"I have a theory that parents given their children what they lacked" absolutely spot on
CHAPEAU to the Grand Lady and to you: SPOT ON
And then someone else whines about those kids being privileged and "getting participation trophies" and ruins it again.
How she articulates her view on conviction over concensus here is actually really inspiring.
There was no consensus there was conviction in her. And that’s what has help her to be best pm of 🇬🇧.
She is correct about campaigning and acting based on core principles. Unfortunately I disagree with most of her core principles
@@MostlyLoveOfMusic Why?
@@adolflenin4973 well she believed in tax cuts to businesses and millionaires, but thought that poor people should look after themselves rather than having social programs to help them with housing, education, healthcare etc
When I listen to this interview , I look at a once great Prime Minister and listening to how essential it is to pronounce words correctly. The intonation and the words to choose. And oh yes some history there. Thank you for uploading this program.
Agree with every word she said and what a leader - clear, determined, passionate, inspiring. No UK politician has come close since. RIP Lady Thatcher.
No, no one has come close since,,,,thank fuck!
@@thetruth156real3 she was the best pm we have ever had hands down
@@karnold2807 Well you obviously live in a castle, are very rich and think the working class are scum, I myself think the working class are scum, they voted in Hitler and Maggie, two leaders who then proceeded to dismantle their own country. You can’t blame one person though, they need self serving idiots to do their bidding,, thus! The working class are scum!
@@thetruth156real3 hardly the economy was in a better place when she left by popularity she’s our best non wartime prime minister the coal industry was doomed when she sold them off anyway
@@karnold2807 Torys vote for the good of themselves, Socialists vote for the good of the Country!
the interviewers knew their stuff here. It's a surprisingly deep interview for breakfast tv. Maggie answers with candour.
She’s absolutely bloody right about consensus. You have clear policies and you ask the people to choose. And when the people chose, they chose Maggie

Negative and cruel comments on Margaret Thatcher from people so accustomed to government control,handouts or union control and negotiation,or leftist academia and media ideology that they cannot stand on the own two feet and take initiative.And I’m not talking about the aged, ill or severely disadvantaged. The people who negate self improvement by not focusing on education,work at hand and positive positioning of self to make progress in their lives and who expect some entity to rescue them are the millstone on society.
Such an enthralling woman to watch and listen to. There has been no other politician like her or as effective as her in the three decades since she left office.
so true .
@Movenpick - Sea Fun Divers at what?
@@MarthaMansbridge killing brown pepole
She was very effective at destroying the working class
@Movenpick - Sea Fun Divers he also committed war crimes
I admire Thatcher's passion when she talks about politics.
She knew her stuff

I could listen for hours to this woman.. God Bless her ..

@@17henke what a horrible thing to say
God miss her. Courage, intelligence and integrity. A classy Lady. Boy we need her now.
Agreed. When we needed a high point ------ we got a low point.
Love the woman
Wish we had her now
🥰
Love her or hate her, she was someone who fought for what she believed in and got shit done. A huge contrast to today's middle of the road PM's
Pricck
Great comment... spot on!
@@daleparfitt7243 I'd rather be a prick and responsible for improving access to wealth then be accepted by everyone and responsible for a decrease in the standard of living.
@@Pliam961 you said it prick
I certainly love her!
What a remarkable lady so classy
Thank you for empowering me Thatcher.
She was passionate about her ideals until death! A great leader!!
Thank you, Lady Margaret.
The greatest ever Prime Minister. I wish we had a leader like her now.
I've felt the same since Covid kicked off. We wouldn't have "scientists" who are supposed to be advising the government giving their opinions to the media first and the government second if she was running the show. And no stuttering bluster either.
Shes just so logical and forward thinking.... Need her now.
she was an incredible woman. can't imagine there being a leader like her anymore
@oneraceonedestiny Get some class with your disgusting mouth... You wouldn't understand at all coz your down there on the floor in the gutters
Margaret Thatcher was one of the greatest British Prime Ministers of the 20th Century. She will easily rank alongside Churchill and Loyd George.
Hear hear!
She currently ranks alongside Hitler, Stalin and Genghis Khan
P1mpMyBr1de well said. Even Putin! It is amazing how being a woman can soften the youth's opinions
+BloodOfYeshuaMessiah Utter horseshit.
She was the biggest bastard we have ever known.
What a great woman. We need her back, as PM.
Desperately!
Died in 2013. How do you think that is possible?
Fascinating to watch Margaret Thatcher speaking now with the benefit of 25 years hindsight.
She was certainly very sharp and had a very clear idea of what she believed in....how many politicians can you say that about now?
She was a great leader and absolutely brilliant. The foolish leaders of today worldwide, are all about consensus and waffling about and getting nothing meaningful done sadly.
