I wrote a letter to Prime Minister Thatcher when she was in office. I got a letter back from her. Was so cool. What a nice lady she was. She was probably the only positive woman in my teenage years. If there were others they didn't stand out as much is she.
It was so long ago I don't even recall what I wrote her but I thought it was great that she responded to my email with the official state letterhead and her picture.Kyle Bruce
@@kevinlongman007 Thats one example, not always! Apart from that which she did admit afterwards wasnt quite correct she was the greatest PM since Churchill. She had the balls to say yes! But she had even bigger balls when she said NO NO NO! She kept the scurge of socialism out of our great nation and that itself was courageous and absolutely CORRECT then and now and always will be!
@@cragerzz many of her own ministers and advisors said she had become too autocratic by the time she was ousted and her inability to admit when she was wrong was one of the main reasons that her own party got rid of her.
The 'ideology was supported by intellect, wise thinking and a vast comprehension of the value of the West and what it then meant to the world. it was no dissociated irrational 'ideology'.
She was not a dear lady to those who happened to be poor and had to pay the full amount of the poll tax. She was the real embodiment of the "nasty party".
She was right about the ANC... believe me. I was born the month before she resigned. In South Africa. And the ANC has been as apallingly disgusting as Lady Thatcher predicted.
It's very difficult to transform attitudes and habits! I think Maggie did exactly that or at least made an attempt in that direction! The British traditionalists are not easy to change. LEFT would argue that she tried to change people on her own terms and conditions, and that is what made her so unpopular. The only other politician who comes to my mind is Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore.
Neil Kinnock never says no to an interview on the subject of Margaret Thatcher, always with a view to bashing her or diminishing her reputation. Neil, you're a historical irrelevance and you won't even merit a footnote. Give up.
Not easy for women: had she been less feminine they would have insulted her for being too masculine. Being more on the feminine side she was a great “flirt” and USED her femininity. Make your mind up, guys, you cannot play both fields.
Say what you will of Neil Kinnock, but he has aged extremely well. He somehow looks younger today (well, in 2013) than he did when he was speaking about Mandela.
Frankly speaking the Prime Minister should have at least one maid to do the cooking and cleaning. Her or hourly is expensive and it's not unreasonable do one helper to do some of the work for her brain to do the work of the Prime Minister.
If she were alive today, they’d be no dinghy divers crossing the channel, you can be sure of that. A woman that stood for her country! These days Parliament is full of no hopers
I didn’t agree with thatcher and her economic policies in particular. 1 thing I would say even though I didn’t agree with her she had more balls than any other male politician.
She positively _thrived_ on the power she had, after her cabinet turning on her and losing all that she seemed a very different person indeed, it was rather perplexing to see, but not without it's satisfactions...
How can some one say this is the best prime minister weve had ?.She wrecked Scotland and England with her ways thats how the country is in such a state today.When she closed all our steel works and the mines Ok..they were costing money,she never invested that money she was saving in trainning our young people of that time. We are a country of pen pushers now and call centres.We have to import trades men from other countries as well as doctors and nurses as our own people are not trained in anything.She is hated among the working class here in Scotland and the north of England.If there wasnt more people in England than in Scotland she would have never been voted in and the time she was in power she did nothing but cause poverty,of coarse thats the Tories for you look around you its happening today again....GRrrrr.
It's a very narrow view to think steel and similar industries died because of her. They were industries stuck in the past and already dying, it was a shame for the workers, but it was survival of the most resilient economies
They say she became more queenly later. Well, the Queen was born royal, MT had risen to power on her own. I think she had good reason to be proud.
You see always how dignified she was in public and how compassionate and maternal in private. Wonderful personality
Edoardo Pesce - Yes...”wonderful”...

What did you write to her? What did she reply? Just kidding.....
I second Romain's question. I'd love to know if you'd be so kind as to share, although understand if you'd rather it remained private
It was so long ago I don't even recall what I wrote her but I thought it was great that she responded to my email with the official state letterhead and her picture.Kyle Bruce
she was right of saying ,,at the end of the day ,she and her husband are together,her best friend and confidant ...that's sweet
Oh,she was really wise woman,her style and maners were really excellent.Its hard to overstimate her role in the development of Great Britain.
Ірина Гикава Fuck off back to Russia then
The point is that she had an ideology backbone : even painful decisions came with a reason.
Yes but she always thought she was right even when she was wrong for example over the Poll Tax.

