I was born in Manchester in 1970. My dad was a labourer. He loved Margaret Thatcher. I was too young to understand much at the time, but I do remember the conversations around the dinner table, saying that Mrs Thatcher was giving us the opportunity to buy our own home; which with great difficulty, we did. It brought a sense of great pride to my parents and also helped raise my mum up economically after my dad passed away. They bought the house for less than 20,000 GBP but ended up selling it for more than 115,000 GBP She wasn’t perfect - but I greatly admire Mrs Thatcher for her integrity and strength. Great documentary!!
She was fabulous - a true inspiration for men and women alike. A role model as to what you can achieve if you work hard and have enough determination and strength.
She was magnificent and I feel so privileged to have been there under her leadership. I can’t remember who said it but I love this description “she had the legs and lips of Marilyn Monroe and the eyes of Caligula” 😂
I'm from a mining town. She dragged this country out of despair and economic destruction. Michael foot who was the alternative was a paid member of the kgb. Heaven forbid what could have happened.
Mrs Thatcher was the best British Prime Minister the U.K. has ever had since Sir Winston Churchill - I remember her leadership when I was a teenager growing up in Rural Ireland in the 1980’s and I knew that she and our Fianna Fáil Taoiseach Charles J Haughey TD were great friends - she never got on with Jack Lynch as Taoiseach, but I was surprised that she never got on with our Fine Gael Taoiseach Garrett Fitzgerald - I’d seen her work with the Northern Ireland Peace Process and I loved her attitude towards the IRA and Sinn Fein, towards the EU and towards the Falklands - were she in power today she would have approached many issues in a much better and stronger way and having had the measure of many, born of instinct, she perhaps knew that the leaders that came after her would be far weaker, they reversed many of her policies after she left office - we will never have a leader as strong as her in my lifetime - in my 22 years living in the U.K. at age 53 all of the leaders have been weak
The era of strong leadership. The way they kept China and USSR obey is almost impossible these days. Today’s politics are so aware of their reputation they raised Putin, Erdogan and Xi, they put capital in their hands and we have a widespread of dictatorship nowadays. I’d rather go back to those days we were still a role model to those countries wanted to succeed
After Thatcher died, the #2 song in England without any airplay or record sales was "Ding-Dong The Witch is Dead" Thatcher did more to destory the UK than any other PM in British history Which is why the #2 song in England without any airplay or record sales in the UK after she died was...
"Greatest" is really debatable. Her record? Mixed. The abolition of supposedly inefficient industries has led to a brain drain. The worst thing? Because of this politics, entire regions are structurally weak and completely impoverished to this very day.
Or the manifestation of broken system that lead to the unbalanced economy the UK has now. (very unequal) London is rich and the rest of the UK is struggling,. She also seeded the financial crisis of 2008 by boosting Neo Liberalism Economics and the erasure of the Glass-Steagall Act; USA and UK both (the big bang). A major factor was the UK Class system that meant people that could talk in a specific accent would get management jobs even if they were inept, no skills at all. UK industry could never keep up with competition from the rest of the world and their better management concepts. The Uk voted for Brexit because they thought that the EU was the problem. BUT it was Thatcher and unfetterd neo liberal economics that was to blame. The UK is now a very unbalanced country and is now getting more poor every day due to Brexit. Wales and Scotland have no confidence in the UK Parliment anymore. Northern England is also seeking independence from parliament, mainly because the Tories are useless idiots that wrecked their economy. Manufacture has been outsourced to China leaving the UK only supplying services. Why? Because Thatcher along with the bad management and idiot trade unions killed the UK manufacturing industry.
Who grew up in the 1960s, had it hard then along came Maggie to stop the free milk in 1971 for anyone over 7 years old..? ( Maggie the milk snatcher…) Was she not behind the closure of the mental institutions in a a Great Britain a time when turmoil was on its way… Industry suffered greatly due to her political policies which caused mass unemployment especially in the north of England in order to control inflation. There is so much more which could have been said here but the one thing I despise here for is the Poll tax which caused huge furor in England and cause me to have to close my business and also pay dearly for a government who were hell bent on change. The poll tax riots I remember well,as I was in London’s Covent garden on Saturday 31st March in my establishment minding my own business only to have my store destroyed by rioters hell bent on destruction and the Met on horses riding through the area with batons hitting rioters and others for not conforming. What a nightmare that was, that day in 1990 on a Saturday, the busiest trading day of the week for most. Talk about bright ideas to build up the country, give everyone what they want only to have it be taken away for you later on. As from those lost souls in Las Malvinas. That along with the people up north who lost their livelihoods to the closure of coal mines are other stories. She certainly made her bed.
@@myoctobersymphony4446Dude i only read the videos title. Maybe it should read Best SINCE Churchill in the title. Pple look at vids based on the title. Have a good day 😊
A total disaster prime minister for all those who were not wealthy or financially comfortable ! For those who were concerned about how to pay their bills and how to find a job in a job starved economy which she purposely caused, she could not have cared less! A truly unpleasant uncaring privileged wealthy demagog ! Thank goodness she never enjoyed the support of the majority of voters at the ballot box!

