Shame on the red wall Tories who have short memories

Glenda was an impressive orator and every word true. Great woman.

"people" Tory MPs are not people, they're big bags of pork in suits

Tory simps!

That's the drawback of being a predator. Once you run out of victims, the alternative is to eat your arms off, then the legs . . .

These comments were golden.

PPE contracts... BOOM

And the Starmerites. If she was still an MP they would deselect her.

A more spineless individual as leader of the Labor party there is not I'm afraid.

Well she'd played to a lot of tough crowds before becoming an MP ;)

Brilliantly went on despite those the despicable rable attempting to sound her out and the speaker allowing the idiots to do as they please.

LOL

Well said Glenda, I and many more of my generation, despised that creature

'... after 12 years of Tory misrule.' - And 13 years of Blairite rule that did nothing too reverse Thatcherism.

absolutely

All of Thatcher's tributes to her political opponents were generous.

Care to look back at the way she talked about the miners and their leaders. She wasn’t charitable

@@briandelaney9710To be fair Joe Gargery and Melanie Wilkes would find it hard to be charitable to Arthur Scargill.

⁠​⁠@@CanadianMonarchistit wasn’t about being charitable to Scargill. It was about basic human decency to communities that she chose to desecrate for spite and are still filled with poverty and unemployment to this day! After the strikes those that didn’t give in early on were deliberately economically punished for standing up for themselves. We live in these places unlike someone in Canada so can actually comment on the impact of that Witch. If there’s any truth in what the Vicar told us on Sunday as kids and Jesus’s Rich and Poor man story Thatchers now cooking alive while Glenda’s looking on from her new cloud home 😂

❤

Definitely! She really puts me in mind of the great Michael Foot.

In America, theres no difference between liberals and republicans, the poor stay poor. Bernie is supposed to not be a neoliberal although he doesn't offer much needed change, the problem is that America is so far behind and doesn't even have universal healthcare. Theres lots that need to be done here in america to.

You posted this before COVID-19 struck. Imagine the NHS dealing simultaneously with COVID & Thatcherism

@@bannor99 it is.

@@aj7058 Don't the Tories want to keep the NHS? Correct if I'm wrong.

@@rickardkaufman3988 lmfao. No. The Tories do not want to keep the NHS. They have been systematically starving it of funding while making a quick (personal) profit by privatizing bits and pieces. They roll the NHS out as a talking point because it's a really genuinely good thing that almost every voter wants to have and keep and improve. They have destroyed it while claiming to be trying to make it better but using their own destruction as a reason to destroy it further. The Tories are very much anti-NHS.

2nd best speech aside from Churchill's "Never Give Up." What guts.

@@HaggisMuncher-69-420 Currently has the literal paedophile pride flag(or as the users of it refer to it the "minor attracted persons" flag) on their profile picture clearly an individual with an abysmal moral backbone so it's no surprise they're a thatcherite

You people haven’t listen to or read the speeches that have taken place in this house if you think some stupid rant about how bad thatcher messed up her schools is one of the greatest.

What resonated with me was when she said everything she had been raised to believe with a vice was under Thatcherism a virtue. This has become especially true over here in the United States and it has been getting progressively worse.

What resonated with me was, as someone who went to school during Thatcher's administration, her brutally accurate description of the schools I went to, the classrooms I sat in, the textbooks we had to use.

If the things of vice you talk about are capitalism , free market , downsizing of big / corrupt government , hard work to enjoy the fruits of your labor , self sufficiency , then those are my virtues and I cherish them dearly . But you are receiving much disinformation. These things I mentioned are not vices. They are virtues of a free country and pillars to a person's dignity and prosperity.

@@mikekaroules2820 "If the things of vice you talk about are capitalism , free market , downsizing of big / corrupt government , hard work to enjoy the fruits of your labor , self sufficiency , then those are my virtues and I cherish them dearly ." Why? "But you are receiving much disinformation." What disinformation? From where? My own personal experience during my own childhood? "These things I mentioned are not vices. They are virtues of a free country and pillars to a person's dignity and prosperity." How?

@@MrOlympuse410 Margaret Thatcher was one of the most sensible politicians Brittian ever had, who rightly broke the necks of the unions who were suffocating the country's economy with endless strikes and unrealistic demands. Without her, the UK would've been Venezuela by now.

Australia is going through it now.

Beth black Not exactly. Reagan was elected the year after Thatcher, but he was well known as a conservative going back to 1964, with his actively campaigning for Goldwater, and his strong opposition to Medicare. Soon after, he was elected Governor of California, serving two terms. He thought about running for President in 1968, getting a few votes in that year’s Republican National Convention, and made a serious run in 1976, contesting the incumbent President Gerald Ford, who was considerably more moderate. He finally won the Presidency in 1980. But he had been in politics for many years before Thatcher became Prime Minister, and Reagan was always much farther to the right than many other Republicans in elective office at that time. So the two got where they did independently, but they shared many of the same ideas. I don’t say this as a fan of either Head of Government, I’m just pointing out the history.

