I truly admire her. You will not find again someone who is so knowledgeable, someone who have all the facts and details at her fingertips, has analysed the problem before coming to a conclusion and then sticking to it, someone who is so honest and never shies away from facing the public and opponents, someone who answers every question completely straight without any hot air or evasion, someone so intelligent and eloquent. She was unique in all of that.

As a young Brit who always wondered why people either despise her with every fibre of their being or love her dearly, reading about her recently was an interesting experience. This video's timing is brilliant. Cheers! 👍🏾

Among the 55 Prime Ministers of Britain up to that time, Margaret Thatcher was the only one known to have held a pure STEM degree. She obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Somerville College, Oxford.

There is no such thing as public money, there is only taxpayers' money

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.” ― Margaret Thatcher

I was a young newly-wed in South Wales during Maggie's Britain. She is not remembered fondly here. She destroyed entire communities, not just by closing the mines and steelworks which left thousands out of work, followed by the inevitable loss of local businesses which closed when the region's economy imploded. The problem was that she never replaced those industries with anything else. The mine owners were compensated but the miners had the rug pulled out from under them. More than 40 years on, the Valleys are still lagging behind the rest of Britain. Oh, and selling off council houses was a great idea for a lot of people. But that social housing stock has never been anything like adequately replaced, despite a growing population and homelessness problem. Both the result of Tory get rich quick thinking, no thought for the future. She had some ideas which were popular at the time, but failed to think them through to their consequences. And she inspired a brand of selfishness, a philosophy of greed and consumerism, which still blights the country today, evident in the behaviour of the current Right Honourable Usual Suspects.

Im getting history hit tv for my school classroom as currently history in my class is week. Yes I am a 14 year old kid but it is only £6 a month so I can get it easily

People's main argument for hating her is "because everyone hates her."

'The more the state does for you, the more it takes from you'. Mrs. T

I woke Maggie up frequently in response to phone calls from Regan or Gorbachev as I worked as her intelligence clerk, she knew what she thought and did nothing to be popular just what she believed was needed. How politics works behind closed doors is not what fictions suggest. It always amused me how she smelt of boiled eggs which she consumed with a passion.

Oh, the 80's were so awesome; great memories.

We adore you prime minister may you rest with the best above 🙏🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

i am from korea i studied in uk in 90s the uni of newcaste upontyne dept politics my professor then is now foerign minister of korea thanking your efforts dear things changed alot

Where there is discord, may we bring harmony; Where there is error, may we bring truth; Where there is doubt, may we bring faith; And where there is despair, may we bring hope

good on you Dan thanks Bill

Thank you for an unbiased analysis of Thatcher, coming from someone who knew nothing about her, apart from my mother calling her the "milk snatcher" lady.

Great video, a video on Clement Attlee would be very intriguing as well. He is considered by many historians as one of England’s greatest Prime Ministers. He truly transformed England.

5:08, notice the media tried to define her as a victim and how she refused to be defined as a victim but as a leader. A good lesson for future female leaders right there.

Thatcher : You turn if you want to Truss : When should I turn

That's real women power!!!

She was a great leader, none today have the backbone she had and look how disastrous every Eu country is

She is adored in Russia almost like Queen just only for visiting and because a woman 👩 but everyone dislike blame Gorbachev for Soviet collapse, completely opposite on West, the paradox.

If you don’t ruffle feathers your not leading. Wish we could have her back!

She's amazing. I'm from the USA and I wish we had a leader like her.

The lady’s not returning....

"The problem with socialism is that one will eventually run out of other people's money." - Lady Margaret Thatcher

We need a new free market low taxes leader!

Love her or hate her, we wouldn’t have the migrant problem we have today with her in charge!!

April 8th is the anniversary of the greatest moment in human history.

I may not know all their is to know about PM Thatcher. But dam if I don't miss her. Yes I know I'm here in the US. Doesn't matter I miss her. She is one leader, agree or not, who led. I for one adored her honesty and bluntness. Still Adore and miss her.

