not so iron facing communist China! she surrendered Hong Kong to communist China! she is basically a bully , only though when facing the more vulnerable!

@@TELEVISIBLE I thought that was after her tenure? Sorry, my British history is sketchy at best... But yeah, my jaw about fully reached the floor by, "If we're to turn this country around, we really must abandon outdated & misguided notions of collective duty." ................. JAYSUS

@@TELEVISIBLE if you think China was more powerful than NATO in the 90s, you know nothing of history

China and the UK already had a written down agreement that Hong Kong has to be "given back" to China after 100 years .... So Thatcher wouldnt be able to do anything, even if she wanted to without starting a war

Exactly! It was just skipped over.

This series is about the queens life, not Margaret Thatcher - it wouldn't really make sense to include parts of her life that wasn't in the lime light of the public. But there is a scene that shows a younger Thatcher at University but I would agree that they could've made parts of her rise to leader of the opposition as her appearance in this series was set from 1979 when it could've been from 1975.

I feel dumb. What do you mean?

Thank you!.. someone pls pin this comment

Netflix have edited this video and changed it to head of government

Thatcher wasn’t head of state.

You are one hot lady 😍

They’ve changed it now. All ok!

reminds me of Sarah Palin lmao

Peter Morgan is gillians partner btw

Emmy worthy performance! Same with Josh O’Conner playing Prince Charles.

It’s because thatcher thought that people needed to take care of themselves, not depend on the government. In other words, government should get out of the way and people should get off the couch and go to work,

Gillian was a bit exaggerated for me. The accent was too drawn out sounded like an 80yo Margaret not the sharp as whip jutting interruptions of thatcher prime. Also no constant smirk. Thatcher was really more obtuse with her self belief always performing. Gillian interpretation was more understated. Streep interpretation was more accurate for me

Just give Gillian all the awards now, she kicked butt.

Hardly a slip of the tongue, she is reading a script. Quite the mistake from the makers of The Crown.

They’ve corrected the video now.

classic far right figure...cut social benefits...increase police and military ten fold

In what way does paying the police a rise (a drop in the ocean in terms of the national budget) mean major cuts to defence?

Brown haired lady did NOT get it right.

Rather strange to get that one wrong given this is from the makers of The Crown.

She literally said "head of government" (which she was), not "head of state"

Netflix have edited the video. She DID say head of state but now they’ve changed it to be right.

She was a truly evil witch

In name only. The queen just sits there and absorbs money.

They’ve changed the video to head of government now.

It's such qualm to remember that their analysis about the history is splendid yet still failed to address their subjects perfectly.

but she literally says "head of governmenr" though

@@maxblomqvist4794 you’re right! But I swear I heard head of state. I saw this minutes after it was posted, and I’m not the only one who noticed it. Regardless, season 4 is kicking ass!

@@ramonhara7673 Tons of people are correcting her in the comments and its driving me nuts 😂 and yeah season 4 was great

Yeah saw dat . I was surprised

It’s actually pretty common knowledge that Buckingham Palace has a mouse infestation. Although the palace denies it, many visitors have seen mice when they visited.

I'm of the opinion that much of the vaunted gdp numbers of China in recent years have been propped up by State banks paying their failing and uncompetitive state run enterprises (that employ millions of Chinese). Now that C19 has decimated external demand and caused an internal crisis, perhaps the Chinese miracle has ended.

@@azmodanpc That is a very good point - I had not made that connection and I should have. We do a very bad job of studying and teaching the effects of the 1970’s stagflation crisis in current economics - we too often blame just the oil price shocks without focusing on the massive structural deficits governments were running and the crony-capitalist statist economy that existed (students today truly do not understand that the economy of the 1970s was so much more regulated and state sponsored than today in ways they could not imagine - companies like Über literally would have been illegal), so I think you draw a very compelling comparison of China today to the UK and US of the 1970’s with large state run enterprises and regulation and how it crippled these economies and caused massive inflation in order to support it. Very interesting.

