We're about the same age. I was a duplicate lefty back then. Mainly as I have come to realise, because I didn't think for myself. A hard reality to come to terms with once one does. Struggling to think correctly, rationally, with reason was not an easy thing to do because of the contradictions I faced. Once I learned my way through this I also realised what I had been taught to do which had stifled me. It's complex but in short it's emotional manipulation with such premises such as the needs justify the ends (rationalization). That's what the "left" do, and that's what I rejected at a cost to having most people around me dilute our friendships. Mostly because they didn't want their ideas to be challenged. Once one learns how to think, not only is it difficult to not do it, I wouldn't want to. And it paints listening to people like Thatcher in a new light. Not one presented at the time by anyone around me at all. I don't think Thatcher was ahead of here time. I think she was of her time, in the same way the founding fathers were of their time. She just learned how to honestly think, to workout, unpack ideas, and not seek emotional fulfillment above her reason. That got people wound up then, and it gets them wound up today. Try getting a "lefty" to pin down the principles and premises behind their ideas and be honest about them prior to a debate. You'll quickly discover how early into a conversation they flip and flop, evade, obfuscate meaning, and demand that man ultimately is evil and has to be controlled... by whom? Their values are "wishing" and their virtues are human sacrifice. They will tell you it is for "the greater good". When they say that, ask them; "Good ..by what standard?"

If she was still prime minister, we would be out of the EU now, as she would have not put up with the weak goverment we have now, she would have kicked them all into touch. Margaret was a natural leader and she served her time in office with conviction what she did was right, even if it was for the wrong reasons, which many people think she was a witch, The UK goverment is scared of going it alone, but what they fail to remember the Britian used to be a Empire, long before the EU was even thought of King and Queen as the time were a Empera and Empress and we were a strong and united. it was only because of the second world war the UK empire was broken up because of the costs of funding the second world war, Great Britian was once the richest's country's in the world and with the right prime minister it can do well again, why do we need the EU and why do our taxes go into europe I am proud of our country and we should look after it, most of the country voted to leave europe, and we should leave, with or without a deal,

Wow , I live in Barnsley and all my life have been brainwashed into hating the Tories for the miners strike , when in fact everything she is saying makes perfect sense . The pits were a dying industry , coal was a fossil fuel , bad for the environment and was always going to be an industry that came to a natural end in this country . Why didn’t the miners just take the pretty good redundancy package on offer ? Plenty of companies close and make redundancies , why were the miners so stubborn .

Mits the miners were let down by not having rejuvenating their towns with other job opportunities. When a town relies one industry, it has no chance without help.

By the time I left school, both companies had shrunk with Smiths going all together and yet it was only the miners who filled the news. The phrase, job for life disappeared all over the country, not just in the north. It's just we had warehouses pop up everywhere and are now a distribution town instead of a manufacturing one. Unions didn't grasp that jobs are not a god given right and thought that strikes were the answer. I'm intrigued by her saying it was Labour who had started shutting down the coal industry.

[@HE-162]

Where does the obsession with public services being profitable come from? Why are we obsessed with necessary things like power utilities, mass transit, etc, making money? If the NCB was profitable as a whole, then a few pits that are losing money are subsidized by the network of pits as a whole. Its worth the support they provide to the community and workers the pit supports. Sure, it’s a different discussion if an industry as a whole is unprofitable, but the government and public sector work for the people and should exist to support the running of society. Mass transit for example, even if not profitable, is a requirement for any city. The NCB could afford to subsidize a few non profitable pits as a means to support the people. But even if they didn’t, closing the pits without actually providing any support to transition those communities into a different industry was a crime. She didn’t come after the pits in good faith, as if she had she wouldn’t have been content to leave large swaths of the country impoverished and unemployed by ripping the rug out from under them and walking away.

[@Matthew-cw3gn]

@@HE-162 Your premise is wrong. We're not talking about privatizing a bridge or the water infrastructure. The public wasn't dependent on the coal mines for energy. The mines were subsidized as a work program for the miners, which is a stupid and unfair way to spend taxpayer money.

[@rmkerslake]

The coal was basically gone anyway. Many of those mines had been going for centuries and it had been ages since those pits’ coal output could cover the miners’ wages. It’s just that Thatcher called it out on her watch, after a decade of Labour denial. So of course, she gets all the blame.

​@@rmkerslake get your facts straight. Our own mine has over 200 years of coal..as do many others

[@rmkerslake]

@@davidalexander2607 Sure. I should clarify that it's the 'easily accessible' coal that's largely depleted. The problem is that with most British mines the remaining coal is very deep underground (up to 1 km) and the seams are thin. Those remaining 100's of years' coal would be expensive to extract. Very difficult to compete with other countries, e.g. China, assuming miners want better than Chinese safety conditions and wages.

The first time in years that I have watched an interview with a Prime Minister from beginning to end.

In particular, she picked out the best in Britain and held strong against the anti-British naysayers. I will always respect the fact that she came from a corner shop in Grantham, attended a grammar school, was admitted to Oxford to study Chemistry, then added a law degree to her achievements (as well as having twins in between). Very few politicians today can truly claim to have overcome significant odds (far higher in Mrs Thatcher's day than now) in such a manner.