I wonder if the Iron Lady ever tangled with the man of steel (the Japanese emperor).

Dan Snow is one bloody gorgeous man.

Our greatest leader

Hopefully we are coming to the end of this era. What an absolute mess the last 40 odd years has turned out.

A trail blazer

May God bless her in Heaven

True she was an iron

She wouldn't be scared of Putin.

Just in time for Halloween

Does anyone know who the narrator is?

On the subject of Margret Thatcher's England, refer to Bob Dylan's "I in't gonna work on Maggies farm no more" .... (jus sayin')

They Changed her bloody voice! They're trying to make her sound like Meryl Streep's take on Maggs.

God sake Dan get those books alphabetical order 🤭

- 11.02.1975 onward: Thatcher leads the Party - 04.05.1979 first day as Prime Minister - 258 Britis casualties during The Falklands War against Argentina - Thatcher introduces the first National Curriculum in the early 1990's 28.11.1990 Thatcher resigns She spoke about 'intelligent self-interest' 🤔 as being the path to financial prosperity 🤔

In the USA We loved her, President Regan and her laid down the law in the 1980's

You may love or loathe her ,she made her country great again and respected either in Europe or in the world.She was prophetic about the greedy hand of European central bank. She was right ahout refusing the single currency and brought England into modernity As she had a degree in scienze she would have handled the pandemic in the right way immediately.great leader,she had more balls than so.many politicians and was kicked off by her own party,members

U hv to convert this in every language in the world.

Honk if Thatcher's deid

Thatcher was a high handed, mean-spirited, and belligerent individual who peddled an demented political and economical ideology of cutting taxes for the rich, cutting government assistance for the poor, and cutting regulations for the banks and corporate businesses, in the misguided and obsessed belief that it would lead to economic growth. Instead, it has caused high public debt, extreme poverty, and wage inequality, which the UK is still struggling with today.

We need her back!

Pity old Mags Hilda Roberts was certifiably and irrefutably insane. 😢

Dan snow I wish you'd give that presentation a rest..

No surprise at all that our greatest president and the greatest English person of all time got along so famously! The United Kingdom has had three women prime ministers and two minority prime ministers, all Conservatives!

She should have never got into office

Love her or hate her, I realise now she protected Britain, and put Britain first, unlike the so called leaders we have in Britain today.

Narration was disappointingly inhuman. The odd reversion to older video footage at 38:00 was troubling. The bottom fell out at this point and the documentary collapsed downward in an express spiral, even flashing bizarre cartoon drawings.

Regardless of her short comings we should respect her as a leader and human, a great leader and and a British icon, rip she was a legend

....oh the days, when politicians still had functioning minds. (Thatcher) ".....helping people, on the human side, and also on the financial side, in seeing that the scheme is sound..."

I wonder what she would say if she saw the UK in its current state of decline with racist leaders in so many cities and even parts of the UK like until recently Scotland.

Haha, so her policy was to make poor and middle class pay more taxes and the richest very little to none. How typical...

A great leader

What her politics caused was Britain’s transformation from the poorhouse of Europe into one of the wealthiest countries in Europe. Before she came Britain was practically ungovernable in the suffocating grip of unions and subsidising dying industries. I don’t agree with everything she did but without her the UK would still be a near failed state with its citizens easily recognisable by their horrible teeth as it was back then.

Great stuff cut cut cut and sell sell sell, and here we are are now can’t build a plane can’t build a nuclear power station can’t build a 5G network easy jet is really our national carrier and as for the Falkland war we got lucky or Vulcan bombers and air craft carriers were scheduled to be scrapped but there you go.

Dithering dull truss with the vocabulary of 11th grade school child, takes 5 minutes to get one sentence out. How the mighty Thatcher love or loath her was heads and shoulders above them all!

Didn't she say her most outstanding achievement was the creation of Blair's New Labour?

If you hated her that much why did you watch this? She is the "Iron lady" those who came before and after are just jelly babies.

