he was already a millionaire by the time Maggie became PM, i think jealousy was pretty low down on the list anyway haha

He didn’t need to - he was successful in his own right. To put it a different way, a model political spouse.

Gavin James When I become a millionaire, I’ll let you know if that works!

Marilyn Ikr? If that TV series “The Crown” is anything to go by, Prince Philip was a right old PITA about his having to take “2nd place” to Elizabeth. Made her job harder than it already was. Hopefully it’s just a lot of exaggeration for the sake of drama.

Real men are not afraid of powerful women

Guess he had underlying mental troubles.....

😂😂😂

Utter bs.

@@lloydwalden4053 Sorry what ? Have you run out of manners , vowels or typing keys ?

Like his wife!

I heard he was a gloomy alcoholic.

***** Sums up the snide, supercilious attitude communists have for normal folk - that is why your ideology is dead and buried.

MARGRET Thatcher Ex pm of U.K was realy iron lady of England

Me too! Maggie is an inspiration for me. I was born in a small provincial city of China, somewhat like Maggie in grantham’s grocery shop……

@@Ling-us9tdGod Bless you

I know what a phrase, I like it too a very wise saying 👍

Falklands most would have thought they were somewhere off Scotland before 1982 i think in all honesty. Island's off the south american continent the UK had no sane claim to .

@@paulthesquid3595 have more of a claim to the islands than Argentina has

At some point after the Falklands War he visited, and apparently described it to a friend as "mile after mile of bugger-all." lol

@@squirehaggard4749 He could be humorous without even trying.

Like ask people today were Diego Garcia Island is!

I did not like Thatcher but she would not have held a referendum resulting in Brexit.

@@kevinmurphy2562 she didn’t like the union so I think she would of if she could have

@robertday8619. I loved Margaret Thatcher she was a brilliant prime minister. And Dennis Thatcher was bloody brilliant. They had a deep love and respect for each other.

Well'l at 66 years of age myself and MILLIONS of others in this country do not miss her and her un-sound policies at all i think in all honesty there. god notice the small g don't bless me i am an athiest, arn't delusions wonderfull if you belive in them the POLL TAX the last nail in her box was it not.

@@paulthesquid3595 She left the country in a much much better state than what she found it in after 3 years of terrible Labour mismanagement.

@@paulthesquid3595 Could you try that again in English please?

She’d been in too long.. just like when Blair had been in too long, she certainly had started to believe her own hype. There’s a sort of mental health problem that develops..it’s not exactly that power corrupts, but it warps leaders ability to see themselves realistically. She’d begun to see herself as a sort of monarch. It really was time she retired. She wasn’t listening to those around her. They reluctantly felt they had to force her out .. she’d never have gone otherwise

Cannot agree more! What a stupid statement from the actor. There was no love between them? Are you kidding me

What don't you agree about his politics? His "politics" was about staying in the background while supporting her. So what is it that you don't agree with?

@@jackpotbox Politics can mean many things, but in this instance, I was talking about being Conservative. Have a nice evening.

We owe a lot to her? What would that be?

Shame about Clause28 though.

As a proud liberal party supporter, I have now found a new respect for Mr Thatcher after watching this documentary. I am proud to be a liberal as he was proud to be a conservative, I am glad I am not far left in my politics.

Yeah. Laughing at the poor and the foreigners.

He asked the Duke for advice on being the consort of a high profile woman

@@Irishgui83 They both were proper blokes who had the balls to say what they think without resorting to a pseudonym .... you can’t say the same SkyBlack. Easy to slag two people off hiding from behind a computer

yes, this is it right here

What a geat comment! : )) Loved it!

Indeed. You are so right.

Thank you! I was trying to place the voice and could only come up with Jacob Rees-Mogg, so am rather relieved that someone had the right answer!

@@danwilson2092 My pleasure. I'd know Bill Nighy's voice in my own bathroom at 4 am! 🙆😘

She was something very rare. An honest politician who believed in her policies. She didn't say different things to different people to court popularity. Not many politicians are like that now.

@@mscott3918 She did stand by her beliefs in an honest way, I'll give her that

I am same here.

I have yet to see these. Lucky me.

Mo Ramzi R.I.L...? I know it's not "P" as in "Peace" but I'm only 10% sure of what the "L" stands for (and it isn't "Lovely." ;-) )

+lfc lee If one looks at only the short term of economic policy, it may seem as though Margaret Thatcher (or Ronald Reagan in the United States) were "wrecking" the lives of the average person. But after years, decades really, of Labor (and Democrat Party in the U.S.) fiscal policies, immediate positive change will not ever be apparent. It took a few years for the benefits of Thatcher's and Reagan's pro-free enterprise policies to become apparent. But eventually the economies improved, employment was increased greatly, and people could not only afford but splurged on consumer goods and home-buying beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s and into the early 21st Century. Even if one could not afford a single home, when wealthier people do well that flows down to less wealthy persons. No poor man ever got a job from another poor man, and certainly not from a government. The fact Great Britain and the U.S. still have any free market jobs and profit-making products at all speaks well to Tory and Republican policies, certainly not to the bleak, negative, and victim-dependent ideology of socialists, who must always have government-dependent constituents to survive (the same relationship as a drug dealer to a junkie) and must also always create bogeymen or scapegoats (usually those who own property) to create envy among those who do not own property. Left unchecked, the U.K. and the U.S. would've likely gone completely communist, but for Thatcher and Reagan. Also, please don't forget who controls the media and entertainment systems--the political left. And them that controls the media often controls the message. The political left also greatly outnumber moderates and conservatives in education. Thus we are all susceptible to leftist brainwashing (school children and college students to several hours a day of Marxist diatribe, especially in universities where all those old Bolsheviks are kept for life tenures until they rot away) from practically the time we learn to read and write until we go to the grave. It takes more work to become truly independent thinkers, not as influenced by group mindset (where people are indoctrinated to think in terms of groups and "we," being "good team players," where no single winners are possible, etc.), instead of being leaders, and thinking in terms of "I" and of independent motivation and self-setting goals.

glad she is gone, a scumbag

You weren’t there, were you?

Well, not just Conservatives, but politicians are cowardly in looking only as far as the next election rather than the long term future of the country
