      I endorse your sentiments and I agree with you, but I just wanted to correct a common mistake. People from outside the UK often refer to the UK as 'England'. England is one of four nations that make up the UK - although 5/6 Brits reside there. The UK is not the same as Great Britain either, as Great Britain is an island containing 3/4 of the UK nations - England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland, the smallest of the UK nations by population, is the only part of the UK outside of Great Britain. Having said that, 'British' nationality is given to the people of Northern Ireland. But because of the Belfast Agreement (also known as the Good Friday Agreement), people born in Northern Ireland can choose to have British nationality, Irish nationality or both. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland. The other nation on the island of Ireland is the Republic of Ireland, a sovereign nation. I'm sure you know most of this, but I'm just putting it out there... :-)

      @Ben Fizz There are no ends of conflicting claims across the world, some have more merit than others but the generally accepted way of resolving such disagreements is to ask the inhabitants to choose their own future and in the case of Northern Ireland this is already established. Ireland seeks to 'reunite' with Northern Ireland but an unwilling pairing is not a unification.

    Like her or not, she was a visionary of the first order, she foresaw where the European community was heading at the time and she vigorously opposed it; we were lucky to her then, and would be so much better if she or someone like her in charge when we have been taken for fools by the present bunch of clowns we have in charge at present!

    Thatcher was nothing but a force of devastation, and she destroyed British industry and laid waste to communities that have never recovered; she sold the country's fortunes to a deregulated financial sector and encouraged a speculative culture with disastrous consequences. She pursued policies that caused great suffering to millions of ordinary working class men and women in her country. She deserves little respect, if any at all.

    • @izdatsumcp
      @izdatsumcp 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Nationalisation destroys British industry, both by making the industries that have been taken over inefficient and by sucking money out of the productive economy. And deregulating the financial sector didn't have ill effects, despite what people like to believe.

    • @growinsane9123
      @growinsane9123 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It clearly causes you a great deal of internal combustion that you came here with your 'acid' dipped keyboard to find yet another video that venerates her and that she in fact not only gets enormous respect from those who lived in her time, but that she finds new support from those who have only previously heard dipshit opinion.
      As she would say, it says far more about you than it does her.

      Do you comment on every Thatcher documentary/interview with your ridiculous thoughts? Were you actually in the UK before she took over? Or were you hoping that the whole country would remain poor and run down under the useless Labour administrations?