Honey Boo Boo mates with Veruca Salt

You can tell the narrator is Aussie or Kiwi!. Well they know more about breaking the backbones of the people more than any!

2:05 -- "... an incapacity for thinking she might be wrong." He may as well have been talking about Winston Churchill, Mountbatten, Montgomery or ... fill in your choice here: ________________ PS -- The more vids I watch of Thatcher the more I realize that Gillian Anderson's performance in The Crown is OTT rubbish.

My take from this video: to move people, you need carrot and the stick. Socialist would like to give people the carrot, but that would only leave them the stick. On the same note, conservatives give up control over the carrot and let it get too far from people, also leaving them with only stick.

What a great PM she was. On my channel is The 1987 Party Political Broadcast by the Conservative party its brilliant to watch its a rare clip

I don’t know what to think of her. Aspects I like and others I don’t. Seems solipsistic.

The poll tax was a bridge too far and saw her downfall. Got too big for her proverbials and out she went! That's what happens when you're drunk on power...

A thoroughly evil woman.

She was the Iron Lady of the west while Ronald Reagan was the Iron Man of the west. The perfect combination.

Pass

Ma politique est de gouverner les hommes comme le grand nombre veut l'être. C'est la manière de reconnaître la souveraineté du peuple. C'est en me faisant catholique que j'ai gagné la guerre de Vendée, en me faisant musulman que je me suis établi en Égypte, en me faisant ultra-montain que j'ai gagné les esprits en Italie. Si je gouvernais le peuple juif, je rétablirais le temple de Salomon. de Napoleon Bonaparte

profit before people that was Thatchers philosophy.

Britons ? Britons ? They’ve not existed since Anglo-Saxon ascendency. There are no ‘ Britons ‘ today. Broadly speaking, the island consists of those who are English, Welsh, Cornish, or Scottish. ‘ Britons ‘ ? Balderdash.

17% Inflation, Pinochet, drought, unions and solar-flairs with a nice hot Curry.

The world could do with a Margaret Thatcher now.

Just say it raw and real. That Lady was a badass.

The greatest leader the world has ever seen.

I was lucky to grow up under a great prime minister, never to be seen again, look what we have now, embarrassing.

For those who like a bit of dark humour....I'm watching this on 7 April 2021, 12 noon. The number of likes is....666.

she was the best and the worst prime minister this country has ever gotten

oh my gosh you sound so British and so like my tutor

The narration is almost completely robotic and bland. Pity.

The tacky stock music in the background ruined an otherwise good documentary

You might of walked past Miss Thatcher when she was 15, 16 or even 21 years old . Smiled, walked away from the young lady. Though gave her no thought what so ever but she was married to Destiny and to become the Iron Lady of the world. Her appointment was Success and the Price you pay for it. President Reagan telephones to apologise Miss Magaret Thatcher, She replies Age 11 years old . " What does that even mean ? " Lady , The Iron Lady would find out many years later !! A battle wounded soldier lies in bed in Italy falls in love with a nurse, First World War, nobody has ever heard of him, of course, he will become Ernest Hemmingway.

I really miss "the Iron Lady!" From across the pond.

Do you think that Margaret Thatcher had girl power?

We need her now. The Country is on its knees with Liz Truss.

Now there is a strong woman for the woke crowd to love.

allowing tenants to buy was big big mistake.........division of the rich and poor..... I simply can not respect this evil woman

She could have lead any Nation, at any time, in Human History.

Margaret Thatcher may have made a few mistakes. Who wouldn't with all that was going on in the world. But, Margaret Thatcher was a great leader.

was living in a pit village as a kid....she destroyed people from the inner soul...people had to choose to be a scab and work and be beaten if caught or be unemployed with no hope of work.....well done maggie T .....:( .........i saw cats eyes been painted, bus stops ripped up and war basically due to her policy .....What a *UNT

I like swimming but if anyone asks I have to say my favourite stroke was Margaret Thatcher's.

wicked woman shes the one who aided and abbetted Murdoch