Best Prime minister of all time 🇬🇧🇬🇧
What a Lady she was ............ RIP Lady T .
Love her or hate her, she had conviction. We needed her, the unions were ruining the country, and i am a member of a union
Class traitor
Give your head a wobble Richard...
@4th Chairman's Gaming the people need power over the establishment
What a woman.
A very interesting interview but I felt the comment about not seeing her grandchildren as being sad - and it is rather alluded to in the film the Iron Lady.
As for television destroying the art of conversation - this was a big thing at the end of the 1970s. I remember my father talking about it. Mind you, he was the first to turn the television on!
Yes and mobile devices are the next retrograde step for family life.
Thank you Mrs thatcher for giving me opportunity, Our greatest leader ever !
RIP
Excuse me where do you put Churchill?
This is so relevant now, as it was then. God save Maggie!
I was going to say she’s probably having tea with God then I thought wait a minute, I meant Lucifer.
She was evil. DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!
@@joannahall4082 Yep a vile woman, ruined many lives 😡.
@@user-qn6gs8xn7s She saved Britain from selfish union members like you. Of course, you hate her.
Erm. She’s dead?
Even though unemployment rose significantly during the time she was prime minister, she did a lot for that country. No politician today would to 2% of what she did
She actually created 2 million jobs over the course of her premiership
The unemployment was for good reason
@Jack Warner it was doomed all across every developed country
@@fran-kittyayers5329 That is not true, the country got richer even the poor.
I think we are reaping the mistakes she made with our over reliance on the service industry and immigration in our low skill, low pay economy - especially in the pandemic as it's ensured our economy has been hit the hardest in Europe.
When she states she had a theory or conclusion, you know this is a woman of deep thought, weighing the pros and cons and looking for the best outcome. There will be some negatives but she sides on the best outcomes.
A remarkable human
Well done Maggie SIMPLY THE BEST R.I.P MT
Agreed - apart from the disastrous poll tax.
a great personality
We so need someone like her now.
Love it!
Sarah Greene: "But isn't consensus what democracy's about?"
Mrs Thatcher (with THAT look) "No, it is not!"
You tell 'em, Maggie!
But it is...
On one hand she makes an excellent point but in reality you often/ mostly haveto work together with different people with different opinions, and to make something happen you need either a majority in parliament by your own party or a compromise with others.
she was so incredibly clear! so informed and organized, she studied very hard, this for sure.
@@Celisar1 That is complete nonsense. Consensus is lying to the public and using the opposition as an excuse. Governments are meant to make manifesto commitments that they deliver. The decline of politics is the result of trying to achieve consensus without offering anything to the public and the spiral of decline that has resulted.
Remarkable woman.
Every member of the Conservative party should be forced to watch this video again and again and again until they know every word.
I mean I hate Tories as much as anyone, but that's harsh.
Hear hear
@@robinlawson7624 Too much common sense for you useless, lefftie, whingers.
@@robinlawson7624 Funny. Solidarity.
Exactly
What a lovely person she was, R.I.P Lady Thatcher.
Are you mad
@@skatehq9445 Are you?
@@davidlynch9049 perfectly fine
Best PM this country has ever had, I was 18 and she was my first vote. Look who’s followed her since. Major,Blair,Brown,Cameron,May and now Boris. All weak and useless.
To be fair: weak in comparison. Only Boris is heading for truly weak. No-one could call Blair weak after what happened to the weapons inspector David Kelly and Brown must have been brave as well as stupid to sell our gold reserves at a record low price.
I remember her being asked by a journo what was her proudest achievement. With a wicked chuckle she replied “Tony Blair”. Nuff said.
Couldn’t agree more
Shameful to vote Tory.
It is true, the trade unions in this country in the 1970's were so strong they literally ground the country to a halt and we ended up having the 3 day week. The country needed Thatcher in the 1980's and she successfully broke the stranglehold that the unions had on the country in the 1970's. Love her or hate her, she stood on her principles and didn't budge. Would love to know her feelings on Brexit
3 day week was under Ted heath
@@sixtiesfan11 yes, she inherited it and then put an end to it.
She was really the first breixteer in office. She initially was pro Europe as a free trade area that cooperated. When she finally understood that it was going to be a politically and economically federalising project and went from the EC to the EU she rallied against it. There is her council of Europe speech. Which ultimately did for her. The pro Europe lot and grandees in the conservatives got rid of her.
I’ve never liked her politics, but it is interesting to hear her speak a bit more about her personal life.
Which ones didn't you like
@@MrDanielfff777 most probably the one's that let our industries go to the wall and her belief in trickle down theory- imagine anyone believing that if you made the wealthiest even wealthier the money would trickle down and make us all better off. They must have been laughing so much.