UK parliamentary debates look and sound like 2 pecks of dogs barking at each other.
Love or hate her one has to admit she was brilliant
a brave woman indeed
Kinnock turned down whisky from her? How pathetic.
Wonderful lady. Best
Prime Minister we ever had
Agreed.... she liked Blair. Stood up for him when all abandoned him
Made Britain proud
Extraordinary woman!
Oh I really enjoyed this so much! Thanks for sharing. R.I.P dear Lady T
She was not a dear lady to those who happened to be poor and had to pay the full amount of the poll tax. She was the real embodiment of the "nasty party".
Lady T is the best PM the Britain ever has.
Michael Pu brilliant woman
Fact.
God bless her and Denis. Such an adorable couple
Kinnock was always a small man in every sense.
Look around you at the country the UK is today. This is the country Thatcher built.
That is how she should be judged by history.
May Thatcherism live on, may we all get opportunities in life. Merit not status is the key to success. Rest in peace MT
She was right about the ANC... believe me. I was born the month before she resigned. In South Africa. And the ANC has been as apallingly disgusting as Lady Thatcher predicted.
Britain could do with her running the show this year.
Great lady
She had bigger balls than any of the men in her cabinet put together. A truly remarkable gutsy woman.
She is very likely the reason why we don't pay union fees to use the internet today!!

A great PM
Very clever woman and Gorbachev was in love with her
PRAVDA ❤️
Gorbachov loved only Raissa.
Loved how Rainbow High played there (although I prefer the original Broadway version rather than the movie version)
It's from the musical Evita. A story about a dictatorship. Quite appropriate.
Kinnock turned corporate...
To rule is the job of the Prime minister and she did rule
She was very feminine yet strong 💪
Definitely, femininity is not weakness. It's a different form of strength.
she was unique.. we will never see her like again.....she would have made a great queen....kinnock was a total bell end
One of the best of the best prime minister
And in retrospect she was right about the ANC.
nothing is keeping the haters from watching another video!
Not easy for women:
had she been less feminine they would have insulted her for being too masculine.
Being more on the feminine side she was a great “flirt” and USED her femininity.

2:00 - There may have been in your day, Grandpa...but in Anno Domini MMXXIII such a commodity as courtesy - nay, even civility - is ☠️.
10:18 , Is that a shot of the "Iron Lady" under a painting of Wellington ? (the iron duke) ?
Thats hardly an accident.
Lots of tea in 10 minutes.
@5:29 Swiss Nescafé Gold. Just the best. What else ... 😄
She dismantled the entire country. She had no soul.
Say what you will of Neil Kinnock, but he has aged extremely well. He somehow looks younger today (well, in 2013) than he did when he was speaking about Mandela.
We need more leaders like her!
Neal always knelt!
Frankly speaking the Prime Minister should have at least one maid to do the cooking and cleaning. Her or hourly is expensive and it's not unreasonable do one helper to do some of the work for her brain to do the work of the Prime Minister.
Barbara Castle would have bested her. It would have been wonderful to see them debate
มีที่อยู่สบาย

4:36 Why should she, to promote women is not to moan about it and expect better treatment...
Meryl Streep ?? Which movie is this ?

Best night out in my life when her light went out. 🏴
She positively _thrived_ on the power she had, after her cabinet turning on her and losing all that she seemed a very different person indeed, it was rather perplexing to see, but not without it's satisfactions...

How can some one say this is the best prime minister weve had ?.She wrecked Scotland and England
with her ways thats how the country is in such a state today.When she closed all our steel works and the mines
Ok..they were costing money,she never invested that money she was saving in trainning our young people of that time.
We are a country of pen pushers now and call centres.We have to import trades men from other countries as well
as doctors and nurses as our own people are not trained in anything.She is hated among the working class here in
Scotland and the north of England.If there wasnt more people in England than in Scotland she would have never
been voted in and the time she was in power she did nothing but cause poverty,of coarse thats the Tories for you look
around you its happening today again....GRrrrr.
It's a very narrow view to think steel and similar industries died because of her. They were industries stuck in the past and already dying, it was a shame for the workers, but it was survival of the most resilient economies
she’s still dead tho 🥳
On balance....bad woman.
Y stupid
