Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The rise of Margaret Thatcher, Conservative Party Leader and UK Prime Minister from 1975 to 1990 Kaye: 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.

You might of walked past Miss Thatcher when she was 15, 16 or even 21 years old. Smiled, walked away from the young lady. Though gave her no thought what so ever but she was married to Destiny and to become the Iron Lady of the world. Her appointment was Success and the Price you pay for it. President Reagan telephones to apologise Miss Magaret Thatcher, She replies Age 11 years old. What does that even mean? Lady, The Iron Lady would find out many years later! A battle wounded soldier lies in bed in Italy falls in love with a nurse, First World War, nobody has ever heard of him, of course, he will become Ernest Hemmingway.

She was an idiot! She couldnt even write her own speech when she became Prime Minister - she gave a quotation instead. As for being regarded as strong she was actually one, if not THE weakest Prime Minister in British history, as ignoring people, and sacking people who dont agree with you because you think you are always right, is in fact a great sign of insecurity and WEAKNESS!

was living in a pit village as a kid. she destroyed people from the inner soul. people had to choose to be a scab and work and be beaten if caught or be unemployed with no hope of work. well done maggie T. :(. i saw cats eyes been painted, bus stops ripped up and war basically due to her policy. What a UNT
reply

She would be in jail with todays political standards. handing out deals for favors, including her own husband. Left the middle class behind while she looked out for her own. Also, the kids with milk thing? Dont forget about the Poll Tax. Overrated PM because she was a Lady.
reply

The best pm ever. Balls of an elephant. went 2 soft at the end, due to listening to her backstabbing colleagues. only the miners hated her, but the trade was loosing millions daily. common sense to close a dying industry. rip Maggie, we could do with u now.

I may not know all their is to know about PM Thatcher. But dam if I don't miss her. Yes I know I'm here in the US. Doesn't matter I miss her. She is one leader, agree or not, who led. I for one adored her honesty and bluntness. Still Adore and miss her.
reply

And now look at our country. Full of bone idle, weak minded, spineless and liberal pinko plebs. And that's on a good day.
The slippery snakes giving comment after her resignation are the sort of politician we are left with

reply

Must have been a bunch of liberals who created Netflix's THE CROWN because they only showed Thatchers negatives and no positives. They didnt give us any idea as to how successful she was and how she shaped UK in a good way.
reply

She used to stalk around inside Downing St, obsessively, picking up mothballs, cracking em and sniffing em and so invented Crack Cocaine. And, now the Uk monarchy are on em, and all the government
reply

Great video, a video on Clement Attlee would be very intriguing as well. He is considered by many historians as one of Englands greatest Prime Ministers. He truly transformed England.
reply

It amazes Me why Thatcher is never hailed as a Feminist Icon, Yet Frauds like Hillary Clinton are. Thatcher was never ever a Victim. She had bigger balls than all her Cabinet.
reply

. oh the days, when politicians still had functioning minds. (Thatcher). helping people, on the human side, and also on the financial side, in seeing that the scheme is sound.
reply

5: 08, notice the media tried to define her as a victim and how she refused to be defined as a victim but as a leader. A good lesson for future female leaders right there.
reply

The poll tax was a bridge too far and saw her downfall. Got too big for her proverbials and out she went! That's what happens when you're drunk on power.
reply

Great politician without her UK economy wont be such strong as it was for long time after her. Unfortunately it was done with big social price.
reply

Margaret Thatcher basically created more poverty in the UK than any other modern Prime Minister. Tax cuts for the rich, hardships for the rest.
reply

Margaret Thatcher may have made a few mistakes. Who wouldn't with all that was going on in the world. But, Margaret Thatcher was a great leader.
reply

Regardless of her short comings we should respect her as a leader and human, a great leader and and a British icon, rip she was a legend
reply

She saved Britain from international ruin. Like her or hate her, most of Britain would be poorer if she wasnt the PM during the 80s.