Darrell Robert Parker Reagan. Yes. And Republicans have continued to be a bad influence worldwide ever since.

Neoliberals, and Thatcher was their poster girl.

Not in Congress but my aunt sure as hell did .

It was the same in the USA under Reagan as in the UK under Thatcher. What many of us had been taught were vices all of a sudden were hailed as virtues.

Outrageous statement.

A great socialist? I guess they should bury her in Highgate Cemetary next to Karl Marx.

@@TheTradWarrior pmsfl. And pray tell, what have you done with your life..?

@@suzannemanktelow2005 Ooh I dunno..... Let me think. I have prevailed as a performer of my art against a lot of setbacks in earlier life. I've paid off a mortgage and now own two comfortable properties outright. I'm moderately well-known and respected by my peers and community. I've raised four kids who are all doing ok in their chosen careers. I've never kowtowed to the mob tactics so prevalent in today's society. A good actress can play many roles on stage or film that don't necessarily accord with her own character: think Sarah Lancashire, Nicola Walker, Ingrid Bergmann, Maria Callas; the list goes on. Glenda Jackson could really only play Glenda Jackson. Btw, there is nothing 'great' about being a socialist. That's why your position and statement were so outrageous. "Rest in power"? Oh please, just grow up!

@@TheTradWarrior Your opinion of Glenda Jackson's acting is at odds with the majority opinion of the critics so I have to consider your opinion, and that is what it is, subjective not objective, as biased. Unless you have been a member of the RSC and won two Oscars I will ignore your opinion.

Very well put, Nathan.

What do you mean. She insulted the legacy of one of the greatest women the world has ever seen. See she deserves to be shunned for the rest of her life and booted out of politics.

@@seancameron149thatcher is only appealing on a surface level, supposedly strong and no-nonsense. Once you go deeper into the ideology you see the callous treatment of working class communities through backward policies. Everything Glenda said was true, public services were a mess, publicly owned companies sold off to the highest bidder, section 28 reinforcing the oppression of homosexuals. Did I mention the funnelling money to death squads in Ireland? So you’re goddamn right about her being insulted.

@@seancameron149she spoke nothing but facts and tories wetted themselves. One of the greatest women the world has ever seen my arse.

@@Weakeyedominant wtf? She loved socialism. Moron

@@Weakeyedominant I highly doubt she'd be smiling from hell. Hope you're enjoying the Boris shit show. Dodgy PPE rejected from Turkey, failed track and trace system, endless u turns (what did Maggie say about u turns?), Cummings not getting fired, and no 'oven ready deal'. I work in customs and believe me, a no deal will fuck this Country up on dynamic proportions. So enjoy :)

@@snads8415 I thought you thefties didn't believe in heaven or hell. Why would Boris sack his most capable advisor for spreading Covid in his car? Track and Trace was always going to be a challenge when culturally people don't like doing what they are told. Socially distancing is not rocket science and neither is self isolation if you have symptoms so we can't blame the government for its spread. What we can blame them for is not immediate closing the border with China and Europe when we realised how quickly it was spreading and letting the NHS send Covid riddled patients back to nursing homes to kill thousands of elderly dimentia patients. I agree with you Boris has been hopeless but I knew he would be, I'm just hoping he can hold on long enough to get brexit over the line and once as vaccine is in production he will immediately be replaced by someone more capable. Although they will need a miracle to win the next election as people have long memories. Still even Stammer or whatever he is called will know better than try to rejoin the European super state.

Thatcher wasn't even a conservative - an indifferent economic liberal who didn't even believe in the existence of society.

Got a taste of their own medicine. Usually goes down badly.

The speaker is not performing in his role as it should be.

absoluteacw And you’re more qualified than he to say that?

@@absoluteacw you have no idea what you're talking about. The Speaker made very clear his role and why what Jackson said was parliamentary. Maybe you didn't hear, or didn't listen. I advise you to do both.

Also, the praise for Thatcher may be disrespectful towards the now deceased people who became homeless because of her policies. "Respect the dead" can't be used to silence criticism of politics.

Don’t fuck with her either. Wow. Still can hold her own despite her age.

Specialised in fiction clearly.

Greed is necessary if you don't want to be made irrelevant because of someone else's greed. Britain was becoming irrelevant because profitable industries were dragging the dead wood, instead of burning the dead wood. Making more money is necessary to avoid losing money, Britain was losing money by wasting it on dead industries instead of investing in new industries.

What on earth has that adolescent drivel got to do with what I posted.

@@steveennever9905 if you read your own comment then mine it's blatantly obvious. greed was always acceptable, just brain donors in the labour party and unions thought otherwise, and the 70s proved them wrong, and the 80s even more so. The problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other people's money.

@@theant9821 Once again, another myopic comment. "if you read your own comment then mine it's blatantly obvious." - It only appears that way to you because in your mind culture is quite evidently limited to 'survival of the fittest' & little if anything else.

Steve777 Only when it gets totally out of hand.
