@@jerometaperman7102 Yeah, in British-style parliaments, you have to be able to speak while other members do their best to loudly distract you. The U.S. Congress followed the example of the Iroquoi , who always took turns speaking. A much more civilized way of debate, to be sure.

I could not sympathize more with Mrs. Jackson for we are under a Thatcherist government in Argentina at present.

Ikr, it baffles me too how people can still vote for this rubbish. But you can say what you want about Thatcher - at least she had principles, albeit the wrong ones. Unlike whatever this is that calls itself the government now, they're just a spineless fucking mess.

English sheep are easy to manipulate with the Tory press. It's all immigrants fault innit.

As can the Black report the report that Thatcher did not want published even though Thatcher requested the now Lord Black a Torie to do it. Thatcher did not like the findings re UK inequality so the report was parked. The report was leaked. Take time to read it is very much relevant today as is this remarkable speech from the Great late Glenda Jackson. No doubt Torrid Tories are a brutal Toxic political party and government. Grave indeed. If Tories are not taking out for a generation their brutal brutality will have no stopping point. Yes very grave indeed.

This reminds me of what I said when the tories took power again this time , first with Boris Johnson and now with Rishi Sunack. I hope all the people who voted them back in are pleased when they reap what they have sewn. Unfortunately I wasn't at any of the parties that were thrown when Thatcher died but I would have loved to have been at one. If it's actually possible the current tory administration seems like it might be even more stupid ignorant and nasty than Thatcher's evil reign of darkness. I'm glad Glenda Jackson said what I have been thinking for many years too. The Sex Pistols sang God Save The Queen , she ain't no human being . But they could have so easily sung it about Margaret Thatcher. In fact I think it is very unfair on the late Queen . Not so much on Thatcher. Thatcher was no human being. I wouldn't even call her a monster for fear of offending monsters which are far nicer creatures. RIP Glenda Jackson. The world misses you.

Unfortunately, peoples short term memories also forget Tory Blair purged many leftwing Labour MP's like Glenda Jackson from the Labour party, like Starmer is doing today.

Very well said freind .

Absolutely spot on.

Yes too right it's terrible

Bollocks

Who is that bloke who was so "gung ho"? He needs an award.

Labour has been coöpted by billionaires and the Zionist lobby. Irredeemable.

Today's Labour Party is not the one she was motivated to join. Can we imagine Keir Starmer making a speech like this? Everything has to be safe and bland, for fear of rocking the boat.

They might have if they had not been foaming at the mouth to jettison Jeremy Corbyn. Everybody keeps pointing out that he never formed the government, to which I argue, the elites within his party (who rolled over from Blair and Brown) behaved as if they were trying to lose on purpose in the hopes someone someone who would take the knee for special interests. And I argue that is exactly what happened, and that they were prepared to lose in perpetuity because they would rather make deals with the people who profited off the problems, then actually solve the problems. Hence the SNP calling them Tori light when they were under Ed Miliband’s leadership.

Labour has been the party of Thatcherism since 1997

Great woman ! God bless her ☘️.

A truth that we need to keep in mind is that doing nothing is a decision. Doing nothing is not the same as not making a decision. You can decide to do nothing and that means that other people will make the decisions for you.

And who is going to pay now for all the universal health care since our population is full of a bunch of people who are undocumented and wish to remain undocumented, so we give them better health care than people who are citizens. But citizens don't count, do they? Sen. Barack Obama co-sponsor S. 1033 in the 109th CONGRESS IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 12, 2005 A BILL To improve border security and immigration. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS. (a) Short Title.-This Act may be cited as the “Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act”. (7) Illegal immigration fosters other illegal activity, including human smuggling, trafficking, and document fraud, all of which undermine the national security interests of the United States. (8) Illegal immigration burdens States and local communities with hundreds of millions of dollars in uncompensated expenses for law enforcement, health care, and other essential services. Citizens don't count, do they? Obama said they do, in 2005 but to get your vote, he said something different in to get your vote. This is taken directly from, and I mean directly, not from another source, not from a Republican or Conservative website, this is Congress.gov, the official website of tracking what every senator has voted for, put his name on, signed, sponsored or co-sponsored. Now, do you agree that universal health care will work in the United States?

And now her evil agenda is destroying Britain. As do all socialist.

she reminded me of a British Bernie Sanders

She wrote noting of significance, she said nothing memorable. Some of her acting will be remembered, but she left no intellectual legacy. I don't say that because I disagree with her, but because it is true. There have been politicians who wrote books worth reading, but she did not. To the extent that she is remembered, it will be for a few films and some TV.

I think we can be pretty certain that the Queen herself was of the same mind as you and Glenda. I think during Thatcher's premiership, it was the only time her opinion on a sitting PM leaked to the press, and it wasn't complimentary. I know the palace threw a staffer under the bus for it, but considering her favourite PM was Wilson, there had to be some substance to those headlines.

Absolutely bang on excellent speech Condolences 🙏 we will miss this Lady she was truly honourable. 👍🌹

Rip Glenda May Jackson, you will be missed

@@jameshall6061 Right, Thatcher was a " bellend ".

Love you comment. What a contrast to the tory who responded. He was like a caricature of a nasty, sinister, souless, psycopath! Then the speaker arrived, and wasn't he on the money! We need more Glenda Jacksons.

Well Bryan I’m sorry to say you are correct.

It always needs to repeat itself until lessons are learnt!

Very well said.

Its called neoliberalism, and its what's destroying our western societies today.

Hogarth's satiric realistic portraits of dystopian 18th century London -- A Rake's Progress; and companion pieces Beer Street and Gin Lane (in one a drunken young mother leans out a window, her baby about to topple to the street below) -- happily raised mass consciousness and wrought some will to reform.

I’m not at all sure that she used her celebrity in her political career at all. She used her abilities as an actor to good effect when speaking, and she knew the time to leave politics and have her swansong in her original career. She was just a brilliant actor, possibly the best we’ve ever had, and she surrendered that for her spell as an MP fighting for causes close to her heart. RIP Glenda.

👍🏾

I've been getting into US politics over the last 18 months, and I've been very impressed with _some_ members of your Congress who I think could hold their own against/stand shoulder-to-shoulder with, Our Glenda (who was magnificent). We'll gloss over MTG, Boebert, Santos, Jordan, Gaetz et al, and focus on the eloquence of Jamie Raskin, O'Rourke, Porter, Buttegieg (sp?) and the magnificent Hakeem Jeffries to name but a few.

Shes mad thatcher was hot and she’s deformed

What a poisonous hateful speech to give to the memory of Baroness Thatcher RIP.

For SylviaBaxter. Of course you and I both have the absolute right to hold different opinions of Margaret Thatcher, however, I am wondering if you were an adult when she became p.m., or if you directly suffered because of the uncaring damage she caused for millions of people in all walks of life, or if you were employed amongst the many thousands of working people whose livelihoods were destroyed because of her insane hatred of unions. Everything Glenda Jackson said in her H of C speech about Margaret Thatcher was absolutely true. Before Thatcher ever rose beyond a more junior ministerial position, because of her miserliness and deeply uncharitable behaviours,she was commonly known as ‘Thatcher, the school milk snatcher’. Rightly, Thatcher was hated by millions of good people in Britain.

@@sylviabaxter265 It was all true. Sometimes the truth hurts.
