Such is the cycle of British politics, Labour comes in, spends until we're broke. Conservatives comes in, fixes the financial mess. Get unpopular then lose to Labour. Cycle begins again.
Lib Dems??? I'm not going to waste words on the Lib Dems.
I love you Margaret. If only Britain had a leader like you today, we might return to a time of prosperity for all and not making the poor poorer and the rich poorer.
Extremely gifted orator & giant on the world stage. She was rightly a fierce defender of the free market & many will wish they'd listened more intently to her views on the single currency, most prescient. None of this excuses her apparent contempt for the working class, the lack of will to regenerate & create opportunities in the industrial cities (in the north east & southern Wales in particular) & her utter disregard for the importance of social cohesion. Strong? Sure. Wise? Not always.
Britain needs her back? .....EUROPE NEEDS HER BACK! She predicted the Euro collapse 20 years ago and that the smaller countries (like here in Ireland) would suffer.
I think that she was a great! Real balls and attitude. Whether her policies were right or wrong for the country, she stood and defended them!! Hats off to you mrs T..
And I'll tell you who liked her besides city boys - small businesspeople and anyone working class who wanted more than life on a council estate. The left tell you they'll make poverty more comfortable and drag rich people down closer to your level, which suits the bitter and unambitious. Thatcher said, work hard and we'll make it easier to better yourself and your family. The left doesn't understand the appeal of that, being mostly the liberal middle class.
First of all, everything Thatcher sold off was once private and had been nationalised. She didn't sell off the railways, she opposed that since there could be no competition, it was Major who thought that was a good idea, along with Maastricht!
As for the unions, which of their powers she removed should be returned? Closed shops? Spanish practises? Flying pickets? Wildcat strikes?
I could continue this indefinitely but I am getting too emotional. Supporters of the Iron Lady think hard about your values. If you got rich you were either a city boy or new someone that was. Period. Everyone else suffered.
@MrGazzzwp get lost u moralising little man. u know nothing. and the fact that u paint every thatcher supporter as an uncaring millionaire shows just exactly what kind of nasty little person u are. its everything that u accuse her of.; its gutter politics of the very worst kind. u should b ashamed!
@thatcheritescot I wouldnt waste time on such people. Real Men/Women get up and do, They don't complain about others that have more money. Nothing is given Its always taken. The people who whine either dont know how to play the game or the meaning of hard graft
She promoted the spirit of greed. Deep divisions in the country 30 years later. She should have found a better way to deal with the unions instead of slash and burn policies. The country needs those resources now.
She sold off the country - Rail, electricity, gas, water, telephone. That has nothing to do with the spirit of the entrepreneur but everything to do with 'cut and run' and shear greed. The country still has not recovered. Most of it is now in the hands of foreign companies anyway. Despicable.
Whilst she was a bold, strong and gritty character, I still can't help but find her poisonous. Never have I seen such devastation in working class communities around the country. Putting hundreds of thousands out of jobs and reducing social spending in housing as well as other areas was unforgivable - at times I would say inhumane.
Point of Order Mr Speaker ... This wasn't prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) but a Motion of No Confidence brought by Kinnoch and Labour trying to maximise on the election of a Tory leader to replace Thatcher. They lost the Motion and the next election. Thatcher was a one off ..like her or loathe her she had principles and stuck to them and she made Britain Great again. And what no one knew was she sent a hand written personal letter to every family bereaved in the Falklands war. That is Class.
this is how politics should be not this pissy little backstabbing and sniping like we have in australia i reckon this is what julia gillard thought she would be like trouble is she's too spineless
This is Thatcher on fire!! Whether you loved her or hated her, the politicians of today are weak, incapable, inexperienced and incompetent without a shadow of a doubt. The only politician that came close was Blair but Iraq was his downfall. Cameron / Clegg / Milliband...all a waste of space and time and will do nothing for the UK or Gt Britain.
Her principles were good, she did good and bad. I hate the tory idea to privatise everything, and that twat cameron should be shot for what he done to our once glorious army.
excellent!! brass balls, more than that she knew exactly what she was doing and could fire back at any backlash, there will be nobody like her to get the counrty out of the state that it is in now, she paid off debt, and now we are yet again having to go into wars we have nothing to do with because after her we went straight back into debt!!
I watched this live. THAT was leadership. This still brings a lump to my throat. Britain was in an absolute mess before her Premiership with an economy 65% the size of France. Now it is 5% bigger. Where would we be today if she had not been Prime Minister? Impoverished, ignored and still living under the Soviet Threat.
As a Labour supporter, I cannot believe this obsession from conservatives over national debt. No country ever faced economic hardship because ofa large debt. I also believe, like most liberals and left-wing people, that it is morally insane to cap benefits at £26, 000 per year. Plus, what is this obsession with immigration?We need people to do work here. Also, I am so proud that Parliament stopped the people having a say on the UK's EU membership.The people need directing by politicians.
