  • 45 people don't know what socialism did for Britain in the 1970's.

  • She had an intellectual integrity and unwavering vision that politicians today would do well to learn from. Thank you, Thatcher, for standing in the gap in your day.

  • Great lady, certainly the best Prime Minister this country has ever had, she rescued our economy from decline, brought from the socialist ideology and the trade union scum. Today, many people say that they support socialism, but they do not know what it really is, it is a good ideology, but once considering the history of it in practice, we can see that it is not a credible economic principle. From 1970-74, Britain was held to ransom by the self-centered unions, from 74=79, it was lead by them.

  • @57595153Nick The poll tax was seen as a community tax, which meant that everyone regardless of income has to pay an equal share for living here and receiving the basic public services they all needed e.g. refuge collecting.

  • I'm not British, neither was I even born yet when Thatcher was PM. Could someone give me an educated response to this question: Why did Thatcher bring about the poll tax? What was the reason for it? - Any educated response (not one that's just going to say 'because she's stupid') but an educated answer would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

  • @PortVienna80 more likely is 46 people live in the north, where manufacturing is now dead, and thus sky high unemployment. if you saw what thatcher did to places like liverpool and yorkshire then you wouldn't support her.

  • she speaks of freedom...you have the freedom, under a consevative gov. to be poor, unemplyed, stagnate wages, no hope of healthcare (at lwat in the U.S.), allowed to be sacked by your employer when they see fit to allow them to make more money..oh yes..consevatic=ves allow you your FREEDOM indeed!! when poor and middle class threaten strike, it is to allow them more of wht the wealty have. when the wealthy obtain greater wealth, it's justified, the poor ask for it, it's called socialism!

  • i salute you maggie thatcher! with my middle finger!

  • The female Gordon Gekko.

  • @matchbox555 too bad....greed is good and the unions were crushed....a wonderful time

  • She has such a soothing voice.

    No joke btw, its really calming
