Margaret Thatcher - Thames Television - 1981 1983

[@Cullenjohnmichael]

I could listen to Margaret Thatcher all day. She is probably the most logical person I have ever heard speak. I’m from Scotland and most people here hate her but that’s because our education system is devoid of a good understanding of economics. What a shame. Rest in peace!

[@TeslaKuhn33]

she was always so diplomatic in her replies, though exceedingly difficult it must have been for her.

[@davidmanhart1]

What a great lady.....

[@TeslaKuhn33]

I thought her explanation of "the west" falling behind economically due to our refusal to embrace new technologies was also very convincing. I wish more people would understand the "buy local" concept as well.

God we need someone like you now Maggie. RIP to the best PM this country ever had.

[@independentpuppy7520]

+Ed Smith Yes. She wouldn't have let the country get in the mess it is now.

[@Natashahoneypot]

+Neal Wilson what did she do for you to say that?

This is what you call a leader. Who do we have now? Miliband? Cameron? Nothing on the stye of leadership Thatcher had. Whatever people's opinions are, this is what the UK needs right now!

[@-TRIPLE_A-]

Brilliant interviews. Maggie was clearly real and genuine in her beliefs, communicating them with such elegance - compared with today's career politicians she seems like a breath of fresh air, sadly now in the past. If only she hadn't given over power to the banks! It's strange that she did that given the rhetoric in the interviews - it seems her heart was in the right place, but maybe should have studied engineering to really understand what policies to introduce...

[@ginsoakedlawstudent]

I think she was amazing, imagine what she could have done for us during a time of boom

[@Muzzy68]

Her breadth of knowledge was incredible, these days we just hear evasion and bluster. She didn’t flinch when confronted. What a woman.

[@Cnd1867]

The professor and the woman in the red, when talking to Mrs. Thatcher about job creation, sounded as though they thought jobs could just be legislated in to existence. Thankfully on the other hand, Mrs. Thatcher was trying with all her might to explain to them that if British industry isn't competitive, they would start failing, and if they start failing jobs would not come. Just like she said, if Britons don't buy British products, why should other people?

Come back to me MOM born as my daughter. I need a daughter like you.

[@emirz321]

Shame she isn't PM now! She had more balls than most of the people in parliament now.

[@andywilliams8540]

its kinda funny looking back, posterity proved her right on nearly everything. she was on the right side of history.

[@Mikacool]

I do think it's harsh the abuse she recieved in death. And this is coming from a Sheffielder who's industries were decimated.

Leftists abuse everyone they don't like. Mostly good people. Good people only abuse the most evil people, regardless of their politics.

[@simonanders5676]

Wow.....articulate.....thats a true leader.....incredible Margaret Thatcher...i say this as a labour voter...not since Churchill have the British public had the benefit of such an individual that respected democracy....MT was a one off......

[@tonyclifton265]

best PM we ever had.

[@WintersWar]

The days when a politician (Thatcher and Reagan) cared about taxes on the working class. Those days are long gone.

[@staffie1uk]

She was fabulous!

[@thesubtleface]

Yes, I've not got to the second interview yet but she comes across particularly well in the first one - straightforward, talking 'micro', and without being condescending. It definitely seems she lost it somewhat in her last few years in power.

[@StevePhillips]

Prime Minster Thatcher the Great is more herself here. But sadly trickling down theory never came about certainly not with her successors.

[@east738]

I reckon Scargill should go back to his non profitable coal mine. He probably doesn't know where Japan is.

[@sphinx1017]

I think thatcher is possibly the only PM in history capable of pulling the country out of the mess it's in today.

[@wiseowl4393]

None of the jokers we have now come close to Maggie.

[@Koldeman]

Yes! It's a dependancy mentality that the government is the solution to everyone's problems. It is not. IT IS NOT THE ROLE OF THE GOV'T TO CREATE JOBS. It is the role of the Gov't to create opportunity- an atmosphere of enterprise large and small where the little guy can make something of himself. The best way to do that is to relieve taxes and regulations on businesses. Let business leaders run their business and stay out of the way. Lady T was absolutely right.

[@imusinthemorning]

I can't seem to link to the Spectator letter. Look up Ken Okaniwa on The Spectator's website.

[@essvee86]

Little did Thames knew that she would destroy them and replace them with Crapton, I mean Carlton.

[@jamesfordjhfcontractingltd1627]

Bloody great lady

[@brigidcraig4280]

I am not for turning , u turn if you want to but I am the daughter of a Former Retired British Diplomat Sir James Craig ESQ

[@imusinthemorning]

What makes you think I pointed out her use of that word to suggest it was derogatory? I merely pointed out she used the word. Why project onto my comment, five words they might merely be, that I was suggesting it was derogatory? However, since you brought it up, why then did an official in the Japanese embassy in London write The Spectator indignant at the use of the word in an article in the publication?

[@baldieman64]

If only we could have her back. I'm sick and tired of the spendthrift actions of Johnson and Sunak.

Let's not forget US Chicken. Nobody wants it.

[@mothermovementa]

What a woman

[@brigidcraig4280]

I agree with " Tar Man footnote "

[@emirz321]

Yeah sure let everyone strike for every little thing. Im sure that would have done us good. Did you even watch the video? Suppose simple minds expect everything to come from nothing.

[@jamesnicholson2503]

She hated dis loyalty.

[@ghirardellichocolate201]

Microsoft hires these many employees and so these employees now can have a retirement plan and be considered as Citizens of so and so country. Basically professions and job security, limited amount of job spaces and being careful with who prioritize such as go with strong candidates first but hey certain looks have been already disabled so I will go with the ones that aren't which what they did pretty much. As far as analysts one could question the integrity of those which means go with height guarantees to succeed if u can walk.

[@moshedayan4623]

ok

[@ghirardellichocolate201]

Where did she go wrong? Haha. How many people are going to leave worms after themselves. I want my child to be safe.

[@Astroranagun]

and that red dress economist still act like really smart on theory when in reality nobody going to do it...why investing millions and millions to expand industry when no one going to buy it?

[@essvee86]

Ten years later, she would destroy Thames television, and pretty much destroy any good British TV in general. Carlton = Crap.

[@driven1away]

the good thing is she's dead now.
