Probably the last prime minister who had integrity and defended the British people. Not like these self serving career politicians and civil service we have now.
I secretly admired her for how she marched up to Leeds to deal with the Ripper enquiry. "I am a parent myself. If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman".
I couldn't agree more. Women are more focused and driven than men. Mrs Thatcher epitomised that philosophy. Single minded, driven and passionate about the decisions she made. Just incase anyone cries feminism... I am a man. It is simply the truth.

Mesmerising, Glorious. It sends goosebumps down the spine. Not a bone of corruption in her body. Try and compare her with today’s politicians, out for freebies with the snout on the troph.
She made a few mistakes, sure, every PM does, but by god, she was British, and she was not going to give that up for no-one. Certainly not some brain dead, unaccountable muppets in another country. She represented us all, that were in the UK at that time, and she stood tall and proud, as we should today.
@@Buzzj4kthe unions wrecked our industries. Strike and poor workmanship ended the automakers. Same for ship building and steel working. We know now that the unions were the puppets of the ussr. we’re in the situation of trying to compete on the global stage with cost far in excess of our competitors and only a fool would think we could compete. Sky high taxes and rampant inflation of the Labour 70s were killing the UK and running to the IMF for a bail out were disastrous for the UK. Sure closing the industries that were kept afloat by everyone else’s tax money was horrible for the people in those industries and devastating for the communities relying on them but it has to be done or the UK would now be so far down the world GDP league no one world invest here and the working class would be utterly poverty stricken.
@@wingus666 if one did not make mistakes one would be a robot ! Let’s be honest - her process of learning as with us all are learning by our mistakes .
This has always been my favourite speech from Mrs Thatcher. Not only was she a powerhouse of a PM, but an excellent Parliamentarian, orator and debater.
I am a thoroughgoing socialist! So Maggie and I would have strenuously disagreed on any number of issues. Large and small. That said, Margaret Hilda Roberts Thatcher is by LIGHT YEARS the single most fascinating historical figure that I have ever studied. And, in my own way, I must admit that I miss her.
Her speeches were absolutely brilliant, and all done without reading them too. She knew her own mind, she knew what Britain should be, and she went for it. I didn’t agree with everything she did, but that’s democracy, I wish she was still around today. We would be in a better place.
She was a GREAT woman, and one of Britain's finest ever leaders. God rest her glorious soul. Britain is in dire need of another Iron Lady to steer her back on course.
When I think back at those times and just like many people did not favour her so much, I feel so stupid for not realising how right she was particularly on the EU, for it has become exactly as she for saw at that time.
She didn't care who liked her or not. She believed, and she worked hard to achieve. Now we have Kier Starmer. Politics are different. Ethics are different. Mentality is different. Kier was born to fail and ensure the failure of others. Irrespective of the politics, Margaret Thatcher did try to achieve goals and have aims and objectives.
Stop referring to human courage or boldness as balls what a sick perverted plebian word is that? do you think you are a thinker when you use that word everywhere? when you choose to write a book will you still be using that word? grow the hell up and teach your children a decent and sane language. Perverse language means perverse minds and perverse minds lead to perverse logic. Read aristotle, hugh blair or J.S mill if i sound too ''modern''
The greatest. Churchill springs to mind but he headed a no opposition situation in parliament and was lionised by the press. Thatcher fought a battle every day.
I would probably think the miners would have something to say about that. The destruction of so many northern communties and turned them into drug infested shitholes with no prospects for the majority of the young people growing up there. She was a good orator but she destroyed much of the working class in this country in the north.
When Britain entered the 'common market' in 1973 people were told it was a trading block and that was that. Two years later there was a referendum on whether Britain should stay in the EEC. The country voted to remain. Come the early 1990s the EEC became the EU with the advent of the Maastricht Treaty. Political Union and talk of a federal Europe was being boasted about by European leaders. In 2000 the single currency was launched. When did anybody in Britain vote for any of this post 1975? Thatcher realised what was going on and was right to warm about the consequences. This led to the rise of UKIP, the Brexit Party and now Reform. The EU is a dictatorship. It overrides the governments of the member states, it is corrupt and has allowed uncontrolled mass immigration mainly from Muslim countries in the Middle East and North Africa. In doing so it is planting the seeds of its own destruction with centuries of European culture, history and racial make up being sacrificed on the altar of multiculturalism in the name of globalisation. In essence -neo Marxism. Where the communists failed in the 20th century they have now re-emerged without the Marxist/Leninist dogma.