@@alan5863 Well 1, those industries left Europe, places like Germany let them go before she did
2 Well the rich have become richer and so have the poor, look at India and China. People leave poverty in the UK all the time
@@MrDanielfff777 The IMF would disagree with you about trickle down economics. It's the middle and low income workers that drive the economy. Excessive inequality is also bad for growth and dampens social mobility. Inequality also means more crime and worse health. And of course wealth inequality increases political inequality- see Conservative Party donors list.
Thatchers mistake was abandoning our industry and focusing instead on the financial sector and the service industry- carried on by Blair etc. It's not a coincidence we our economy is being hit the hardest in Europe.
@@alan5863 There is low inequalities in countries like Yemen, Congo and Afrigainistan, yet those countries are dismal. Plenty of crime there. There are more billionaires in the USA than there are in the whole of Africa and the Middle East put together, where would you prefer to live?
Our economy is one of the best and most freest in Europe

In that interview, she's 70 years old and still lucid, but it's obvious age has caught up with her. The interviewers treat her with both admiration and condescension. The tone of the conversation is as if she's your old granny who had a great career but is well past her prime.
I am working in a hospital and let me tell you: this is an extraordinarily fresh looking, sharp 70 year old in comparison.
I cannot see in what way age “has caught up with her”.
@@Celisar1 It has now.
It's the BBC! 😆
Her decline from insanity into senility was already well underway.
@@robinlawson7624 It is fairly well known by those around her that it was the strokes that she suffered from that did the measurable harm, prior to that she was no worse for wear than most at that age.
She speaks a lot of sense - to ignore her words would be ill-advised.
is it just me? she's very beautiful for an older lady!! very elegant and urbane
I had always admiret lady Thatcer🙂😊🇩🇰🇩🇰
I don't agree with most of her politics but she was an exceptional communicator.
NEITHER DO I BUT SHE WAS A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN BLAIR AND WHAT CAME AFTER HIM
Wow. I pray I can be half the woman she was.
So you can trickle down half the people she did into poverty and class differences?
Thatcher was a woman in a class of her own, a trained chemist and a steadfast leader.
Great woman 💪🏻 Lady Thatcher. 👏🏻👏🏻
thanks for putting this up, more of the same would be great :)
i LOVEEE this woman. Margareth thatcher wherever you are please come back and reincarnate back to life. We need u!

@@joannahall4082 even if you don’t like her don’t be so childish as to laugh at someone’s death and get a life
Very knowledgeable woman to listen to.
She is a captivating speaker
This interview shows a side of Margaret thatcher that I barely recognise from her time in politics. Her observation on democracy (choice vs consensus) is interesting.
I love this woman!
I, as many do, don't agree with some of her politics, but do I admire her? Yes I do
She really mellowed after she left office. Like a softer version of herself compared to 10 years before this...
A former Chaplain to the Speaker of the House of Commons during her time as PM wrote that she was actually this way whilst in office. He would encounter her in the corridors at Westminster and she would always make time to talk - about him and his family, taking an interest in him - and he saw her at a reception for the victims of a rail disaster, mingling with people who were still feeling the raw grief, talking to them about those they had sadly lost and offering what comfortable words she could. He added, having seen that, that he wished people could see more of that side of her, but the media seldom showed it, favouring instead the shrill belligerent woman standing at the Dispatch Box or at international conferences.
@@MS-19
To call a woman shrill is a phrase typically used by sexists. Let me add that Thatcher had a rather low voice .
@@Celisar1 "Shrill" wasn't my word. And you're right, she did indeed have a relatively low speaking frequency.
@@MS-19 The right wing media promoted the Tories relentlessly in the eighties and for decades before and has done since Thatcher too. I can accept that Thatcher could be kind and thoughtful in person, there are many tales that attest to this. But it does not detract from the egregious and heartless policies that she implemented in her time in office. She destroyed Britain and her legacy is all around today.
@@Celisar1 Perhaps but she did have voice training to modulate her voice.
A true hero of freedom
I TOTALLY AGREE, RIP PRINCESS
How politics has changed...... all summed up in a couple of sentences at 5:50
Many people didn't like her policies but they knew what they were getting. Nowadays "firmly held opinions" change overnight in a vain attempt to hold onto power.
I love the way the tone changes at 3:59 a serious point to be made and get whole demeanour changes. No fobbing off with soundbites and smiles.
🇬🇧 They don’t make women like this nomore 🇬🇧
They tried then the world ended up with Trump! 🙄
What TV unfortunately done. "Stopped conversation between children and parents "
Maggie would be turning in her grave if she knew what mobile phones have done to dialog between children and parents.
she’s spinning in her grave
Did not done.
