I am a humble, uneducated Japanese so I know nothing about Britain. I would like to ask people who are on top of the history of Britain and on her politics this question - if Mrs Thatcher, now Lady Thatcher, did not behave regally and did not bring up the idea of community charge or poll tax, would she have served till the end of her term?

[123HMatty]

@tnakai1971jp i don't think her behaving regally mattered so much, the only people who would only oppose her for that would only vote Labour anyway. But i do think that if she never did the poll tax and maybe relaxed over Europe she could definitely have served the end of her term and perhaps won a fourth election.

@123HMatty

Thank you for your reply. Fourth election - that would have been amazing. 16 years or 14 years of Mrs Thatcher, as she hinted in her memoir that she had an idea about stepping down two years after forth term. I don't think anyone went out in streets to take part in riots over Europe, but many did on Poll Tax. I heard that the killing message was this - "that woman is making a OAP pay as much as a duke". Would you agree with that assessment?

[123HMatty]

@tnakai1971jp definitely, the whole idea of the poll tax was to remove the link between your house size and your tax bill. Essentially everyone payed the same ammount of tax. Which I think is fair to be honest, but understandably a lot of people didn't like the idea of paying the same ammount of tax as the queen :P

@123HMatty

I see, so she gave an impression to the nation that she was promoting deliberate damages to the poor in the pretence of "fairness".

I know very little about Britain but I think, in a country like Britain, being fair is not about everyone paying the same in absolute terms, but everyone paying the amount reasonable for his or her financial base.

Now, Mrs Thatcher is a very smart woman so she knew what sort of fairness could be accepted by the nation. Yet, she tried to force it.

[123HMatty]

@tnakai1971jp the point you made is the point that people who opposed it said, that its better to pay what you can. But its important to remember that the taxation system in Britain hasn't changed for about 200 years, i think she just wanted to try and modernise it. Also its important to remember that because of her economic policy, people were (on average) earning much more, so people could afford slightly higher taxes.

@123HMatty

I have been reading her famous memoir which came out shortly after her resignation. I get a strong impression that she "thought" that the elites in Britain had developed some kind of mixture of guilt for being well off and compassion for the poor obliged as a result of being born into the right class.

She appeared to have believed that it was that attitude which had allowed British workers to assume too much and managers and directors to expect less from their workers.

[123HMatty]

@tnakai1971jp she did. When she first came into power most workers were on strike, and Britain was called the "sick man of Europe". The problem was that people wanted the perks and tax relief of richer countries, but without working hard enough to deserve them. She saw that other governments tried to sugar-coat their policies to try and stop this and it didn't work, so she got tough and tried to force this laziness out of people - You can tell that by listening to her speak.

The DNA of the race does not change overnight, if ever. Lady Thatcher tried to preserve everything that was good about the British and resurrect everything that was good about the British to make Britain better, stronger and richer. This, I strongly detect from the footage I see on Youtube and in her memoirs.

The cynicism and good old English sense of humour tell us so much about the forte of the British. And Britain has done almost the best she could. But her rivals also improved.

I like how they make it seem she wanders round her garden and plays with the dog in a designer outfit...

[Killerlady09]

Well, I think that Magareth Thatcher had been a very fair and hard Lady! I like her very much because she fought for the rights of England and her own rights!! One day I want to get such a person like Magareth Thatcher

[rossmacca1]

[poossum12345]

I love the look on Dennis' face when Maggie says 'We'll go to Cornwall again'

[S9KSY]

Let's clone her then

[jnseamus]

We could do with another Maggie right now - things have almost gone full circle!

[Luvmypets123]

Thatcher never bothered with her kids and her husband was an alcoholic.

[charlieiscool1000]

How do you know what she was like with her kids did u live in the same house as her that’s a bald statement to make even if it is old.

[Jakem2407]