Greatest…debatable. Strongest and most impact on gb and world…definitely
I loved the way she put Scargill in in his place. As soon as Margaret was in I came back from working overseas.
Maggie was something!!
Ya,a prostitute
Something that smelt like moldy shit 😂
A total twat

She was the PM Britain needed at the time
Маргарет! Браво!
Мы любим Вас! ❤🎉🇬🇧
A true Statesman..international leaders respected her..much missed since then.
We need her here in the UK now. Bless you, Magie. Gone but never forgotten.
The greatest, our Maggie
I didn’t agree with a lot of her policies but respected her perseverance in following them through..ended up a true leader.
She was the greatest
Hello Brendan
I'll never forget her quote, "The trouble with socialism is that it works until it runs out of other people's money."
She just described Captalism...

I completely agree!
Not the greatest that title belongs to Winston Churchill but margert is probably the best after Churchill
Churchill the bankers puppet the greatest, don't make me laugh 😂
Churchill was a straight up imperialist
rather have an imperialist than hitler
@@robloxnmaps637 ok…? still doesn’t mean he wasn’t a bad person.
in a Stituation where you have an imperialist protecting the free world and a outright genocidal freak,you would rather choose the imperialist right?
Mrs Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and John Paul II. How lucky was the West to have these three leaders.
Ronald Reagan left an absolutely horrible mark on the US economy
The three greatest leaders of the 80’s. Today there are none.
Ronald Reagan??? Oh no no no.
@@glinbefgniluwgubniowonifuv Facts! Thatcher did the same in England.
After Thatcher died, the #2 song in England without any airplay or record sales was "Ding-Dong The Witch is Dead"
Thatcher did more to destory the UK than any other PM in British history
Which is why the #2 song in England without any airplay or record sales in the UK after she died was...
What a load of rubbish!! So childish rude. What a jealous bitter ….. you are!!!!
She isn’t perfect or a saint ! But u.k. would be much worse today if not for her !
"Greatest" is really debatable. Her record? Mixed. The abolition of supposedly inefficient industries has led to a brain drain. The worst thing? Because of this politics, entire regions are structurally weak and completely impoverished to this very day.
Her record was anything but mixed. She was one of the best for sure
Yes, definitely Churchill and Thatcher.
Yes she was greatest prime minister! The best policy favorites economy and companies!
It must same person in France, Macron is soo much socialist!
I don't comment on political topics.
Queen in my body lol iykyk
At 34:30, the Spitting Image puppet of Dr. David Owen is at the end of the table. When was Owen ever in her cabinet?
Divide and Rule sadly a strategy that applies even today
I remember when our whole community got made redundant when she closed our shipyards.
SUBSCRIBED! 😁
Are 😊
Fun fact Ding dong the witch is dead made it in to the charts when Thatcher died.
Fun fact nobody still cares.
Wow

Why does this dude sound like Stewie griffin

No, she took voice lessons to lower its tone, to sound more like a man because women weren't respected enough

I was in no way a fan of Margaret thatcher however she’d be turning in her grave for how the tories are now

She was the best.
Good grief! Dreadful woman. I agreed with her on the Falklands, otherwise she was a disaster for the country..