Thank you, I never really had an opinion of Margaret Thatcher before she died. But after doing a bit of research, ive learnt that the tough decisions she made were necessary, and her steadfastness and determination I greatly admire. Her like are no more, instead we have too many PC politicians who make decisions based on trying to be popular. She never made any U-turns and stood by her convictions.This country owes her a great deal to her, history will be kind to her. RIP Lady Thatcher
You're welcome mate
We need just one person like her in political office!
She was absolutely brilliant, and had we have followed her basic principles we, as a nation would not be in the position we are today, was she perfect, unlike me and you, who are of course perfect, she was not. I haven't voted for several decades, but, if she was here and put up, I would without doubt vote for her.
Wow she is inspiring ❤
She is awesome
The reason she is so hated is also the reason why it can probably be fairly claimed that she was the last effective politician, who actually stood for something and did something (even if that divided opinion of her). What we are left with now is a bunch of career politicians, who have never had to make any hard decisions or take a role of real leadership in their lives. They are ALL the same, on both sides of the political divide.
Legend
Is there anyway we can't dig her up and re-animate her? God, she is needed right now.
She was cremated, just to be on the safe side. Thank fuck.
Distasteful and disrespectful comment.
Thatcher would have sorted Brexit- no issues
HOW?
@@rafflesxyz4800 because she would of had the heart for the battle, and also would not of been bullied by those unelected cowards from the EU
@@simplyg4037 / So we just leave with no deal then and be in a terrible situation.
Raffles XYZ task force to invade Brussels HQ :)
@@simplyg4037 She was pro-EU, she campaigned to join the European Union, simple Google search
It was also Callaghan who removed full employment, putting it up to 1.5 million. Yes Thatcher had it higher (temporarily) but this was due mainly to the oil crisis and partly her determination to keep inflation down (understandable surely). But don't let anyone know she argued against removing free milk in cabinet and SOME miners striked without a ballot ;)
Consensus feels strangely like how people want Brexit or how its failing to be implemented
OMG she is on the money, communism vs capitalism
Oh that God would grant Britain one more leader like this.
I admire her conviction, despite it being flawed, and we do need more politicians who believe what they say, rather than say what they think people want to hear.
OMG, those kittens have no idea who theyre talking to LOL
Fabulous!
10 out of 10 for intellectual rigour, even though I disagree with many her specific policies and philosophy.
Wonderfull woman
"But isn't consensus what democracy is all about?"
MT: NO it is not.
I even felt a little scolded when she turned her head down and said "No, it is not!" Lol 😂
She’s absolutely right - no society can function if every individual has a say on every single thing all of the time - leads to chaos.
@@MarthaMansbridge That wasn't her key point. Her point was, that if all political forces eek out some kind of a consensus, which is a partial compromise of what everyone believes, then the voter does not have any more voice. The voter can no longer choose one option above another in order to state his or her preference.
He says “Isn’t that a recipe for discord “he says this to the longest serving prime minister and UK history. I think she knows what she’s talking about mate.
"Isn't consensus what democracy is about?" How the hell does someone arrive at this conclusion?
NO IT IS NOT!!!
I say, this woman is right! What you mention, is the opportunity given ...and it's still needed! There aren't any such people anymore.
She was great at marketing. This show had millions of viewers. She went on Wogan and Saturday Superstore too.
I wish modern politicians would watch this and learn.
What Margaret Thatcher said then about tv and lack of interaction in the home rings more true today than ever, with the advent and ever progression of social media. The family unit is on it's way out.
Didnt think it at the time being a Labour supporter but based on hindsight and listening to her speak i have a huge amount of respect for this lady.John Major,Hestletine and Ken Clarke need putting down.
Amazing video she is ace .
Our best Prime minister
She educates these two perfectly.
I'm surprised she went on a tacky programme like that.
its not tacky its the 90`s lol
@@chrisd8580 🤣🤣🤣
To see these pygmies attempt to pull her down...
Democracy covers all..
Rather Good Morning Summer than Good Morning Britain
I would have asked this great woman how to prevent monopolies and corruption in the free world.
Lady Thacher will be our greatest Prime Minister.
And Churchill?
Interestingly she side stepped questions about it being a loving or affectionate upbringing, she also accepted how she didn't see much of her own grandchildren.
She expressed her wish to see more of them and her disappointment that they live far away. What do you want, tears?
@@Celisar1 No not particularly, just pointing out that say what you like about her being an effective leader and statesman, when it comes down to it she sidestepped the question about a loving upbringing which is why she never understood compassion.
She seems perfectly lovely here! :) although I think if I interviewed her I'd be scared of the Iron Lady ! :) x
A true leader she was!
I vehemently disagree with her politics but she was a very wise woman. I especially think she’s correct in terms of the bad influence television, and now the internet, have had on family life.
well said Mark