@@cxa340 I think mainstream media is underestimating the total failure of the one child policy in China. The ramification there are staggering since there's no welfare, no safety net for the elderly (the young are educated since childhood to take care economically for their parents, always) and in 10 years time the working population (today's baby boomers) will start to retire. Nowadays many couples are finding it very difficult to raise children (even without the restriction of the one child policy lifted) and the replacement rate is trending ever lower. Coupled with a massive sprawl of state run enterprises and rising debt, the possibility that China will age before it gets rich is very high.

@@azmodanpc Ok - I would have to see the population data on this, but interesting point and we can look to the Eurozone to see this has already played out in other industrial countries before with dramatically awful economic consequences for almost everyone. Italy being probably the best example where for 20 years they were below replacement level and the effect has been an increasingly expensive state thrusted upon a smaller and smaller workforce, and we can look at almost any other eurozone country and find the same effects (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, even Germany to some extent), where higher government costs and smaller populations of workers became the catalyst for production to move to cheaper economies like Poland and Hungary when regulatory barriers were lifted and opportunities became available. If you hypothesis is correct, and the EU data would seem to suggest it is, then I would wager we will see industrial production move out of China and into other states like Vietnam, or more likely because of stability into Latin America where a strong dollar will make production in Brasil, Colombia, Chile, or El Salvador both cost effective and reliable. This could be hugely disastrous for China.

@@cxa340 Vietnam is already a main hub for low tech production outsourced from China. Bangladesh and other countries are already producing the textiles that China used to manufacture in the 90s and 2000s. Xi put all his weight on the tech industries and pushed for the IT local industries to counteract the western monopolies on tech. Regarding the similarities with the EU, it's true that many countries are paying through their noses for the staggering debt incurred and the reduction in active workforce but China has the added malus of limited immigration and a per capita income that's still very low. The fact that they have to import a big chunk of their foodstuff and are dependent on the dollar to buy just about everything is a drag too. I just don't see how they get out of the population and income trap. Their workforce is becoming very expensive too and I'm really interested in the real numbers for the exports (esp. since this christmas and thanksgiving will be less "rich").

@@Jozy6264 so because she didnr give women jobs because of their gender, shes anti feminist? Grow up lol

Maggie didnt like women she wasn't a feminist, she was just ambitious I've heard her say some awful things about women being weak and worrying About monthly etc.

It was clear at the end of the 70s, that the current economic policies were becoming more and more obsolete. But the way of changing this was way too rigid. Deindustrialisation was a mistake

@@oLii96x thanks for opinion 😄

Triggered because she didn't give working people hand outs. She worked her way to the top but you expect her to pander to people that cant help themself?

Britain in the 70s was on the slide into economic oblivion after years of socialism had created a lazy entitled population used to government hand outs and labour union dictatorship. She was hated because she was both a woman and a conservative, but she put down the foundation that made the UK the economic power it is today and made London the economic and financial centre of Europe.

Nice reference

Maybe you have a foot fetish?

Put it this way, I'm from one of the northern towns who were destroyed when she took away people's only source of income. Whilst what you see looks great on paper, she did it without safety nets or retraining throngs of blue-collar working-class workers. People worked, people were proud to work. Please do not make the mistake of harping on about the old adage of people not wanting to work because of free money.

@@lois7956 The lesson you should have learned is if a government can give something, then it can take it away. Sure they wanted to work. The problem is that all those towns were working on a house built on sand (i.e. other people's money controlled by a huge corporation called government). The whole point of Thatcher's policies is that the British Government had become one huge "safety net" about to fall on everyone. Your solution is basically replacing one safety net with another.

@@n.d.m.515 And look where it got us.

@@lois7956 where did it get us?

