Thanks for reuploading this video! Apparently someone deleted it - at least so I thought- since it wasn't convenient to them and it exposed them! PLEASE make sure you don't lose the original copy in case they take it down again so you can reupload it!
Must watch. Amazing doco brilliantly presents left and right identities delivering the answer to why the working class has moved on mass and continues to move to the British Conservative party and in Australia, the Liberal Party. Also, answers the converse question, why the old "ruling class" and socialist "elites" have taken up what are essentially either comfortably off public servant, fascist or national-socialist ideologies.
She runs rings over the modern Tory government. All they are Concerned about is virtual signalling. Just picking ministers Because of colour or half wit Women like May. I supported May at first hoping she would be Another Maggie. But she had no Backbone or policy substance.
Oh God, Kinnock just flails around now as he did at opposite Thatcher in the Commons. Her policy of home ownership forced him to change Labour's approach to it, ie adopt it. And he said he did it for his parents...NO, you did it because it was a good policy of Thatcher's and you don't have the grace to say so. He HATES her.
What I find very frightning is the fact that he aspired to be PM and was apparently prepared to built his policies on what that particular policy would have meant to his parents. What very valid arguments to implement a policy.
Her politics weren't mine, but she was definitely a conviction politician and did what she believed in. That merits respect. Very different to where we are now, though.
I grew up in the 70s. They said that the "UK was the sick Man of Europe" It was worse than that. The Unions nearly destroyed this country. Thatcher was Revolutionary. @55.33 - 56.27 is 100% correct.
A very apt nickname indeed. Why? Because she changed Britain. She declared war on what existed, on that dull, collectivist, economically stale Britain, and won. She revolutionised our country. The sad thing about it is it should have happened at least a decade before. How and why Britain remained for so many years beholden to daft policies such as incomes policies and nationalised industries will for ever be a source of disappointment.
I remember back in the 70's, I was a small boy. This country was on life support. The state and the Unions were two cheeks of the same Arse. Something needed to be done.Thatcher was the cure. I have friends who still believe that Mrs Thatcher was, an establishment figure, That she destroyed this country, the same friends who bought their council houses, had the double glazing windows, sent their kids to University. I tell them "You have Mrs Thatcher to thank for this. :)
Terrific documentary. I LOVE the guy who described Britain in the 1970s as "North Korea without the hope." Imagine all of England, including the government and the royals working by candlelight many nights each week! Imagine the dead unburied. That was the reality of that time! It was not "Candy-box Britain" as the tourist brochures describe.
Superb documentary, my god this makes so much sense …best prime minister we ever had and I hated her at the time I was a brain washed young union member in the car industry…..
Well said, that's a gracious thing to say. Conversely I was lower middle class and detested unions but I do still think they have a place today. In West Germany, they had no unions but a more naturally subservient population.
Margaret Thatcher as a result of her industrial policies was very good for Australia and Canada - thousands of talented Engineers and Tradesmen emigrated and bought their skills, wisdom and knowledge to our countries.

Amazing
I feel ashamed, to be honest, for the things I said about her in the past.
Me too. I was then a Labour member and stupidly parroting all the Beeb nonsense against her. Ashamed of it now.
U all believed the spin against her.
We were all youngsters then 😢😅
Thank you so much for uploading this. Been looking for this for some time
I have lost count how many times I have watched this.

Best PM in my lifetime. She did so much for Britain and the working class. No one since has come anywhere close. RIP Margaret Thatcher.

She destroyed entire communities with her policies
@@briandelaney97103 election wins all majority 2 landslide…can’t have been that bad.
She was responsible for the financial crisis of 2008

Not happy with the fact Kelvin MacKenzie is on this, but it's watchable despite him

Love how Neil Kinnock comes across like a complete fool (which he most definitely is) during his interviews.
"Lord Kinnock a "real" socialist :)
Wow, what a powerful documentary. She was a tremendous woman and the world owes a lot to her.
Brilliant documentary
"Freedom is the answer, not conservativism"
For all the people that hate thatcher, take a minute to think what life would have been like under Kinnock as prime minister.
When people are free to chose, they choose freedom.
I got this quote tattooed on my forearm.
Since you have been gone I can see the world bit by bit in Underground. I cry a thousand tears.
51.00 Why is it of such importance what her taste was like? Clearly a lack of valid arguments.

It wasn't a Utopia, but compared to today, it looked like one.
Immediate subscription to Marc……where are you?

Little bit before my time but my god what a woman MT was! Britain could certainly do with her now
Reminiscent of Trump. Loathed by the left and loathed by the establishment right, but loved by many of the working class, blue collar “deplorables.”
She wouldve been out of government at the end of her 1st term if it wasnt dor the Falklands war
F MAGIC
Biggest load of bull shit ever
