Just...wow.....I am not a Tory voter...but...Margaret Thatcher.....thats a leader & an individual that respects democracy. Never repeated. Never forgotten. Incredible.
They don't make politicians like this anymore she's so tough .
Many better more intelligent stronger and humane than she was. It was all a con, an act down to her accent
@@bereal6590 Absolutely not, if there was one thing MT wasn't, it was an actress. She was brilliant.
@@jackr1779 horrible woman
Love her or hate her, no1 has come close to having as much control in this country since her time. A strong man/woman is needed very much now
Blimey.that's how bleeding bad things' are....I live in an old mining community in Yorkshire. Here locals muttering same thing. Never did any one i know any good.; but you knew where you stood & U.k were respected. Luck of the Irish that woman....😆
An upper class toff out of touch with the Irish and British working class communities
Oh yeah.they wouldn't have the bastard back. But at least she was a clear cut enemy. You knew where you stood, i think they are saying. This shower of working people 'friendly' rubbish should reap what they sow in terms of the hardship & misery they cause.

@@jackietreehorn5561would prefer somewhere more appropriate, but point taken.
A modern day politician would almost certainly have started blubbing for extra effect.
Tough enussss?! Hell yes..
big snot nose bubbles, sobbing and shaking, uncontrollable gasps
This interview was the original source for the often quoted remark that after the Brighton bomb "this was the day I was meant not to see".
I've never heard this before. What does it mean? It sounds a bit clumsy.
She was a target in Brighton because she introduced British policy of criminalization, depoliticizantion and demoralization.... Only after midnight in 1978 when it was clearly a pow war camp.....a upper class toff that had now clue or care about the political situation in Ireland and was to her detriment
Say what you want about her, but she had some serious balls and was very courteous with her minders and immediate staff.
@2:45: "People in Democracy hate extremism" A message for today.
Please explain the rise of the far right in Europe now and in the 30's
@@appleslover People will turn to extremes if the more moderate parties don't heed their concerns of borders, culture, economics, etc. Democracy is having a clear choice, and if moderate parties are too similar, that is not democracy, and extreme parties do well. They don't want to turn to extreme parties, but might have to for one single issue. The problem is extreme parties are extreme in other areas too. The rise of the far right and left has happened because of a lack of action from moderate parties, which is not democratic. In a true democracy, there would be no need for extreme parties
@Terminator0713 very late reply here, but my oh my how even more true your words ring today. Hope you are well
I can listen to her talk all day! What a great leader!
These days long gone interviewing was still done well today TV and media is rubbish.

THANK YOU ThamesTV!!!
The interviewer is beautiful, intelligent and quite a conversationalist.
The interview is so good - so subtle, and she has Margaret's full respect as a speaker. Imprsssed.
Gill Nevill (I confirmed the spelling). I wonder what became of her...
Intelligent, articulate and respectful: and she gets a lot out of old Thatch. I wish we had more of this sort of political interviewing now rather that the constant striving after "Gotcha" moments.
A boom boom let me here you say o oh

what an excellent bit said by her on marxism and christianity
Christianity is hyper individualistic capitalism where homeless people can’t even stay on the streets in fear of private property trespassing 💯

Wow Paul Jones the first singer for Manfred Mann I wondered where he went
Everyone should watch this
Had to watch this again during lockdown her arguments are truly outstanding an incredible political figure who had changed the country for the better...Trade Union reform...home ownership...share ownership...embracing new technologies...controlled migration..those were her achievements.
and she limited the rights of gays! what a woman! do not like lbgt at all!
Mickey Chitty what nonsense
@K90_ 2019 you’re fundamentally disagreeing with conservative beliefs, don’t go with the woke crowd!