Technically the EU isn't a dictatorship, but when there are so many layers of bureaucrats between the people and a decision, it becomes functionally hard to differentiate it from a dictatorship
The latest affront to the E.U establishment was in the last E.P election round. When it was absolutely clear as day that Von der Leyen and others tried with success to scupper (Democratically elected) right leaning MEP's. The establishment obviously pander to globalist banks. The ECB is now in that league. Their ever increasing expansion policies mixed with a decreasingly strong economically membership is a a train wreck happening in slow motion. I am a Brit that lives in the Netherlands for a long time. Shit has gone south here. Overwhelming public concerns about immigration have been ignored by the E.U liberals. It is an institution that nobody asked for. Sure it meant for example that painters in the automotive industry got standardised health and safety policies. But it is arguable whether this would have happened anyway. The U.K Gov. also takes the piss before and after Brexit. We need to assemble a mass movement outside of the political theater.

The crucial point is, the UK signed up for a TRADE agreement, not an annexing I to a superstate, they moved the goalposts, Thatcher stood by what she stood for, if only we had politicians of this calibre and morals today
Every speech I hear her make I agree with her. She is one of the only politicans I ever heard where I feel on the same wave length and find myself shouting Yes! Britain giving up sovereignty to a bunch of unelected nobodies. That is impossible for me to accept
Pro British, what a laugh. Pro thieving money men and pro the South East and to hell with the rest of us. Evil Witch who put greed above decent morals. We are now suffering her legacy.

European leaders have never understood or acknowledged that they were substantially to blame for Brexit by mishandling the relationship. Mrs Thatcher was voicing the frustrations that lead to the Brexit vote.
As long as they were in the EU the British have sought to expand its borders so as to empty it of any meaning beyond a commercial agreement. De Gaulle was right in predicting that the British would never feel a part of Europe, and fundamentally remain an island.
@jean-francoisbrunet2031 Yes I agree. UK wanted a trading relationship. Some of the Uk government positions on expansion were odd. But UK never wanted to be part of a United States of Europe .
One of the best PM's we ever had. This speech is one of the best ever, reflecting the British sentiment towards the euopean project that we finally had a say about in 2016. People forget, when we asked to join, before there was anything more than a trade body, they said NO. They said NO, NO, NO just like Thatcher did here. They knew we wouldn't fit in, we couldn't fit in. They follow the Roman principles of law, we follow the Anglo Saxon principles of law. They are incompatible, they bother work but in an incompatible way. They require different ways of thinking and the Europeans, who had never really had democracy at all till after WW2, they knew we wouldn't be an easy bedfellow to please as we simply wouldn't like what they were going to do. I spend most of mu childhood during the 90's being forced into something I increasingly learnt was something I feared, if not simply disagreed with. Nobody asked me when I was 12/13, I didnt get a vote in 1993. Well I finally did in 2016 and project fear won, I voted to remain at first! Simply for fear. Well, I saw the EU's true colours as Brixit played out and I have to say I was happy to finally be proven right. We can get along, we can co-operate, but we cant share the bed. We sleep too differently to be happy that close. We can use the same kitchen perhaps, but thats where the line is drawn, as long as we both keep it clean and have our own bedrooms. Lol, I hear many saying we should re-join, that most Brexiteers are dead or have turned their coats. Maybe some of that is true, but that just highlights the real issue. We got some form of Brexit, we have yet to have a competent Government that can actually use it! Till we do, it is basically as bad as May's BrINO deal. I like to watch this speech as a reminder of the dream of finally leaving correctly, showing the EU that it IS possible, they can do the same. The EU structure must be torn apart and rebuilt, correctly this time and I hoped back in 2016 that yet again the UK can be the saving grace of our EU cousins, showing them that it was broken, we were leaving, it can be fixed and you can fix it. Unfortunately the hard left hijacked that and spun fake news and such that managed to leave the UK and the EU in limbo, till we finally take Brexit and use it. If we ever get the chance...