Oh, fuck you

It good job nothing like that happens now [slowly looks at USA]

To me, Thatcher was the best Prime Minister the Uk ever had. What you were taught about Thatcher was right. She and Regan were very much alike. They were even friends. The fact that she was PM for about 11 years just goes to show that she was a popular PM, despite having waves of unpopularity. If the British people wanted her out, then the Tories (short for the Conservatives party) would have done so a lot quicker than wait 11 whole years to do it. You don't know this about the Tories but, if they want to remove their leader, they'll do it no matter what. You only say she was a despot, despite not actually knowing a lot of her policies, I'm willing to bet. Thatcher had to bring the UK out of crippling debt due to a few reasons: one of them was partly to do with the financial aftermath of WW2, the other would be because of the Labour governments nationalising everything and giving more power to the Trade Unions. The power the Union had was so much that it caused the WInter of Discontent, that led Thatcher in the first place to win the 1979 General election, beating out James Callaghan (Labour PM at the time, your version of the Democrats). Thatcher curbing the Union's power was because of the public hating them so much. If anything, the Winter of discontent harmed the Uk more than Thatcher did. She wasn't a despot or despot adjacent. If she was, then the show would have been ousted immediately. In the UK, we have measures in place to remove PMs. It's called a "no-confidence motion", Basically, if the House of Commons loses confidence in the government, then the PM must call a general election so that a new government can be formed. I'm gonna assume you don't know the reason why the UK went to war with the Falklands. Long story short, Argentia invaded British land (The Falkland Islands), the UK responded. If someone just decided to one day try and take over a state, I doubt anyone in America would be too thrilled about that. Thatcher also wants an imperialist. She actually did a lot to help the poor, like her housing policy: she basically allowed for families to buy the council houses they were renting. This policy helped a lot of people get on the property ladder, and help them be more successful. Thatcher was also fine with having poor people and a divided society economically, so long as the standards, and what you get even when you're poor are better than what it could've been if you were poor in the 1950s. this is something I personally agree with. Finally, I think you overestimate Thatcher's situation. For all intents and purpose, she wasn't supposed to be PM. she wasn't even supposed to be the leader of the Tories/ leader of the opposition (basically a government in waiting for if the real government loses an election/ the current PM resigns to force an election. In the instance of the latter, the leader of the opposition would have 14 days to make a new government). when she was voted party leader, most of the party didn't like the fact that a woman was in charge of them. She also quite clearly worked hard to get where she got to. her father was also a greengrocer, which was not a high paying job. I've left a lot of information out and condemned what I did write about, but hopefully, this was informative. We probably have different ideas to how the Uk and the USA should be run, since you don't like Thacher or Regan, and I love them both,

"The Crown" is a work of fiction based loosely on real events and people. Nearly all the events and people depicted are done so crudely and exaggerated for dramatic effect. This little puff piece is here to entice you to watch the series, so won't contradict it greatly.

Britain was a world power for hundreds of years before she turned up?

@@williamcarter3933 By the 1970's, it was decrepit and decaying.

True!! They’ve corrected this video now though.

You need to understand how bad the British economy was in 1979 - imagine having inflation rates upwards of 20% so that buying a house, car, or major appliance is expensive simply because of the interest rate on your credit, imagine whole entire industries protesting and refusing to work like coal miners and garbage collectors yet you as a taxpayer keep having to pay more and more in taxes for less services, and imagine your children having no chance of finding a job because there is no economic growth within the country because industry is strangled. By 1979 the British economy had become an economy of selected winners and a lot of losers - anyone who was not politically collected and worked in a public entity was a loser in this game and expected to pay more and receive less while public sector employees wielded huge political influence and were the winners able to demand huge parts of the British budget to pay for their existence. Thatcherism was more about restoring a sense of justice and fair play than anything and ending the politics corruption of the Heath government that saw ordinary working people being destroyed by political mismanagement and corruption.

thats hilarious 🤣

Yep, the myth of so called conservatives that are spoon fed Randism (what's mine is mine and the rest can eff off) is appalling. Your privilege and existence is based in great part on enormous public investment and regulation. But then again most of those politicians are sheltered snobs that conned their way into power.
