@@altt-check1-2 literally has no effect. Treaty of Lisbon ratified 2007, UK was in the EU in 2022, UK was still using the pound 15 years after treaty was signed. The pound was never going to be eliminated while the UK was (and is) still the home of one of the most important financial cities in the world. The only reason the pound if powerful at all is because of London and it’s use as the main forex trading city in the world. Nearly 40% of all currency trading happens in London. That’s twice as much as the next largest city, New York. London trades more Euros than every other European city combined. This is why the pound wasn’t going to disappear, not until the UK becomes too small to make an impact on it: own, which Brexit has actually helped accelerate.
@@agnel47 She didn't claim that he said that. She just pointed out the hypocrisy of caring more about the wealth gap instead of caring about how people are actually doing.
@@agnel47 No, he literally said it's worse off relatively for his constituents than it was in 1979, which is just a flat out lie. Everything else is statistical manipulation to serve a political purpose. Follow me here. In any time of prosperity, the gap between the rich and the poor widens because the poor can't get much more poor than nothing, so if the poor stay on the relatively low end of wealth - and I emphasize relative because poor in Africa and poor in Britain are two entirely different kinds of poor and the poor in Africa are much closer to the rich than the poor in Britain to their respective rich - but the rich are capable of creating a more abundant production of wealth than previously, you create a widened gap of what is possible, and it is very far from the case that increasing the gap is dishonorable or immoral; it is very often the opposite if such a thing can create jobs and secure necessities for more people than a previous time. In other words, you essentially are always arguing for a reduction in the total abundance of a nation, region or system when you are arguing for a gap reduction from rich and poor in a capitalist free market, and when you do that, you are definitely always arguing for the rich to be poorer, which makes the poor yet poorer still. It's just hard to recognize that until you unpack the sewage crust that is the "wage gap" statistic. What you call those who prosper from capitalism without becoming rich is in fact the middle-class. What you call those who for one reason or another fail to assimilate into the system are the poor, and surely they need help all the same as they are people who simply are not succeeding for one reason or another. The problem with comparing it to socialism is that the rich in capitalism can be compelled to pay greater amounts, and they can more than absorb such costs with free market principles, and in doing so can absolve much of the burden from the poor without ever having to directly offer them charity, but in socialism they cannot be compelled to pay greater amounts because the rich in socialism are those who govern themselves, and they will not dictate to themselves lesser means. They can only dictate to others, but inevitably they will nationalize, socialize or whateverize a business and essentially make it owned by the government, until there is no middle man to dictate, at which point collapse is inevitable due to the hubris inherent in all human governance systems.
Honestly I dont care what you think of her politically but the way thatcher was able to handle herself doing battle with these men, both within her party and the opposition is admirable, especially when you remember this was the 1980s and that there were no other female cabinet ministers aside from a brief stint from 1981-3. She never made herself a victim. She never complained about "the patriarchy" or "sexism". She took the hand she was dealt and worked tirelessly to build herself up.

I think it’s more this comes from era where people could disagree with each other and not think the other person was evil/bigoted/retarded for having a different opinion.
Regardless of what you think of Thatcher’s policies, she’s one outstanding speaker. She’s the type of person who could say the most ridiculous thing but she says it with so much passion, inspiration (and a bit of humour) that I’d agree with her. No wonder she was considered the most powerful woman in the world
I think the exact opposite is the case, I totally agree with her political positions, but when I hear her speak she really sound to me like a person I would never said any trust into she speaks so loud and so aggressive as if she would have no self-control, and it seems to me that she does not have any ability to self reflecting as well
Wow you're a big fucking dumbass. I would agree with anyone who can succesfully convince and manipulate people! I am literally being manipulated and I love it!
Jim Callaghan apparently one said to her "I must congratulate the Right Honourable Lady for being the only man in her cabinet." Thatcher replied "That's one more man than you've got in yours"
They still do all the time in UK, in the US the moment University professors started teaching that words equal violence and their weak-minded students believe it, it was all over...
They are all having a laugh here because she's just announced she is stepping down as PM. Most outgoing PMs have this kind of banter. The idea that they weren't as c*ntish to each other back then as they are now is a myth.
Socialism needs to be shot down with ill humor. Look at what Hilter did with socialism. It is a tool of war and conquest which fascists use to seize power and step into communism.
I normally dislike the throwing around of gender and identity politics around for clout... but I'm not ignorant to the fact that it must have taken courage and unshakeable will on Mrs Thatcher's part to as you say, hold her own in a room of men in that era especially. Kudos to her and you for bringing that up.