@@mogznwaz I think more people finally realise the truth of what she was saying. Many people including the OP still resent that fact. And above all I think, and it’s maybe a point people will find terrible but coal mining was a dark miserable and awful way for a person to exist. We wouldn’t do it ourselves today not want our kids to do so. Whilst many did take pride in their work and it’s a shame that was taken away from them. It was an awful way to live and what’s so often overlooked is it was not only physically back breaking work, but most died of diseases as a result of breathing that stuff in for years. When there were clean(er) alternatives like nuclear that didn’t require people to suffer like that. It was actually the better thing to do from a humane point of view in my opinion. I don’t think she could have have expressed it in those terms at that time. And of course it was uneconomic. It was cheaper to import coal across the world from Australia and send it to Newcastle than it was to produce it locally. But that aside. It was a terrible job that if we’re honest we wouldn’t wish on anyone. Corbyn wanted to reopen them (!). A man who’s never done a days actual work in his life would want to send poor northern kids back down in to the pits. I just think personally it’s kind of horrendous.

[@boomerz2478]

@@williemherbert1456 free market economics have lifted more people OUT of poverty than any other system that has ever existed. It has also raised the standard of living of ordinary people. What is considered poor today is not even in the same league as pre Thatcher when people were literally dying in destitution in squalid housing that today wouldn’t be allowed for human habitation by law. And let me ask you a simple question. Would you be prepared to go into coal mining yourself personally or send your kids or family members into it? Knowing they will spend their lives in a miserable way completely wreck their bodies in the process and ultimately die of a disease caused by it? Genuinely asking. I come from one of those towns you mention. And the ones who complain about it today are predominantly middle class people working in the public sector who have seldom even met an actual labourer let alone have or had any as close friends or family. It’s a philosophical plaything for them to say woe those poor northern folks left without a crippling job. It demonstrates a belief that they think it’s all were good for and capable of. Ironically Thatcher was closer to ordinary working people from the north than the Labour politicians ever have been. And these scars of industry you talk about are mostly because successive governments particularly Blair and then Cameron ditched her policy of Youth training and Youth enterprise which were actually turning that around. Blair decided to compound the problem in i invoking a policy of forced university pretty much with the onus of cost being placed on the student as a debtor. This of course completely reversed the changes that were happening in those areas. It was then further exacerbated by a national living wage. Meaning that the effect of that was there was no regional difference in pricing after a while. When you can hire a worker in Chelsea for the same minimum wage as one from Newcastle or Yorkshire then it’s a problem. And that intensified the rot because there was no variance. When wages were lower in those areas it also meant so were house prices and access to work. When Thatcher left office in those areas you could buy a big house outright for 10grand. And a working class SINGLE person could very easily get a ten year mortgage for it on what today would be a minimum wage job. So it was socialist philosophy that stopped those areas continuing their recovery. And Cameron just adopted the same policies but added in austerity because of the overspend of Labour. “Levelling up” will not fully resolve this either. But the fact that you believe that kids from those areas have been deprived of jobs in factories and “industry” as you call it, just shows the fact you hold low expectations of us. Which Thatcher in fact did not. It’s your philosophy not hers that wrecked them ultimately by depriving the turn around for recovery that was already taking place. To give an example as I said we came from one of those working towns you belittle and when Thatcher left there were new businesses starting up and anyone could get enterprise grants to do so. Including my sister who retrained in electrical engineering and built a startup. And this was very common at that time. People were opening new businesses every day and the economic recovery was underway. It was major and then Blair who spectacularly fucked that up by as I say mainly his policy of university for all and diverting funds away from enterprise grants and youth training in skills. And then of course it’s no surprise that dumping immigrants who were undercutting everyone else through agencies paying less made everything a hundred times worse for when those kids got out of university as the entry level jobs had already been stuffed.

This was pre-rolling news and pre social media. You’ll note that, outside of speeches, Thatcher very rarely spoke in soundbites. Because this interview would have been “appointment television”, with reportage & analysis in the next day’s papers. Now, interviews will be analysed in real time in social media, so politicians need to get their points across in digestible blocks so that the key messages get through. Similarly, these interviews will now be cut up and reported on in a 24 hour rolling news cycle and on the Tv channel/show’s social media channel.

[@zeddeka]

she solved some problems, created others, and did nothing meaningful about others. Britain has been in serious decline since the 1800s and no government has ever really been able to turn that around - the periods of prosperity the UK has had have largely been credit bubbles which ended in tears, and the Thatcher period was no exception. Thatcher tamed the over powerful unions but did nothing of substance about the real underlying problems - chronic underinvestment and appalling levels of education and training. Britain still carries the scars - we have some of the poorest regions in Europe that are effectively ghost towns. The 'rust belt' is very much a term that could be applied to large parts of Britain.

[@jamara3330]

This is it, we did not like her at the time but she had a backbone, gave straight answers and did what she believed was good for the country.

[@zeddeka]

The thatcher government got some things write, a lot of things wrong. Perhaps the biggest charge that could be levelled at her is that she wasn't good at examining consequences. She had an almost religious view about the free market and therefore was blind to its limitations and indeed the damage it can cause if not controlled. A small example is how in later years she privately apologised to a friend, that she hadn't appreciated the damage some of the measures she introduced would do to his business. Many Tories who supported her at the time said in later years that they too hadn't quite appreciated how much damage to the social fabric her government would cause. Perhaps the best description of her came from Enoch powell. When asked about Thatcher and monetarism he said "shame she didn't understand it".

She solved some problems, created others, and did absolutely nothing about many others. Britain, throughout every government since at least the late 1800s, has been haunted by the same problems. Chronic underinvestment, failure to move into new industries and methods, and very poor levels of education and training. Her government was no more successful at addressing those problems than any other. Like pretty much every other period of prosperity in the UK since the war, the Lawson boom was essentially based on credit and wasn't real. It ended with a bust like all the others.