@@harleyhartley3168 hypocrite your gay
So much for the 'if there's a problem, first try to solve it yourself' ideology, today it's more like 'if there isn't a problem, create one to whinge about and thereafter, play the perpetual victim.'
😒🤣
We live in danger but there will be No Surrender. One may not agree with her Politics. The Woman had Steel.
Surrender to what. Come down Clare. It's great craic. Ask the Ukrainians, no slagging. I love you more than I love Tipperary people. Peace and love
Like her or not - is there a SINGLE person in government with balls to speak or make decisions from their moral conscience no matter what the consequence rather than the career politicians we have today? I can think of about 3. There are probably a lot more but very few in high places.
Her decisions caused huge unemployment in working class communities in England, a upper class toff out of touch with ordinary hard working people...not to mention the uptuse outlook and blatant ignorance of the political situation in Ireland...a narcissist women that grew up in privilege
I am 48 years old as I write this in the year of 2021.The war in the North East of Ireland was already fully established and being fiercly fought, by "both” sides for several years before the day I was born.It was a long, drawn out and a protracted affair lasting just over 30 years. Every single day of those terrible 30 years, the "spin doctors” relentlessly, morning, noon and night spouted, to the very best of their ability, "this is no war”.” the Irish are just terrorists” All the wile, giving medals of honour to their heroic fallen soldiers for their actions on the battle field. Only when a few "free thinkers” within the British halls of power stood back and paused to think, Ya know, ever since we invaded this country (Ireland) the locals have never stoped fighting us. Maybe, they will never stop fighting us? We have been shooting them dead for more than 30 years now and yet they still find the urge to shoot us back? Maybe, just maybe, we should take another look at our foreign policy when it comes to Ireland? And as history was written, the peace process began. The British War and Death Machine was not beaten on the battlefield, but they did lay down their arms and returned to their native land, where they and ALL standing armies truly belong, only in their native land and let the natives of other lands live in peace. (google or TH-cam "Bobby Sands, The Rhythm of Time for an eye opening insight into the mind of a young "free thinking" Irish man) Our revenge, will be the laughter of our children.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ALWAYS, and I mean always, be aware of the propaganda, truth fcuking machine that is lurking behind every media report, no matter the topic, it is surely there. And remember, One Mans Terrorist Is Another Mans Freedom Fighter.
Well said
Another very interesting doco is " Beyond Violence and Hate - Patrick Magee and Jo Berry".
The difference was too the Irish never got paid for putting their lives on the line...the only thing they could hope for was lengthy time in jail or certain death...that takes balls u have to admit
I am sure with your limited geographical knowledge from the abuse you suffered from Father O bum hole has distorted your knowledge, ah well, I wish you and your sister the best in a happy wedding.
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Every time this woman decided that they are terrorists, whether it be Nelson Mandela an the ANC in South Africa or democratically elected socialist governments over thrown by military junta's in South America or even democratically elected union leaders in her own country.
Wow this was a awesome interview. What a woman she more Balls and Backbone than many current politicians and world Leaders!
"Women With More Balls?" Do You Know Something We Don't? 🇨🇮🧡🤍💚😂
Tiocfaidh ár lá 🇮🇪💯
At the time she can be seen to dealing with the IRA but there was a necessary back channel that helped create a foundation for peace and stability, interesting points she made about Christianity.
What a pity it wasn't 100% successful, an enemy of the working class the Tories never change!
This despicable garbage banned free school milk for children mean! She was called Thatcher the milk snatcher!
Her adviser was Jewish Sir Geoffrey Howe.
What a great woman. Truly great. Intelligent, strong, inspired, a true leader.
Bootlicker
I've always admired Margaret Thatcher as speaker, common sense, as a listener. An admirable lady and a very intersting and nice interview.
Pity they didn't get her
"Get rid of the Impression Strike happy Nation" 100% Correct.
Margaret Thatcher appears to be a down to Earth person that was very knowledgeable on a Humble level, and represented the true values of her Country's people. So down to Earth and relate-able. A leader that can relate and connect to a majority of her People. What an American Dream.
"represented the true values of her Country's people" AHAHAHAHH the entire working class despised her, she was a fucking witch and a blight on our country.
@@kadnazthat’s what I’m saying. how are these comments even real
1:41 what goes around comes around I guess
A Giant Of British Politics During The 20th Century @Margaret( Iron_Lady) Hilda Thatcher.
You do realise the most prominent people in history who were bastards to human kind didn't actually fight for their own? Hitler, Napoleon etc..
Only God can forgive. On the question of a reintroduction of a death penalty, this question wouldn't happen in Saudi Arabia. I'm just saying. Murderers get out of jail and given more chances of life. Their victims don't get any chance. This is a moral issue many cannot meet.
Leader of the government not the people. Appointed by the queen.
Hard as nails, elegant as a rose
If you were in any fight you would want to have Thatcher in your corner. She was a formidable politican, and along with Reagan and Pope Wojtyla she saved The West.
Just inspiring.
What a thing it must have been to know you had that level of competence in your leader.
People who hate thatcher hate Britain.
The working class hate thatcher because of her doings ,, “Britain” should be in massive debt to the colony’s they conquered, especially Ireland where the soldiers raped and murdered there way through the island you clown
She looks like Jacob rothschild, similar facial expressions.
The irony of everything she says is breathtaking

