Margaret Thatcher: The Rise Of The Iron Lady | This Lady's Not For Turning | Timeline

[@Celisar1]

I truly admire her. You will not find again someone who is so knowledgeable, someone who have all the facts and details at her fingertips, has analysed the problem before coming to a conclusion and then sticking to it, someone who is so honest and never shies away from facing the public and opponents, someone who answers every question completely straight without any hot air or evasion, someone so intelligent and eloquent. She was unique in all of that.

I was a young newly-wed in South Wales during Maggie's Britain. She is not remembered fondly here. She destroyed entire communities, not just by closing the mines and steelworks which left thousands out of work, followed by the inevitable loss of local businesses which closed when the region's economy imploded. The problem was that she never replaced those industries with anything else. The mine owners were compensated but the miners had the rug pulled out from under them. More than 40 years on, the Valleys are still lagging behind the rest of Britain. Oh, and selling off council houses was a great idea for a lot of people. But that social housing stock has never been anything like adequately replaced, despite a growing population and homelessness problem. Both the result of Tory get rich quick thinking, no thought for the future. She had some ideas which were popular at the time, but failed to think them through to their consequences. And she inspired a brand of selfishness, a philosophy of greed and consumerism, which still blights the country today, evident in the behaviour of the current Right Honourable Usual Suspects.

[@lollykins12]

A lot of those mines where loss making entities...people don't talk about that. I agree she could have done more to provide more opportunities once they had closed but she wasn't perfect....who is. She also enabled a lot of those people to own their own houses

[@theLabradorite]

while I agree that she should have done more to help ex-miners, it's not fair to blame her for our current problems. She did what she thought was right at the time, and was elected three times for it. She made some mistakes (who hasn't?) but she was still a better leader than anyone in the parliament today.

[@Celisar1]

She did what had to be done but no one else had the courage or stamina to do. Britain was the poorhouse of Europe, almost ungovernable. She managed to turn that around. One would think that you would be able to see these historical facts some decades later.

Thatcher was a high handed, mean-spirited, and belligerent individual who peddled an demented political and economical ideology of cutting taxes for the rich, cutting government assistance for the poor, and cutting regulations for the banks and corporate businesses, in the misguided and obsessed belief that it would lead to economic growth. Instead, it has caused high public debt, extreme poverty, and wage inequality, which the UK is still struggling with today.

She was absolutely right. So some research into the utter mess that Labour led the country into in the late 1970s: inflation at 25%, top marginal rate of income tax at 87%, mass industrial action by militant trade unions (Winter of Discontent, 1978-79), the state ownership and subsidisation of massive sections of the British economy.

You may love or loathe her ,she made her country great again and respected either in Europe or in the world.She was prophetic about the greedy hand of European central bank. She was right ahout refusing the single currency and brought England into modernity As she had a degree in scienze she would have handled the pandemic in the right way immediately.great leader,she had more balls than so.many politicians and was kicked off by her own party,members

[@Celisar1]

I agree wholeheartedly beside one thing: you do not need balls to have courage and inner strength. you only need a good character.

My take from this video: to move people, you need carrot and the stick. Socialist would like to give people the carrot, but that would only leave them the stick. On the same note, conservatives give up control over the carrot and let it get too far from people, also leaving them with only stick.

No surprise at all that our greatest president and the greatest English person of all time got along so famously! The United Kingdom has had three women prime ministers and two minority prime ministers, all Conservatives!

Ma politique est de gouverner les hommes comme le grand nombre veut l'être. C'est la manière de reconnaître la souveraineté du peuple. C'est en me faisant catholique que j'ai gagné la guerre de Vendée, en me faisant musulman que je me suis établi en Égypte, en me faisant ultra-montain que j'ai gagné les esprits en Italie. Si je gouvernais le peuple juif, je rétablirais le temple de Salomon. de Napoleon Bonaparte
