@@HikoBenny4ever You are probably quite right, but I do wish she had been given the chance to show what she could do, instead of being yanked off the stage like a pantomime dame with a crook around her neck.
“It was treachery with a smile on its face, perhaps that was the worst thing of all” (Thatcher). The wet ‘Men’ let her down, the UK down and us all down.
"It was treachery etc etc". Probably the most childish thing she ever said (and that is a crowded field.) Thatcher engineered the downfall of her predecessor while she was a member of his government. "Treachery" or not? I don't say she was an innately bad human being but she was arrogant, she refused to listen to anyone about anything, she was politically intelligent but in the realities of life she displayed an unequaled naivety and her lack of self awareness was simply stunning. She clawed her way to the top using ruthless tactics, whined like a child when she was "deposed" and was, in general, a complete disaster for Britain. All in all an object lesson in how not to do things.
@@petersutton523 Her predecessor had lost the general election and the Tories we in opposition when Thatcher won the leadership election. Thatcher was removed whilst she was PM - a democratically elected PM, so its hardly a fair comparable.

Yes that's true, I'm a man and she was certainly had plenty of balls. God knows what state Britain would have been in had she not had the balls to change things. It was treacherous how they got rid of her, but I do think she did become dictatorial in the end. In politics once a prime minister is not good for the country they are removed unfortunately but that is politics. We need a strong leader today. I don't know how Rishi Sunak will turn out, I don't know him well enough but as chancellor he did allow the government to spend trillions on getting a jab sorted for Covid, and helped people maintain some sort of income as well as doing a lot to stop businesses from failing. I will watch him with interest.
Oh!God!This iron lady of indomitable will was your wonderful creation!My mother-land India greatly needs a like of her ,at this moment, to stand by the suffering humanity here!
What ever you think of her ideas, I can't think of a more fascinating leader in modern history She came from nowhere and was possessed by some kind of other wordly energy Almost every interview she gives is rammed full of memorable quotes, and she's never phoning it in, she was a force of nature
Although I found her heavy handed policies of deindustrialization and privatization horrendous, I admire her reforms and drastic changes that did leave britain in much better condition than what she inherited. I believe in a welfare state but what it had become was a socialist bureaucratic inefficient mess that needed fixing
'She got them to bend to her will in a way with a skill that was wholly female and totally feminine' - Cut to a picture of Mrs Thatcher looking particularly terrifying.
I can't believe I somehow missed this one when you posted it. You can tell that she's very bitter when she talks about things. I also noticed that she's definitely got the lip curl.
Well she did win 3 elections only to be thrown out by her own team members. It was really a pretty sad moment for representative democracy considering that Thatcher's mandate came directly from the "people" - which is precisely who Thatcher served. There's no doubt that such treatment deeply upset Thatcher for many years after, and being a proud, strong, fighter she would continue to go on defending herself and her record. 11 years of controlling the most elite of British men was for a lone woman - stunningly incredible - especially when you consider how hard it is to stay in that role because u can be toppled literally at any time at all. Unlike the guaranteed 4 years of the US leader.

The arrogance of Prior, Pimm (Pymm?) and the ludicrous Gilmour is staggering. If it was not for her, they would be completely forgotten today. And deservedly so.
11:50.....Bitter much? I'm not so sure it's a great thing to round up and interview a bunch of old disgruntled former Tory cabinet ministers under Thatcher's early years as PM, as they were most likely given the boot out of cabinet by Thatcher herself. The resentment and humiliation of that will not disappear even over decades I should think. And it seems to manifest itself in some of the gentleman's comments here. Though to be fair it is titled "Thatcher's early years" and these people should be consulted. Whether their comments are objective is the question I guess.
I agree with her when she said women had to make the tough decisions. Men don't think we have it as tough as them, but in fact we have it tougher. We have to work harder to prove ourselves.