She was one of the best I loved watching her stand up to people in today's world I think she would be shocked by what both sides have done. Yet round the world, she is highly spoken, especially Ukrainian people

@@moonlit_forest2680and Nixon's decision has nothing to do with it? De Gaulle didn't make himself clear enough? It would have made no difference who was in government. At least Thatcher tried. No one else had any vision at all. Either way, the UK and Europe were on a one way street. A classic example of Stockholm Syndrome. Look at who controls the money and there is your bogeyman. It wasn't Thatcher.
I grew up during the Thatcher years and my family did not like her at all until the Falklands in 1983. I always thought she was a strong and courageous leader, i wish she was our government leader now. She would not have tolerated all the illegal immigrants and would've stopped the "boats" before they even began to travel to Britain. The Last True British Prime Minister we ever had. Wether you agreed with her or not.
I was in the US Army during the Reagan presidency, Thatcher’s time as PM. We absolutely adored her. We knew that we were being led by giants with President Reagan and PM Thatcher. I’m glad that I have lived long enough to see history prove that Maggie was right!!!!
Don’t even compare Reagan to Thatcher. She was highly educated, he was not. She was extremely competent, he was not. She was brilliant, he was not. She had an iron will, he had not . Shall I go on?
I wish we had Mrs Thatcher in charge now. A strong leader with what's best for the British people at the forefront of every policy. Sadly, look at how far we have fallen to have idiots and cowards like Starmer and his cronies in charge.
What a contrast between the quality of Thatcher and the last 5-6 British Prime Ministers. This sort of sane leadership and sober voice is sadly, very badly missed now in the EU too. Politicians wanting to protect and defend sovereignty now are portrayed as extremists…
@@mikeryan7213 In proportion perhaps you could make that argument. Even then it wouldn't be right. We have members of parliament who are on record as antithetical to British values, presumably there are more that don't voice it. I don't want them in a position to be able to speak on my behalf.
@Excession-h6e by your logic then only white people should be in parliament. This is not only ridiculous, but also insulting. The overwhelming majority of parliament members are loyal to Britain and the people they represent. Thank God most people don't share your narrow views.
@@mikeryan7213 Narrow? I have been an expat in a developing nation for 20 years. Let me guess, you are an urbanite who has never been outside of the country for any significant amount of time, getting your hands dirty and putting your own life in danger? You have never helped train doctors and your experience of 'equality' comes from the streets of England and your concomitant vocabulary comes from the pulpits of those sophist politicians who know what's best? You are printed from a mold. Standard and dismissible.
The European Economic Community provides a clue or two in it's name as to why Thatcher came to object strongly to it! It was an ECONOMIC grouping supposedly and that is how the entire concept began in the 1950s. But she eventually realised of course, as more was revealed of the over-arching ambitions of the EU, as it became! Those were largely and predominantly POLITICAL in nature and all about supra-national control by the EU. She was absolutely correct.
I read many positive comments about her, but I remember that when Mrs Thatcher was in power she was harshly contested because of unemployment, inflation etc..... but a good doctor must administer the bitterest medicine if you want a quick recovery..... a great woman of integrity and sincerity who brought Great Britain back on the right path......

As long as they were in the EU the British have sought to expand its borders so as to empty it of any meaning beyond a commercial agreement. De Gaulle was right in predicting that the British would never feel a part of Europe, and fundamentally remain an island.
@jean-francoisbrunet2031 Yes I agree. UK wanted a trading relationship. Some of the Uk government positions on expansion were odd. But UK never wanted to be part of a United States of Europe .
She was a master class, one of a few that could really lead and I would say no one has demonstated leadership at this level since
Maggie was our last true Prime Minister
The Kinnock family have made a lot of money out of the EU
they should all be jailed or exiled
One of the best PM's we ever had. This speech is one of the best ever, reflecting the British sentiment towards the euopean project that we finally had a say about in 2016. People forget, when we asked to join, before there was anything more than a trade body, they said NO. They said NO, NO, NO just like Thatcher did here.
They knew we wouldn't fit in, we couldn't fit in. They follow the Roman principles of law, we follow the Anglo Saxon principles of law. They are incompatible, they bother work but in an incompatible way. They require different ways of thinking and the Europeans, who had never really had democracy at all till after WW2, they knew we wouldn't be an easy bedfellow to please as we simply wouldn't like what they were going to do.