Being a horrible person doesn’t make you strong, it makes you weak. Having the guts to stand up to what is put there by billionaire overlords to keep the masses down and say no to oppression and poverty is strength. Funnily enough, Thatcher doesn’t represent feminism or strong and independent women as many in this comments section seem to think. She represents a woman who is a member of the establishment, doing what the establishment want, while disguising how sexist the establishment really is. She was a good puppet really (both in real form and in her Spitting Image form). That’s an utmost sign of weakness, wouldn’t you say?
@@SH-ii6uo nope! Genuine right wing politician, deep in her heart, well aware of her cause and responsabilities. She was great because of her integrity and ambition without any of feminist of sexist bullshit flags that today hide incompetence.

The ones who think they can put equal everywhere or, shouting bs and things like "he works because he is a white man" and other crap like nowadays, that "politician" is just fishing for stupidity, getying some votes and will never get things done well.

@@Freedomon832 Lmfao, I do see the truth: She was born into wealth, married into wealth and she was a criminal and warmonger. That's exactly why people like her should never be in power.
She has a point. Only the rich will get richer because of their resources and influences. The poor people can get out of poverty by striving and working hard without the assistants from the government.
Sdm 9137 She roasted nobody. Corbyn was around at this time and did on multiple occasions give her a hard time. Thatcher was a bitch and that’s all she’ll ever be. She didn’t roast anyone, she was just horrible and when a better argument was presented, she wouldn’t accept it and instead resorted to the kind of response more comprehensible to the lower minded Tory thralls who still sit there and clap like seals at her, without understanding how silly and school playground level the response really is. She put words in people’s mouths, presented no facts, and merely insulted people with no basis.
You do realize what she is saying right? She is giving a horrible debate that makes no logical sense. The wealth distribution is the largest problem with Western society, and some of the socialist policies will ease the gap. The poor will not get poorer, they will just have more opportunities to obtain wealth and will have more social services. This will be paid by the government through taxation on the top 10%.

Damn right. Thatcher was supremely intelligent and had grit. What I would give to see a modern woman of prominence now. Kamala is the BEST the left had in their shallow quiver. By the way, Kamala means "horrible" in Finnish.
"Well, she's going to be the governor...!" What a witty line. THEN Thatcher's response of, "What a good idea!", made the whole thing 10x better. She was truly naturally born to politics, "I'm enjoying this!" really says it all. Each question thrown at her wasn't beat around the bush but answered with due diligence and intelligence. Even her opponents can recognize this. The U.K. desperately needs a Prime Minister with a sense of duty to the nation as, as she did ultimately course-correct the U.K.'s downward spiral. Mind you, the Conservative Party in the U.K. nowadays is a complete shadow of its former self, how disappointing given that they boast the likes of Churchill & Thatcher.

If a member of the Cabinet (or of the opposition's Shadow Cabinet) or in some other way a member of the Privy Council he is "the right honourable". In the House of Lords, the three lower ranks (earl, viscount, baron) are "the right honourable", the next highest (marquess) is a "most honourable", and the top rank (duke) is a "most noble".

Stormwatch153 Yet countries such as Greece, Republic of Ireland, Spain and Italy are losing out massively to the single currency. Exchange rate means nothing - it constantly fluctuates. Once Britain leaves the European Union the pound will mostly likely gain more again on the Euro.
Appart from being semicircular, the atmosphere is much more negative here, as debates are basically personal attacks between the different parties, instead of actually discussing important stuff. Also, turns are much longer here, which leads to the politicians just dismissing the interesting and more controversial questions, in order to focus on throwing shit back to the other groups.

Same game, different name. It’s time to not allow abuse of labor and for everyone to get what they earned and worked for.

This was 30 years ago, when it was ok to hold a different opinion to the Left without being called a Nazi, and both sides could shake hands after a debate.
This was ALSO Americas Congress before the radical leftists and their media shills took to destroying ANYONE who didn't go along with them. The ones who stood for truth, didn't do enough to STOP the traitors who wanted ALL of our destruction,.so they could have their "one world government".......which will destroy EVERY single country. We don't WANT to be a " global society" with a "one man leader dictator". He will NOT have ANYONE but himself to answer to, and THAT is dangerous.
@@dede4004 left and right fucked up this world hand in hand, no side is innocent in this matter, both have been radicalized and emotions have taken over common sense. Both sides operate with mass hysteria, one side threatens with global warming, the other with migration.

I pray that moderate politicians take back the control on both sides, otherwise our world is pretty much doomed.