Sorry to sound harsh; I just watched 'The Iron Lady' and actually felt extremely sorry for her to the point of tears. She belonged to the old school of politicians where autocracy was the order of the day, Shame to see her lose all at the end of her life. No one can argue however with the way she divided the country; yes the unions had to be dealt with but putting hundreds of thousands of people out of work with nothing to put in it's placed was evil. National opinion will always be V mixed.
Every opposition question hits it's target like an exocet missile; they are all true. Selling off council houses was shameful; selling off public assets that virtually all now belong to non British companies was shameful; the poll tax was shameful etc etc etc. Yes winning the Falklands back was a success; without North Sea oil revenue, I believe her rule would have worked out very differently indeed. She caused an enormous amount of hardship, the legacy of which is still keenly felt today.
@gazzzwp funny how not one thing u mentioned in your comment had anything to do with her downfall and none of it was reversed under labour. must hurt to know she won the big battles
@gazzzwp wtf buddy... just typing words with no rhyme or reason. I don't know how to say it but in this life you either will try to make it or hold your hand out for somebody to feed you. She stood unashamedly for the people that don't make excuses or ask for handouts - what are you stading for? I don't think you understand the question... that's where the sadness of the problem starts.
¿Sorprende realmente la actitud hostil del Gobierno Inglés con respecto a las Islas Malvinas...? No, porque si observamos los acontecimientos virulentos y desestabilizadores que se vienen sucediendo en los ultimos 2 años alrededor del mundo, promovidos y protagonizados por la O.T.A.N. (EE.UU. e INGLATERRA) en países con grandes reservas petroleras y gasiferas como por ejemplo Egipto, Tunez, Libia y Siria coinciden con LA PEOR CRISIS ECONOMICA MUNDIAL de los ultimos 30 años por lo menos.....
Gobierno inglés? Inglaterra miembro de la OTAN? El gobierno BRITANICO hace lo que tiene que hacer cuando un pais como Argentina (o cualquier otro) obstaculiza el libre comercio entre naciones con acciones totalmente ajenas al derecho maritimo. El REINO UNIDO DE GRAN BRETAÑA, pais integrante de la OTAN siempre defenderá el derecho de sus ciudadanos a decidir su futuro, como cualquier pais civilizado. Argentina está tardando un pocquito en darse cuenta de hecho.
@Erech01 Its an absolutely pristine portrayal of her. Streep absolutely nails it. But it does sort of display her as a heroine when all she was is strong when we needed her (I am a thatcherite)
i cant say i have a opinion on how she ran our county i was not born at the time but i say i do say i like her as a person she sames like she would have done anything thing for our England not like the pussy farts from tony and on .
@RhythmicRampage she sold everything the country owns so to balance the books and we now all have to pay much more for them services, she fooked us up for her industrial links to be better off
I remember watching this on CSPAN back when they were showing UK parliamentary debates on American television on Sunday evenings, and thinking, how on earth could her colleagues undermine one of the twentieth century's most heroic leaders. What a gallant swan song for a remarkable career.
For people thinking Thatcer was rich person. She was not. She worked very hard to get to the top and did everything she could for England. She did things, not because they were popular, but what was right and needed to be done.
@LittleImpaler Indeed and she solf off counsel houses because people could afford to buy them and wanted to do renovations and extentions etc so they were free and people didn't want them state run! She did not sell them to make people poorer!! People fail to remember or think!
I am part English and she makes me proud to be English. What fighting spirit. This is being English is all about. When the going gets tough, stiffen that upper lip and stand strong. England should thank her, for she saved them from not being part of the EU.
People should really read around Thatchers motives rather than listening to the opinions of the uneducated and ignorant. She did actually have the best interests of this country at heart. What would people have preferred, endless strikes, a moribund economy teetering on the verge of bancruptsy? She didn't always get it right but compared to Blair and Brown she was magnificent. What are we now as a nation...... we're a nothing - that's what, because Labour sold it all on the cheap!
@iBeep2009 even if it was creeping in, which it clearly was not, she still did it better than u could... get back under your rock u sniveling little coward. lets hope no one in your family ever gets unwell in old age
They couldnt wait to get her out of power, she was stornch.No central bank no EU NO NO NO.True conservetive/Liberterian.Free market.Labour are socialist sell outs And need to be whiped out forever.Hopefully cameron will pull threw like thatcher for England as will Ron paul for usa
@hgal76 as it says in the description.... the full speech can b viewed on my channel. honestly if u r going to moan about a video at least do some research..... lets face it. u dont care about the speech. u just hate thatcher and had to post a nasty little comment. its her most famous speech. its not hard to find
Her mind is just like a super mainframe computer with all perfectly indexed and sorted library of files and documents. She can pull any records within split seconds and use them as a weapon to the opposition. She's a rare talent and most respected lady, at least to me.