I spend most of mu childhood during the 90's being forced into something I increasingly learnt was something I feared, if not simply disagreed with. Nobody asked me when I was 12/13, I didnt get a vote in 1993. Well I finally did in 2016 and project fear won, I voted to remain at first! Simply for fear.
Well, I saw the EU's true colours as Brixit played out and I have to say I was happy to finally be proven right. We can get along, we can co-operate, but we cant share the bed. We sleep too differently to be happy that close. We can use the same kitchen perhaps, but thats where the line is drawn, as long as we both keep it clean and have our own bedrooms.
Lol, I hear many saying we should re-join, that most Brexiteers are dead or have turned their coats. Maybe some of that is true, but that just highlights the real issue. We got some form of Brexit, we have yet to have a competent Government that can actually use it! Till we do, it is basically as bad as May's BrINO deal.
I like to watch this speech as a reminder of the dream of finally leaving correctly, showing the EU that it IS possible, they can do the same. The EU structure must be torn apart and rebuilt, correctly this time and I hoped back in 2016 that yet again the UK can be the saving grace of our EU cousins, showing them that it was broken, we were leaving, it can be fixed and you can fix it. Unfortunately the hard left hijacked that and spun fake news and such that managed to leave the UK and the EU in limbo, till we finally take Brexit and use it.
If we ever get the chance...
Back in the day, when our elected leaders were intelligent, articulate and stately.
The numpties we have now pale into insignificance.
There will never be another PM quite like Thatcher. Fearless, well informed, intelligent and always a lady.
Loved this woman.
Me too
She was one of the best I loved watching her stand up to people in today's world I think she would be shocked by what both sides have done. Yet round the world, she is highly spoken, especially Ukrainian people
How do you think this speech reflects on Margaret Thatcher's legacy?
Her legacy is known for economic benefits short term but disastrous long term! The Uk is in a dire state because of thatcher
The Speech That Set The Tory Party On A European War Path | Parliament's Greatest Speeches #3 1802pm 27.9.24 i couldn't give a fook, my friend. she rued the day she supported the joining of the common market, made it her priority to support such legislation... it won her her tenure... just watch yes, minister and yes, prime minister... ahahah... i wonder if she often thought she was going crazy what with that particular show allegedly anticipating her next political move... as for th elate 70's... and late 90's - terrible eras. little mr echo doesn't want her doesn't condone her doesn't even enjoy any of this... and this lad's not for turning. a massive groan just went up regards the fact sutcliffe got to phone the DWP call centre just before they closed for the weekend... no one answered, by the way. i aint a conservative - they're a bunch of commies.
@@moonlit_forest2680 The Speech That Set The Tory Party On A European War Path | Parliament's Greatest Speeches #3 1809pm 27.9.24 irrespective of this and whether or not her policies were implemented correctly...the excitement of the death of politics was well to the fore.... how boring they all are now, though. toe rags!!!
@@moonlit_forest2680and Nixon's decision has nothing to do with it? De Gaulle didn't make himself clear enough?
It would have made no difference who was in government. At least Thatcher tried. No one else had any vision at all. Either way, the UK and Europe were on a one way street.
A classic example of Stockholm Syndrome. Look at who controls the money and there is your bogeyman. It wasn't Thatcher.
@@moonlit_forest2680 Disagree. She and John Major were probably the last two long-terms PMs.
I remember it well. Her views cost her everything. Commendable integrity.
The last truly BRITISH Prime Minister.
I don't even think that lizard is classed as human
I think that honour goes to Chamberlain. Every single one since May 1940, even Mrs Thatch, sold us out one way or another.
@@Excession-h6eChamberlain? Good god. The man was willing to sell out to hitler
I grew up during the Thatcher years and my family did not like her at all until the Falklands in 1983. I always thought she was a strong and courageous leader, i wish she was our government leader now. She would not have tolerated all the illegal immigrants and would've stopped the "boats" before they even began to travel to Britain. The Last True British Prime Minister we ever had. Wether you agreed with her or not.
The one woman who feminists seem to ignore
@@MusicFromNowhere Like ?
And she stood with Apartheid South Africa 👍
@@Helgardt6189Your lack of knowledge on the subject is telling. Telling.
