple the Tories at the next election, you smarmy little madam. Then the toffs will bleat how unfair it is. Looking forward to seeing that!
I'd like to watch this, but I don't want to inadvertently find out what Louise Mensch thinks.
+Nick Taylor It's ok, Alexie Sayle goes first and then you can stop watching when the interviewer asks her a question.
+chrisofnottingham My thoughts exactly. Had to laugh when he made his little dig at Ben Elton though...
+Nick Taylor You're quite safe, when a tory speaks it has no bearing on what they actually think
Can you argue with someone's viewpoint if you don't actually listen to it?
Exactly, who gives a crap what any thatchers child thinks...uuurgh.
Narcissistic personality disorder. Messianic complex. Perfectly summed up. She even talked about herself in the 3rd person towards the end. 🤪

She made it so single parents could stay with their children
Thatcher's whole election-winning ethos was simply 'Vote for me. I'm a BASTARD!'
B'stard sir, it's B'stard ! 🙂
And to think: "Mensch" means "human" in German. The irony, the irony.
I thought that Mensch was Man in german, as in Ubermensch (superman)
Man and human are really just synonyms of each other. For instance you can say 'mankind' and 'humankind' both mean the same thing so mensch simply means man in the sense of the people overall whether they be male or female.
its not spelled that way ......she spells it her surname Hitler
Means 'decent human' in Yiddish
Ah the irony!
@Rog5446 Kann sein, Aber... "Mensch" is the gender-neutral term, so "human" is in fact closer.
Hahaha "it was only her own party that threw her out" says it all then doesn't it

"will there be another woman prime minister"
With the power of hindsight, yes and no 😂😭
October 2022 says Hi
Mench does herself no favours here.
@Blue Butterfly lol
And as Alexei Sayle said, she was never actually voted for by a majority of the electorate.....
and he was never thought remotely funny be anyone who watched 'The Young Ones'.
Every time I see and hear Mensch I just don't get it. Shallow, vacuous and completely content free.
+adeel1650 that's because she's an israeli puppet
Apparently she is considered a great beauty by the zionist media.................
+Ros Pillai I'm from Israel, never heard of her until now. Unless you mean some kind of Zionist media in Britain.
Yes I do mean the Western media which seems to be controlled entirely by zionists.
Ros Pillai Oh be quiet you idiot.
Louise Mench didn't have a proper answer for the point of not having 50% of the votes. I vote Alexie.
Unfortunately, the most determined psychopaths have always had the best odds of assuming positions of power. It certainly didn't start with Thatcher.
Alexei could do to read a bit of Caesar's works or those of Tiglath Pilaser.
Did they apologise for Alexei saying bonkers and nuts? For fuck's sake.
Why would the Tory women oil her forehead so heavily when preparing for on-camera appearance???
This isn't meant as political commentary - I'm genuinely curious.
But I admit she did reinvigirate the economy after the disastrous 70s. Shame that only a minority of people really benefited who mostly lived in the SE of England. The northern cities were empty shells during her reign
indeed ! ... somewhat ironic that it took an IRA bomb to reinvigorate Manchester (I bet she'd even claim to have planted that even though it was after her acidic rain !
We never had a vote on actual AV...
Not sure what this means.
Notice how much the feminist enjoys the prospect of a female domination. She would call any man enjoying the same tedious comments from a man sexist.
I love Alexei Sayle....and his take on Thatcher. I could listen to him for hours.
Just an apology for a word alexei used that may have caused grave offence.. . Thatcher
Is she actually saying a conservative is good for women!? HOLD ME BACK SOMEONE.
+FreekinEkin2 Are you saying conservative women and women that vote conservative have "internalised misogyny" or something?
Cannibal Xerox No I'm saying all of their policies are disastrous for women, especially women in countries we tamper with.
FreekinEkin2 Like what?
Cannibal Xerox It's 2am here and I've slept since I watched this video. I can give you examples of values that conservative thinkers uphold that are dangerous for women, or I can give you policies from the Tory party. Which are you asking for, because both are different? The Tories aren't really Tories now; they're pretty bog-standard monstrous neo-liberals.
