Margaret Thatcher meeting with U.S. President, Ronald Reagan

[sexckatxx]

It sounds really funny when she says 'They live next door at number 11' like they are just regular people.

[baldwintexas]

@UDSS - it's obvious you don't like either of them - so why are you trolling videos on youtube to post things about people you don't like? Why don't you view things you do like, and let those of who like this stuff, view it in peace.

[bmbutler2]

UDSS, you need to become educated.

[UDSS]

Two of the worst leaders. Ronald Reagan and Thatcher. Right-wing people love her for her war on workers and trade unions. The capitalists loved her for the low taxes they had to pay under her.

But ordinary people had nothing to gain.

[FadeToBlack888]

@UDSS so ordinary people dont pay taxes then?

[bored1980]

How did the protesters get the time off work? ...oh, right.

[AnthonyJPiccione]

Thatcher seemed like she was a LOT more intelligent than Reagan.

[folladordeprostis]

@AnthonyJPiccione at least Thatcher is pro-choice and does not deny evolution

[PadrethePio]

She's giving us a sort of commentary... "They live next door, number 11" haha

[brendanmcwilliams]

I wonder if Reagan and Thatcher had wish they had met before they committed to marriage?

They are both in the Ayn Rand school of thought, so likely comparable to Galt and Taggard. I wonder if they ever considered this?

[MrMrmike5]

@brendanmcwilliams Both Reagan and Thatcher were deeply in love with their spouses so i dont think it would have worked out lol

[MrMdjmeredith]

Margaret Thatcher is a conviction politician and a patriotic one, pity she's not in office now :(

[ttiiyy]

What were those protesters yelling about?

[GoldenLegends100]

@ttiiyy who cares! All protestors are left wing sewer rats.  The way to deal with them is ignore them.

[ttiiyy]

@GoldenLegends100 Well, I kind of disagree. Not all protestors are bad. I'm sure when nasty Muslims go on the street to insult the British Army, patriotic Britons will go on the streets to counter those Muslims as well.

I'm simply curious about what issues that might be upsetting these Britons.

I will ignore them if they're just Muslims.  However, some of them are Anglos. It might be over some public policy issues.

Thatcher is a controversial figure who seems to like nuclear weapons.

[ttiiyy]

@GoldenLegends100 With all due respect, it makes no sense to call all protestors left wing sewer rats. I'm sure right wing Britons go on the street to protest every now and then.

[GoldenLegends100]

@ttiiyy interesting you should say that. Right Wing supporters never protest on the streets! Look back through British modern history - it is alway the left.

[ttiiyy]

@GoldenLegends100 You're wrong. I have seen plenty of videos where right wing Britons protested on the streets. Remember the ones where crazy Muslim scums went on the streets to protest against the army and all the right wing Britons were standing on the opposite yelling back? Sure it's Muslims that started the whole thing, but patriotic Britons also participated in that protest.

Don't demonize protestors. You know what I mean. A protest with a great cause is a good thing.

[GoldenLegends100]

@ttiiyy No - you are wrong there. You are thinking of the EDL (English Defence League). They are racists thugs who have nothing to do with politics. Similar to The National Front, Combat 18 and worse still the KKK. Don't get proper conservatives mixed up with people like that.

[ttiiyy]

@GoldenLegends100 You MISUNDERSTOOD me. Relax. My point is I have seen conservative Britons go on the streets to protest for great cause (such as defending British soldiers coming home while stupid Muslims are bashing these brave men).

Regarding the skinheads, as I said, it's an UNRELATED topic. I'm not confusing the two. I'm just really curious about how radical skinheads can be in Britain. The skinheads in the US are pretty bad....

[ttiiyy]

@GoldenLegends100 Don't worry, as a concersative myself, I will NEVER want to associate myself with other crazy racists, either. So I won't make that mistake (as I said, it's an unrelated topic regarding skinheads in Britain).

My point is: conservatives do protest as well. So there's no reason to brand all protestors as bad people. When the government gets too corrupt, brave civilians should go on the street to express anger and force the government to spend money more responsibly.

[ttiiyy]

@GoldenLegends100 I don't think all protestors are bad people. Conservatives in the US often go on the streets to protest against excessive tax policies in a very peaceful manner.

So I always try to avoid branding all protestors. Of course, you are also right that sometimes some protestors could indeed be some crazy radical/communist rats that just want the free lunch without hard work.

In this video though, I could not fully understand what the protestors were asking Ronald Reagan.

[folladordeprostis]

@ttiiyy they were protesting his support of contras and right wingers death squads in central america

[ttiiyy]

@GoldenLegends100 On a completely unrelated topic, just out of curiosity, do you consider racist skindheads right wing supporters?

[GoldenLegends100]

@ttiiyy I would say racist skinheads who use violence and intimidation against black and asian people, don't appear anywhere on the political compass. They are so right, they are off the page. I'm not one of them. I am a proper hard right conservative.

[unrealharry]

These two were marvelous

[aaoppe]

That's what I call superior quality footage. Hard to believe this is more or less 25 years old...

[NickGreenwood100]

@Thelceman567 Reagan out! Reagan out!

[Marksnotebook]

@NickGreenwood100 What a wonderful President reagan was in that he inherited a horrible mess--20 percent interest rates for starters! Thatcher was another great Iron Lady. Today we have an illegal kenyan in the White house who hates whites along with his big fat wife. God I'm so embarrassed along with so many millions of other Americans today about Dumbo BO--ooops---Obama.

[DiverseLA]

@Marksnotebook You're projecting your racism on to Obama. Obama doesn't hate whites, and you have no evidence that he does. You're a race-baiter and a racist.

You can't stand the fact that a black guy is President. He wasn't born in Kenya either, you disgusting bigot.

[ttiiyy]

@DiverseLA It's not fair to accuse Obama of being anti-whites. However, some of his supporters are a bit controversial. Some black pastors don't seem to like white people too much. Look, I am disgusted by some racist white people as well (I'm asian, and I have had my share of discrimination). However, when blacks try to fight back and start to make deragotary remarks about white people, both sides get hurt. Sometimes, some black activists are just not helping.

[ttiiyy]

@DiverseLA For example, in California, there's a black killer that killed several unarmed non-black citizens. Some black "civil rights" activists went on streets to protest and urge Arnold (a greedy scum by the way) to pardon that black killer so that he would not be executed.

This kind of protest actually hurts the image of the black community. If a white man killes 5 unarmed people, who in the world will defind him?

A killer is just a killer, REGARDLESS of race.

[ttiiyy]

@DiverseLA It really drives me crazy that some people on both sides (Republicans and Democrats) just won't let go the race factor. Look at Charles Rangel. How can ANYONE with a decent brain defend this corrupt piece of shit? I have nothing against black politicians. But why can't the voters support another African American politician?

[TheIceman567]

What are the people chanting?