Grandmother of the nation can only apply to one grand old lady who died 22 years ago now and that of course was Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and i think at the time of this interview the mother of nation would of gone to Her Majesty The Queen ( Elizabeth the second). Perhaps Thatcher title would of been better as second or even step mother of the nation as a prime minister will always leave office at some point, where as the monanch never leaves office until death (in this country). I was born in August 1990 so only 3 months of my life she was prime minister, on the whole from my studies and books and what i read and course the Falklands War, MT - Margaret Thatcher was one of the greatest Prime Ministers we have had in this country up there with Churchill, Gladstone, duke of wellington etc etc, also I am tory who vote for tory so im bound so say that, however i wasn't really around in thatchers time others may well totally disagree with me who were.
A lot of her most eloquent opponents are not featured here, because she killed them.
So the sniffer dogs didn't smell the IRA bomb because it was 'wrapped in cling film' hmm. She had enemies in very high places because she did not toe the line on Europe that she was eventually stabbed in the back by her own party installing traitor Major. The goal of The Establishment was Tony Blair, which they succeeded after John Smith was 'taken out' (Paddy Ashdown quote) and did his dirty work for which we are now reaping the rewards. Who did she have taken out?
What?
I reckon Argentina is closer to the Falklands than Britain is..Just saying
"we only have to be lucky once you have to be lucky all the time"
And they were not lucky once. She died of old age.
God I love this woman, what an inspirational leader. The real breaker of glass ceilings.
Yep, broke the glass ceiling, pulled the ladder up behind her and sealed the opening with bricks and mortar.
_”Today we were unlucky, but remember - we only have to be lucky once.”_
This is a line of absolute poetry: jovial, clever and threatening.
It was some kick in the bollox for the British government and very embarrassing world wide but then again the world knows there up against the in the game IRA don't forget she was to blame for the hardship ove innocent catholics in northern Ireland
Practical Skeptic if you think you are the correct side you need shock therapy
( We will respond at time and place of are choosing ) P O'NEIL. 1969 TO 1998 .
we need people who will govern on these principles not people who come in and do it their own way and it just happens to be the liberal billionaire donors way. its bs. we need to go back to those fundamental principles and morals.
She introduced that principle fgs, do learn some history
Why didn't you ask her about the Ulster plantation and the famine??
What was that to do with her?
@@kevinlongman007 Imean, if she knew her History of Ireland? Doubt she ever did. Horrible person. Even her own in the North of England detested her. That tells you all you need to know about her. I could go on further but maybe you know enough. They only thought you in your schools about the glorious days of rule.
@@Dub_Northside apart from the slave trade they taught us nothing about the British Empire in school actually!! The fact is Ulster voted to remain a part of the UK in 1916 and if the IRA thought that bombing innocent civilians was going to change things then they were sadly mistaken.
Why do you do that? Let's be honest here about history. If the yanks and Russians stayed away you would be talking German..