28:1' Helmut Schmidt complaining that he wasn't acceptable to be talked to so forcefully and that it alienated people. By my reckoning he'd have been around 20 old when WWII started - not used to being spoken to forcefully? Really? By a woman maybe...
The wishy washiness of the wets thoroughly disgust and appall me. The fact they were (or are even still today) more worried about upsetting or offending politicians in other countries rather than sticking up for our own interests says everything about Project Fear today. It's nice to see all these wets with tenures lasting until 81/82 and then the arrival of Tebbit and the real Thatcherites. I can imagine in the early 80's the civil service was still stuck in the 1960s with their pathetic idea of managed decline.
Agreed, we need a leader like her right now. We need a return to neoliberalism and self responsibility. If I was prime minister, the welfare state would be cut to it's bare bones and I would scrap the minimum wage.
Very very odd documentary. Thatcher is described as right wing politician and Heath as left wing, although the direct opposite is closer to the truth. Heath belonged to the old Tory establishment of landed gentry that despised everyone that tried to climb the social ladder where Thatcher was a lower class rebel that tried to give other that came from the same background the opportunity to climb themselves. If giving working class people the means to liberate themselves isn't left wing I don't know what is.
All of Europe would be speaking German without the British and Americans. It appears the people of the EU need a history lesson and learn to show some gratitude.
In terms of history I would look up division 303 battle of britain then how they were treated? Though I do love this country just the politicians are ...
Very interesting to listen to the sober, sane views of the old, still reasonable Tories - the 'wets', as Mrs Thatcher called them - before the Conservatives became an extremist neoliberal party.
She was amazing. But, even considering the kind of utter wankers in the Tory party she was having to castrate at that time, I find it difficult when I try to think fondly of her. I was a boy of no more than nine when she began, but if I was the age then that I am now, and had her ear for a moment, I would tell her that most of us in this country aren't wankers like them and need a little understanding and a lot of love. Spare a thought for the dispossessed in this inevitable economic sea change. They are good, Christian family people, just like you. But I think that because of her battles with the utter wankers, the pachyderm political Thatcher instead of the Franciscan believer in us as a nation became, quite quickly, the one we all expected to encounter and learnt, as her loyal, supportive electorate, to work around instead of with. She became too terrifying to love - which has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with perceived power. That, in the end, degrades good will which is fatal for a risk-taking politician no matter how brilliant SHE (or he) is. I think it's why all apart from the moronic left at the time - most people in other words - (and a time which I remember very well because I was in my first term at university when she was destroyed by her own party) - just shrugged when it happened and she was driven out. "Never mind, who's next?" we all thought - for a brief moment in 1990. "John Major? You have to be kidding! He's a twat!" Yet that was, in the most important way, her greatest triumph. Her battles, with which at first the people utterly identified one way or another, were long over. She'd won them all. In me and millions like me, she'd created a generation of Britons who had no idea what the 1970s were. She'd created a generation of young people who liked to sell stuff. But, in doing so, at the end she had became a part of history instead of one of its greatest makers. I feel a bit shitty about that. Maybe it's because in spite of my best efforts I'm basically a Thatcher baby (as we all are) - and feel totally ungrateful for all that she did for me while I was naked and incapable of taking care of myself. I never had a chance to thank her. And if you think Owen Jones and his mob are any different from me (the loudmouth, low great Trot is about ten years younger than me so he's basically a second generation Thatcher baby), ask that hypocritical prick how much he charges for an appearance on a TV show. And then ask him why. If he doesn't say "because my labour and time are private and I know what they are worth and how to demand fair compensation thanks to Margaret Thatcher", then he is a pig-ignorant, loud-mouthed little scrote, or a fucking liar. But you already knew that :)
'may we bring harmony where there is discord' my God-remember the ugly violence that went on for _far_ too long during the miners strike? and what about the poll tax riots? The whole of central London in a huge uproar and police charging about on horseback? _harmony?_ and hell isn't a little hot?

What she was was a brilliant performer who could talk anyone down with incredible cleverness, determination and calmness. This series though shows her for her true horribly delusional colours. Anyone who is ultimately myopic as she was is delusional and that's why she was cast out.
She was terse and sometimes boorish, but principally correct about many things. Her demeanor was likely much to do with the fact a woman in politics has to compensate for any perceived feminine weakness by being stern and firm, and ultimately unfeminine.
Speegs23 Principally wrong about a great many things more. Constantly bleating about government spending yet reducing it by clever book keeping and in the end not reducing it at all but only changing where it was spent, mainly subsidising big business at the expense of the poor.