No, they definitely showed it. Thatcher definitely did.
I think it’s more this comes from era where people could disagree with each other and not think the other person was evil/bigoted/retarded for having a different opinion.
Regardless of what you think of Thatcher’s policies, she’s one outstanding speaker. She’s the type of person who could say the most ridiculous thing but she says it with so much passion, inspiration (and a bit of humour) that I’d agree with her. No wonder she was considered the most powerful woman in the world
Except she's correct
I think the exact opposite is the case, I totally agree with her political positions, but when I hear her speak she really sound to me like a person I would never said any trust into she speaks so loud and so aggressive as if she would have no self-control, and it seems to me that she does not have any ability to self reflecting as well
Wow you're a big fucking dumbass. I would agree with anyone who can succesfully convince and manipulate people! I am literally being manipulated and I love it!
She was a dreadful public speaker. Clunking ... unsophisticated arguments. Her style would not pass today.@@shrekshyakhadka
The last uk politician worth a damn.
I agree.
Jim Callaghan apparently one said to her "I must congratulate the Right Honourable Lady for being the only man in her cabinet."
Thatcher replied "That's one more man than you've got in yours"
@@splinterbyrd She was quick at come backs on her feet and witty with it.
Imagine if politicians today could joke and laugh about their differences like they’re doing here
But liberals can’t take a joke.
They still do all the time in UK, in the US the moment University professors started teaching that words equal violence and their weak-minded students believe it, it was all over...
They are all having a laugh here because she's just announced she is stepping down as PM. Most outgoing PMs have this kind of banter. The idea that they weren't as c*ntish to each other back then as they are now is a myth.
Make no mistake, this lot had some VERY heated arguments at times. This is a one off moment that's laced with quipperies and banter.
Socialism needs to be shot down with ill humor. Look at what Hilter did with socialism. It is a tool of war and conquest which fascists use to seize power and step into communism.
She held her own in that room full of men. Regardless of her politics she was an amazing speaker and presence.
I normally dislike the throwing around of gender and identity politics around for clout... but I'm not ignorant to the fact that it must have taken courage and unshakeable will on Mrs Thatcher's part to as you say, hold her own in a room of men in that era especially. Kudos to her and you for bringing that up.
do you understand you're talking about Margaret Thatcher? that lady went through wars: is she gonna scared "because they're men"?!?!?!?!?
Maggie would not have approved of this sentiment

Honestly though, why can't Europe be a federative republic? It would be the richest, most powerful nation on the planet.
Frankly, we talk so much about the rise of China, but how did they do it? By building a united "civilization state" out of two billion people. And now they seem poised to define the next century, while Europe is again torn by petty nationalistic squabbles.

I'm enjoying her speech, whatever she says; there's something with her convinient 'aura' of speech: coinfidence, humor and making clear her points...
She is right. Just because the wealth gap is wide doesn't mean that the poor aren't doing better off then they would otherwise.
She was the best man for the job, let’s be honest.
This is what a strong person looks like, not like many today bringing out their sex or race as an excuse when men laugh at them.
Meh, she's putting words in his mouth. You see that as strength, for me it's weakness.
Being a horrible person doesn’t make you strong, it makes you weak. Having the guts to stand up to what is put there by billionaire overlords to keep the masses down and say no to oppression and poverty is strength. Funnily enough, Thatcher doesn’t represent feminism or strong and independent women as many in this comments section seem to think. She represents a woman who is a member of the establishment, doing what the establishment want, while disguising how sexist the establishment really is. She was a good puppet really (both in real form and in her Spitting Image form). That’s an utmost sign of weakness, wouldn’t you say?
@@SH-ii6uo nope! Genuine right wing politician, deep in her heart, well aware of her cause and responsabilities. She was great because of her integrity and ambition without any of feminist of sexist bullshit flags that today hide incompetence. She was earning respect everywhere, including Russia despite her fight against the left. A true politician understands responsabilities, risks, sacrifices and has a vision. The ones who think they can put equal everywhere or, shouting bs and things like "he works because he is a white man" and other crap like nowadays, that "politician" is just fishing for stupidity, getying some votes and will never get things done well.
I am very much against feminism for example and I have to tell you I bow to this woman. And that, not because she is "impressive as a woman" in politics, no, but because she was exactly what she had to be to fill up her positions - an excellent politician
You are right brotha! Strong intelligent lady
SH99 She rebuilt the country from when it was one of the worst economy’s modern U.K. has ever seen to one of the best economy’s modern U.K. has ever seen. Isn’t that a sign of strength?

She put words in people’s mouths, presented no facts, and merely insulted people with no basis.
Look at that scene. One single woman against all those men. Love her or hate her, she knew how to handle every single one of them.
This has nothing to do with her being a woman. If a person is qualified and has rational thought that person will know how to handle opposing views.
You do realize what she is saying right? She is giving a horrible debate that makes no logical sense. The wealth distribution is the largest problem with Western society, and some of the socialist policies will ease the gap. The poor will not get poorer, they will just have more opportunities to obtain wealth and will have more social services. This will be paid by the government through taxation on the top 10%.

