Absolutely.

It's almost prevaricating on behalf of the questioner, and the answers being the clarification. That's the running theme of this entire interview.

Ai Zhongguo She is the second prime minister to whose funeral went the Queen, besides Churchill. The UK is a very different place, and she turned it from being 'The Sick Man of Europe' back into a healthy economy. Sure, there were people that hated her, but that does not take away that she was very influential.

[@aizhongguo5812]

jpnarino Yes she was influential but then so was Hitler. Every British PM is influential. That didn't stop her colleagues from getting rid of her. She had a state funeral because she died under a Conservative government. Yes, during times of cuts when money could not be found for anything, £10,000,000 was pulled out of a hat. God only knows what public services perished in order to fund it. The head of state will always attend state funerals, that's kind of obvious. The Queen would have little choice on the matter, its part of her duties. She was removed from power by her 'friends' because she was a liability. In other words, the British public did not want her in power. That's hardly the stuff of legends.

Ai Zhongguo She was highly influential, more than other PMs in 20th century except Churchill. She did not have a state funeral by her own wish. The Queen went because she wanted, as it was not a state funeral. A big part of the funeral costs were paid by her family, and the estimate of her funeral cost for the state was more on £3,000,000, not 10 millions. She was removed from power due to her strong opposition to Europe, and her confrontational style with her own party. Altough she pissed some people off, in general the public in the UK liked her and voted for her, don't forget she is the only prime minister also to win 3 elections. Just get your facts straight!

jpnarino I wouldn't even argue with that moron who is fucking daft. Apparently that shit-for-brains thinks that garbage piling up on the streets and bodies not being buried in 1979 pre-Thatcher is its idea of fucking paradise.

[@PC1974]

She didn't resign, she was kicked out by her own cowardly party.

[@gmaglio]

She does a great Gillian Anderson imitation!

[@jillianwebb-sear8803]

Great comment

[@rareads]

This interview is heavily edited especially after Thatcher put her back down a peg or two

[@unconventionalideas5683]

When was this interview conducted?

[@jeanalarson3108]

1995

[@dianacrainiciuc8440]

7:16 "I don't believe in discussing these things in that kind of detail."

[@ivovalchev8050]

It's one of the worst interviews Ive ever watched indeed. A jump? Is it the thing for which you go and interview one of the greatest political leaders ever?! I don't believe that the interviewer understands at all the questions she asked, nor the British political system, nor the Thatcher years. A jump..........

[@kostasyfantis]

Also, I really wonder why they decided to add the part from 2:06 to 2:27 where Maggie asks the background to be fixed. I can speculate but really they should not have included it because it's not Maggie that looks bad but the producers and the journalist.

[@AnthonyKingUK]

They bit off more than they could chew... in the end, they were the ones chewed up and spat out! Their usual tricks didn't work 😂 How naive to think that they actually had a chance to embarrass Margaret Thatcher. Lowbrow and low IQ operation comprehensively swept aside by a great. Shameless.

[@ChainNonSmoker]

Don't forget this was probably done in 90's or early 00's and for Swedish - mostly nordic social democratic audience which has neither tory or labour type of political view, and as u said don't completely understand the British system but see it from their own perspective. So I reckon it's not overly critical or defensive towards Thatcher but rather out of the joy of having THE BIG interview of the famous Mrs. Prime Minister for the national TV at the time.

[@parmindersinghsidhu4734]

She had a Great personality but she was also uncaring at times. I do like the way she speaks her mind and not scared to upset people.

Honoured and brilliant

Maggie was still on top form here, loved her taking her down

Wow What a good interview. Thatcher at her best/ worst . Loved it

[@EnEvighet7]

On bahalf of a large part of the Swedish people (unfortunately not the majority) I can only apologize for this ridiculous request made by one of our leading journalists. Swedish journalists are mostly idiots, and Stina Dabrowski is obviously no exception. "Gorbachev did it" she said, as if she was trying to convince a child...

[@catprincess9]

+EnEvighet7 HAHA!

[@Feskochsnus]

vad var det för dumt med det? Det var ju bara för häxan att vägra. Det gav nog dessutom bra reklam för henne. De som gillar Thatcher är sådana som gillar konservativa kärringar. Det var den bästa fråga Thatcher kunde få. Hon fick chansen att visa upp sin stela, tråkiga, bajsnödiga sida, som hennes anhängare kallar integritet, seriositet osv.

[@BlytheWorld1972]

i could not believe she could reduced this interview to a joke by asking a lady of this high class to jump disgusting really .