@@lostintranslation1957so she didn't stand with Apartheid in South Africa?
@diansc7322 When did she stand with apartheid?
I was in the US Army during the Reagan presidency, Thatcher’s time as PM. We absolutely adored her. We knew that we were being led by giants with President Reagan and PM Thatcher. I’m glad that I have lived long enough to see history prove that Maggie was right!!!!
Don’t even compare Reagan to Thatcher. She was highly educated, he was not. She was extremely competent, he was not. She was brilliant, he was not. She had an iron will, he had not . Shall I go on?
Your speech is longer than hers 😂
Agree.
Iconic!!! She shaped the future of great Britain, RESPECT MARGARET THATCHER, Y0U seen the future
She was right then,
She was right three decades later, and
She was right now.
Bring her back
I wish we had Mrs Thatcher in charge now. A strong leader with what's best for the British people at the forefront of every policy. Sadly, look at how far we have fallen to have idiots and cowards like Starmer and his cronies in charge.
wish we had her again today to sort out the upsetting mess that britain is in. she was the greatest PM britain ever had
Mrs T was right on the EEC and now the EU.
Margaret Thatcher was magnificent and possibly the best UK Prime Minister ever in a long and proud history.
Masterful
The last Prime Minister worthy of the position, and she had a spine.
The most wonderful brilliant premier the world ever had.. she's like a Maria Callas...one that can never be equaled
Was never a fan of hers, but Jesus do we ever need her now!
Wish we had someone like that now
If only she was hear now
What a contrast between the quality of Thatcher and the last 5-6 British Prime Ministers. This sort of sane leadership and sober voice is sadly, very badly missed now in the EU too. Politicians wanting to protect and defend sovereignty now are portrayed as extremists…
Now you have puppets.
She was the best!
Hello from France ! The best ever ! At this Time I wished she could lead France !
Love this woman!
Brilliant we need Mrs Thatcher now, starmer could learn so much from her!!
What a great lady ! Respect, Madam !
...I did not like her personality but I SO admired her integrity, Love for the UK, and her Leadership!
Notice how "un-enriched" the commons was in 1990?
Well, there were women, foreigners with family in the BoE, and working class people there. Not entirely clean.
What's your problem? Britain is multi ethnic, of course Parliament as a result will be multi ethnic.
@@mikeryan7213 In proportion perhaps you could make that argument. Even then it wouldn't be right. We have members of parliament who are on record as antithetical to British values, presumably there are more that don't voice it. I don't want them in a position to be able to speak on my behalf.
@Excession-h6e by your logic then only white people should be in parliament. This is not only ridiculous, but also insulting. The overwhelming majority of parliament members are loyal to Britain and the people they represent. Thank God most people don't share your narrow views.
@@mikeryan7213 Narrow? I have been an expat in a developing nation for 20 years. Let me guess, you are an urbanite who has never been outside of the country for any significant amount of time, getting your hands dirty and putting your own life in danger? You have never helped train doctors and your experience of 'equality' comes from the streets of England and your concomitant vocabulary comes from the pulpits of those sophist politicians who know what's best? You are printed from a mold. Standard and dismissible.
The European Economic Community provides a clue or two in it's name as to why Thatcher came to object strongly to it! It was an ECONOMIC grouping supposedly and that is how the entire concept began in the 1950s. But she eventually realised of course, as more was revealed of the over-arching ambitions of the EU, as it became! Those were largely and predominantly POLITICAL in nature and all about supra-national control by the EU. She was absolutely correct.
What a woman ❤ tough and forthright
Yes, yes, yes, you are great !
I wish we had her now, her strength and her love for her country. She would never be a WEF or Israeli puppet
One of ther greatest leaders of all time.
She had such balls..but she didnt have to think with them..!
I met margret thatcher in 2001 as a young american army sgt . She spoke at the USASMA
Ahh yes, shouting "No No No" is so iconic...🥱💀⚰🔥👹
I read many positive comments about her, but I remember that when Mrs Thatcher was in power she was harshly contested because of unemployment, inflation etc..... but a good doctor must administer the bitterest medicine if you want a quick recovery..... a great woman of integrity and sincerity who brought Great Britain back on the right path......
What a wonderful successful prime minister ❤
These were the days when we had real politicians with real convictions. Puts to shame what Britain has now.