The Honourable is a title given to politicians after reaching a certain level of stature in Parliament. It's like having a Dr or Sir before your name.
It's required in the rules. An ordinary Member of the House of Commons is referred to verbally as "the honourable." If a barrister (a courtroom lawyer) he is called "the honourable and learned". If a veteran (or current member of the armed services) "the honourable and gallant". If a member of the clergy "the hounourable and reverend". If a member of the Cabinet (or of the opposition's Shadow Cabinet) or in some other way a member of the Privy Council he is "the right honourable".
In the House of Lords, the three lower ranks (earl, viscount, baron) are "the right honourable", the next highest (marquess) is a "most honourable", and the top rank (duke) is a "most noble".
Because your not directly allowed to reply to the person who has just spoke and who your answering. There is no one honourable in parliament today.
I absolutely love how the brits have their parliament set up, racous, loud, everyone laughs and cheers for what they like and boos what they dont, and even the prime minister sits down amongst her peers and others ask her and each other direct questions and interject and everybody sits close so as to have a flowing dialogue, really good show of democracy and being able to have your voice heard, yall limeys keep it up here here i say!

Say what you want about thatcher she’d absolutely wreck you in an argument
Cameron was good at that too! Quick witty responses!
So very well said, sir!
eh if it was a debate where it wasnt about being in a room of people who agree with you but only logical arguments could be made instead of her strawmanning, i dont think she could debate any intellectual in the socialist world. She probably couldnt debate successfully just a post grad. She strawmanned the socialist argument then fed off the crowd the whole time.
@@florida12341000 you think socialism is better than capitalism?
@@yadadi4438 I think capitalism has run its course and did its job but it’s time to move past it. Socialism is the only real, viable answer we have right now but if something else is thought up then that would be fine. The underlining issue with capitalism is allowing for the same relationship we had back with slavery and feudalism to still be allowed and promoted. Slave/master, serf/lord, employee/employer. Same game, different name. It’s time to not allow abuse of labor and for everyone to get what they earned and worked for.
She didn’t need feminism or tittle 9 or all those stupid laws , pure merit. Total respect.
Without feminism she would have never reached the stature she did. This comment makes no sense.
Feminism is no longer about women rather about other feminist and challenging the musculinity of men. In my opion, this wave is toxic.
Amen. She was the iron lady and all the while, a lady. I so respect her for that. No gender confusion there.
@@courtney2823 She didn't need feminism. She was her own person.
@hohohoho Amen to that.
The actual queen of UK🇬🇧 is not Elizabeth the Second, she is Mommy Maggie👑!
Wow a woman with such determination as she making the alphas males laugh as well as her enemies. Really BGT then. But now all is lost.
omg when Thatcher would manage the Brexit :-)
You realise she campaigned for the UK to join the EEC, if she hadn't we probably would have left in the 70s
Skyebadoo well hence her comments about monetary policy and the central bank. She didn't intend for the current EU to rule Britain.
She campaigned to keep the UK IN Europe and signed the SEA in 1986 that paved the way for UK membership of the EU,so no,your statement has no merit.
How? She's inside an urn. Do keep up.
@@Skyebadoo if the UK had voted Labour in 83,it wouldn't be in the current mess
"you can wipe the floor with these people" LUL
One of the greatest in British history.
I remember ma'am Meriam Defensor-Santiago.. She's also the IRON LADY OF ASIA...
When the British Parliament was still British.
What do you mean it still is
@@masterknife8423 Nah
@@firefly3196 Ok wise guy you tell me why it's no longer British
Curious what you mean by that there, Joppe.
when the british parliament wasnt like this: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA boi
British politics is definitely more lively than American....also looks like everyone shows up!!
Only for the important stuff.
It was her last day in parliament so she had a full house. A formidable woman whether you liked her or not. Back in the day it was Reagan & Thatcher. Very soon it will be Boris & Kamala 🥱
@@SM-cz5od dont compare reagen and thatcher to those clowns plsssss 😭
@@RKhere97. Sorry. I meant to point out how low we have sunk
Yeah Presidential system sucks
This is pure gold
We need a Maggie more now than ever.
Is she a feminist? No.
Is she a good female PM? No.
She is a good PM, that’s it, she doesn’t represent feminists. She shows what it should look like to be a PM.
She isn't a good pm
She fucked the country and made the rich richer. That's all.
(claps ecstatically) HERE, HERE!!!!!!
Ironically, she's the most feminist leader, because she doesn't think she's any different than a regular PM for being a woman. That's what true feminism is about, not whatever Hillary Clinton was doing.
She represented the tory party. That is all.