FreekinEkin2 I appreciate that you realise the current Conservative Party isn't actually representative of conservatism.
I want the former.
When England has a leader who can find solutions instead of creating or exercerbating problems, then I will call him or her a hero. One that addresses at it´s roots the problems of war, crime and homelessness. Instead of convincing people that these things are necessary. A leader who encourages alternative energy. More win win co-operation instead of needlessly ruthless cut throat competition.
LOUISE MENSCH IS A DINFO AGENT..A CON... A FRAUD..DO NOT TRUST HER!!!!!!
Do not trust anything on social media.
The former Conservative prime minister was responsible for "every real problem" faced in the UK today, as she had led millions of people out of work.
Of course she was popular, she was offering people their homes at a cut price. But she didn't build any houses.
She created today's housing crisis, she produced the banking crisis, she created the benefits crisis. It was her government that started putting people on incapacity benefits rather than register them as unemployed because the Britain she inherited was broadly at full employment.
She decided when she wrote off our manufacturing industry that she could live with two or three million unemployed and the legacy of that, the benefits bill that we are still struggling with today.
In actual fact, every real problem we face today is the legacy of the fact she was fundamentally wrong.
She will be remembered by many for the destructive and divisive policies she reigned over which in the end, even in the Tory party, proved to be her downfall.
Her legacy involves the destruction of communities, the elevation of personal greed over social values and legitimising the exploitation of the weak by the strong.
Margaret Thatcher laid the basis for policies which wrecked the lives of millions in Britain. But she should also be remembered as a warmonger.
She led alongside Ronald Reagan the escalation of the Cold War. She introduced cruise missiles to Britain and fought the Falklands war. Her arms deals with Saudi Arabia were notorious.
She famously said "theres no such thing as society. Well there certainly wasnt after she had finished. About to lose an election she manipulated a war with Argentina by ordering her defence fleet to withdraw from The Falklands knowing it would encourage the Argies to attack.
THATCHER- THE MOST HATED WOMAN IN BRITISH HISTORY !!!
That is absolute nonsense. And I bet you will not respond to this.
Unemployment under Thatcher went from 12% down to 5%.
What do yo say now or will you just bang on about some left wing nonsense.
bighands69 In 1979 Unemployment was 5.7%. This level was never again reached by Thatcher or indeed by any Tory leader in their 18 years up to 1997. Most years under Thatcher the level was more than double this. For goodness sake get your facts right before you make yourself look a total clown Bighands !!!
bighands69 there were 4 million people unemployed under thatcher's regime,
@ 4.20 Mench states that harriet Harman praised Maggie in the strongest possible way (Harman is a feminist [ie, insecure, badly-done-to woman]), probably for leading the way for women- but actually Maggie HATED feminists, she stated 'I owe them NOTHING'. So maybe Mench should get her facts correct first. I am (sort of) a fan of Thatcher's - I am certainly not a lefty, but I do think Sayle is a great comedian. A person does not have to agree with someone's politics to like them.PS. I DO NOT VOTE
Privativation is not bad however over privativation is very bad. There has to be a public alternative or the companies will rob the coffers blind and pay the politicians to look the other way. MT had her time and was needed to compensate for Callaghan's mess. Later she went too far the other direction and made another kind of mess. No middle of the roader's on either side of the Atlantic.
Keith the Conservative and Unionist movements got 49.4% just under the majority vote but pretty close but not just over the line!
Wanted to say Britain became better after. Same types from different parties after. Guess one similarity was all crooks.
I'm not really mad you know? I just act this way to seem more sophisticated.
Oh my. Louise doesn't look like Louise anymore.
Must be the air over there?
Weird isn't it; I hated Thatcher and what she did to us, but now I hate Labour. Meanwhile, Mench continues her career as a traitor to all things good and honest.
What bloody work did Alexei use that might have caused bloody offence?! THATCHER??!
Hey Louise, how about Lady Bathory for PM?
First past the post is going to cripple the Tories at the next election, you smarmy little madam. Then the toffs will bleat how unfair it is. Looking forward to seeing that!
Still waiting are you? Labour's worst defeat for decades and no political party has ever been more utterly humiliated and shunned Hahahahahahaah!!!!