@cindylim57 She was a puppet, she was manipulated to do what she did by having her strings pulled from above, she wasn't controlling this country anymore than reagan was controlling america. Lots of people have computer like brain's, have you researched david icke ?
@rodjames98 sorry, but you rule yourself out of any reasonable and balanced conversation once you start using the words "puppet" and "David Icke" in the same sentence. I have sufficient intellect to see David Icke's diatribes for what they are - the confused and rather sad ramblings of a man who never recovered properly from a well-documented nervous breakdown in the late 80s. Why is it that your "intellect" isn't capable of seeing him for what he is (unwell) and isn't (prophetic)?
Unfortunately, she didn't do much with style. She was an ideologue that was eventually ousted by her own party. Thatcher acolytes tend to forget the absurd boom and bust of the 80's, the millions unemployed, the destruction of communities during the miners strike and the use of the police as her own militant wing, areas of the UK that have never recovered from her policies and descended into poverty and infact creating a climate where individual borrowing was positively encouraged.
She was Britain second best prime minister after Churchill. Even 2days labor candidate Ed Milliband has agreed that we shouldn't have fought her policies and she made Britain a better place.
the best leader this country ever had! we could do with someone with this backbone in power now, instead we have put up with 13 years of labour/socialist rubbish that has left this country in debt, which once again the conservatives are having to sort out (see 1979 all over again - labour scum!)
@ukforever2012 Thatcher has expressed her admiration for Tony Blair on a few occasions. The UK is in debt due to a GFC along with many other countries and some might say was a by product of Moneterist policies (the market knows best) that Thatcher introduced to the UK (along with the end of commitment to full employment and horrendous villification of the unemployed that she created!) Get your facts right before spewing your ignorant bile.
I'm not a British citizen, but I have a great respect towards her...there maybe certain policies that she does that doesn't agree with the people, but at least she has great enthusiast and passion to help the nation...after all, there are no leaders in the world that is 100% loved by his/her people...I may be wrong, but, that's solely my opinion about it...thanks...
That's a pathetic response. When you have no answers, just shout loudly, use obscenity and insult everyone. Marxism is morally, ethically and financially bankrupt: no wonder it has never "been put in" (although - typical for your sort - you choose to ignore the utter disaster that is Marxist-Leninist Cuba). Pathetic. Just pathetic. I'm guessing you're 17 and have a poster of Che on your wall.
Right, you lot. First off, if you want to talk immoral, let's talk invading the Falklands, and getting rid off all those miners' jobs. Secondly, privatization ruined this country. Thirdly, I think you're getting mixed up in what Communism is. Communism = Marxism. The rest are accounted for by their respectful names, (Maoism, Bolshevism, Stalinism, ect) And as for it doesn't work, there's no proof, because Communism (which refers to Marxism) has never been put in. Sweaty bourgeoisie cunts...
Let's list all the countries that embrace communism and in which the general population is prosperous and above all happy: first there's.. ahm.. hold on, it'll come to me.. er.. wait a sec.. oh yes there's... no, that's not right, er...
@DesOptions LOL Spot on! Commuunism and Maxisum wouldn't work in this world, because the world is not perfect. These two system only work in a perfect world.
I well remember hearing that speech and thinking that she'd won the leadership election. I didn't dream for a second that she'd just been booted out by her own party after winning them 3 General Elections! A remarkable performance from a remarkable woman.
you do know we have a week spoiled litte rich boy for a leader so fat charce of us leaveing europe
to save this country we need a leader from someone no afaid to do what must be done and force the british people in to jobs they can do like strret cleaner and bin men cleaner
post if they wont get a job will get you one just say just do till you get a job you want
@got2lovepizza You just posted on another Thatcher video that rich people are rich because they work harder. Now you're criticizing the Prime Minister for being RICH. Are you mentally retarded?
After the wonderful intervention by Dennis Skinner, you can even see Labour front benchers (Gerald Faulfman MP QC for certain) appluading when a Tory MP shouts "you can wipe the floor with these people" and by golly, wipe the floor with them she did!!!
Thatcher was made for the House of Commons. She was made for the theatre. But I think in much of the attitudes towards her both at the time and after she left office, there is a good deal of myth and public persona that isn't quite the full story.
To everyone, and especially @TotalDance2011 We whooped Germanies ass in 2 world wars, (And others) We saved France's ass in 2 world wars, and beaten them in previous wars. I say let's get 'em, we have the REAL people on our side! Not nationalist socialists or Nazis as we say, we have the will and want of the nation, and that is more important!
How right and how relevant today - especially about the European Central Bank and EU and their undemocratic processes. In fact, I think the European Commission hates democracy - gets in the way of their power grab.
Lol, did you see John Major yawning behind her as she spoke? He was probably thinking "oh, c'mon, Maggie, just shut up already and let me take over!"