Your Queen respected orher countries. If we done you in 84 Eire 32
We could do with Mrs T now.....hard as nails and full of British Backbone....
Mrs Thatcher got all she deserved,, when Mrs Thatcher became prime minister she should have negotiated A free and independent ireland because she speaks I lot about democracy and being a methodist she should know better any difficulties that ireland has is Ireland's problem and not England problem
Secret papers (now in the public domain) show that Thatcher was considering passing three further counties to Eire - However advisers warned against it as there would be a blood bath.
Free Ireland.
Tiocfaidh ár lá Mrs Thatcher
If there is ever a united Ireland, it will mean every single citizen in the Republic paying an extra 10% tax for the upkeep of Northern Ireland - look up what it costs the UK Exchequer to upkeep Northern Ireland. Do you really think that citizens in Northern Ireland who have access to universal free healthcare on NHS are going to blithely give it up for a united Ireland?
You can be guaranteed that no Sinn Fein TD will ever tell you how much a united Ireland will cost. Of course if you are on welfare it's a non issue because it won't affect you and it's someone else's problem.
And you can't bomb, murder, intimidate and force your way to a united Ireland.
Pablo Frank exactly, and what about the huge EU financial aid package that is aimed for Ireland? What about the bilateral loan England gave them? What about all of their IRA terrorists who the shameful traitor Blair pardoned while putting his own army in jail? Northern Ireland is one the whole loyal to England, it’s the Republic that is the problem.
@@AnimatedBlast let me get something straight... You think the NORTH is loyal? Alot of the north wants to Unite with the Republic? Where is the logic in INVADING another country forcefully imposing laws on our people meaning we could not SPEAK our native language, OWN the land which BELONGS TO US, Last I checked to inspire loyalty you dont try take away the IDENTITY of an entire culture. Funny how the mighty United kingdom couldn't enforce loyalty in a country which ye have NO claim to at all. Maybe look at the votes of the north who would like to see a united Ireland... Might surprise you that it is closer then you think
@@AnimatedBlast Please face facts Britain,but especially the Tory party do not give a Damn about" NI"they will use the Idiotic tunnel vision DUP whenever it suits the Tory party .How many times has Johnson and co stabbed them in the back.By the way that loan has been long ago repaid.
@@AnimatedBlast "What about all of their IRA terrorists who the shameful traitor Blair pardoned while putting his own army in jail?"
The IRA have collectively served hundreds of years in the Maze prison. You can't even count on your hand how many years BRITISH WAR CRIMINALS have served. Of course you'd whitewash what they were as just the "army" though.

Incredible woman and political arguments highlighting how technology can change society she was right look at the influence of the internet on our society it has made life so much easier.
"The only sorrow of the Brighton bombing is that Thatcher escaped unscathed."
I know 🥲
But she did and the peado provos were well beaten, glorious days, SAS
Said no one
Absolutely
Had her government done the proper thing for Ireland, this wouldn’t have happened.
Well the Irish government could be asked the same question. What has it done for its people? only sell them out to the EU. Irish are sneaks and are doubled standard. They would eat their own to save their necks. Britain did a lot of good for Ireland.The Irish eat bread that is soon forgotten. The Irish treated mother and babies scandalously and continue to cover up their own atrocity of religious, state and family sexual abuse. They dont self congratulate on those issues as much as they do with their superficial achievements in sport and entertainment. It quite sickening to see and experience how they applaud themselves whilst treating vulnerable people with comtempt.
The IRA bombed the UK because they knew they could not win power democratically.
Coor man! She wud have ben a gud money why wosnt I in wit it mon! ☻
when we actually had a leader with courage of conviction, and balls.
Absolutely, whether you loved or hated her is irrelevant. She was strong, had complete conviction and was relentless in her persuit of what she believed.
Taxpayers but the leaders in office and only taxpayers can take them oud of office
Just remember the leaders work for taxpayers not taxpayers work for leaders
Awesome. Never follow it he closer to 1974. Better off with Martin sellner Austrian Thomas. He actually gay homosexual yes he hot Thomas.

Ben Dover a goddess in other senses.
As a Brit this wells me up
Even your Queen thought you were a ghoul
She was. Churchill and Atlee sought to protect and to rebuild. Thatcher sought to sell everything off. People are so thick! She was a right b*tch
I would greatly disagree with you. I'm sure she disagreed with things at times, but the proof of her hating Mrs. Thatcher just isn't there. If she despised her, she wouldn't have:
1. Given her the Order of Merit
2. Made her the first non-royal Lady Companion of the Garter.
3. Attend both her 70th & 80th birthday parties.
4. Attended her funeral, only the 2nd prime minister's she attended after Churchill. There are reports that the Queen offered her a full state funeral with lying in state like Churchill, but Mrs. Thatcher declined because she didn't think she should be placed on the same level as Churchill.

@@davidlondon2810 she was more hated by the English working class communities than the irish....a vile upper class toff
If the Queen didn't like her she wouldn't have given her the order of merit, made her a Lady of the Garter, made her a baroness, attended her 70th & 80th birthday parties, or attended her ceremonial funeral (the only other PM's funeral she went to was Churchill's). I'm sure they had disagreements, but they certainly respected each other.