What are we now as a nation...... we're a nothing - that's what, because Labour sold it all on the cheap!

@rodjames98 sorry, but you rule yourself out of any reasonable and balanced conversation once you start using the words "puppet" and "David Icke" in the same sentence. I have sufficient intellect to see David Icke's diatribes for what they are - the confused and rather sad ramblings of a man who never recovered properly from a well-documented nervous breakdown in the late 80s. Why is it that your "intellect" isn't capable of seeing him for what he is (unwell) and isn't (prophetic)?

Unfortunately, she didn't do much with style. She was an ideologue that was eventually ousted by her own party. Thatcher acolytes tend to forget the absurd boom and bust of the 80's, the millions unemployed, the destruction of communities during the miners strike and the use of the police as her own militant wing, areas of the UK that have never recovered from her policies and descended into poverty and infact creating a climate where individual borrowing was positively encouraged.

She was Britain second best prime minister after Churchill. Even 2days labor candidate Ed Milliband has agreed that we shouldn't have fought her policies and she made Britain a better place.

ukforever2012 1 month ago
@ukforever2012 Thatcher has expressed her admiration for Tony Blair on a few occasions. The UK is in debt due to a GFC along with many other countries and some might say was a by product of Moneterist policies (the market knows best) that Thatcher introduced to the UK (along with the end of commitment to full employment and horrendous villification of the unemployed that she created!) Get your facts right before spewing your ignorant bile.
Easyandy100 1 month ago
I'm not a British citizen, but I have a great respect towards her...there maybe certain policies that she does that doesn't agree with the people, but at least she has great enthusiast and passion to help the nation...after all, there are no leaders in the world that is 100% loved by his/her people...I may be wrong, but, that's solely my opinion about it...thanks...

That's a pathetic response. When you have no answers, just shout loudly, use obscenity and insult everyone. Marxism is morally, ethically and financially bankrupt: no wonder it has never "been put in" (although - typical for your sort - you choose to ignore the utter disaster that is Marxist-Leninist Cuba). Pathetic. Just pathetic. I'm guessing you're 17 and have a poster of Che on your wall.

Right, you lot. First off, if you want to talk immoral, let's talk invading the Falklands, and getting rid off all those miners' jobs. Secondly, privatization ruined this country. Thirdly, I think you're getting mixed up in what Communism is. Communism = Marxism. The rest are accounted for by their respectful names, (Maoism, Bolshevism, Stalinism, ect) And as for it doesn't work, there's no proof, because Communism (which refers to Marxism) has never been put in. Sweaty bourgeoisie cunts...

Thatcher was made for the House of Commons. She was made for the theatre. But I think in much of the attitudes towards her both at the time and after she left office, there is a good deal of myth and public persona that isn't quite the full story.
