On 4 October 1976, Conservative leader Margaret Thatcher MP sat down for a lengthy interview with ITN's Julian Haviland to discuss The Right Approach, the Conservative Party policy statement published that day. It aimed to restore "hope and confidence to a disillusioned British people" by offering "a return to common sense". As can be seen in this interview, many of its core principles and proposed policies are the same that would be implemented following Thatcher's election victory in 1979 and which are now commonly referred to under the umbrella of "Thatcherism".

In her earliest political days, she had to fight endlessly to be accorded even minimal respect as a female trying to establish a foothold in the male dominated political system. She achieved that. It wasn't given to her. Additionally, she made sure she got a great education. Her father was 'just' a butcher. Her academic success wasn't given to her. And when she was a token female member of Ted Heath's Conservative government, she had to fight for recognition. It wasn't something just given to her. Finally, when she became PM in '79, Britain was an absolute shambles in just about every way imaginable. Ironically, the labour unions fought their Labour government at every turn because they actually wanted freedom to bargain and not be restrained in what they could earn. She earned her position as Conservative Party leader, and deserved to become PM.

@makhnothecossack4948 5 месяцев назад

"Her father was a butcher?" No he wasn't, he was a grocer and a politician, he wasn't some everyman. The only reason Thatcher has "such a rough childhood" was because her father was a Methodist.

@JupiterThunder 3 месяца назад

The Tory party only let her become Tory leader because they thought it was a poisoned chalice. They knew someone had to do some difficult things, that it would make them very unpopular and they thought whoever led them in government would last only one term. That backfired and she won again in 83 and again in 87. Then the public schoolboys decided they wanted their party back from what they regarded as a middle class oik, so they fabricated a dispute over Europe and stabbed her in the back to get rid of her.

The reason prices are so high now are all about supply and demand. In the 80’s and 90’s there were massive house building programs. Since 2005 hardly any new houses and yet since 2010 net 7 million people have settled in the UK. It’s not the migrants fault, if legally an opportunity arises to live better we would all take it. The issue is successive governments have under supported infrastructure, not controlled migration leading to massive demand and poor supply. How do you fix it, for a period you have to increase one and lower the other.

@jimdavis8391 9 месяцев назад

@Guardian__Angel Sorry I disagree with you regarding her economic abilities. In the short term she was effective at curbing the power of the unions and balancing the books. Longer term her naivety regarding human behaviour caused untold damage to the social fabric and cohesion of Britain. Up until c1985 pretty good afterwards, patchy. The obsessive privatisation has been clearly shown to be foolhardy at best. I think my judgement of her is a balanced one. In some ways Blair's first administration mirrors that of Thatcher, after 2001 he became increasingly dogmatic and detached from reality. Those who are truly great are able to accept flux and react fluidly and Thatcher was by the mid 80s overly doctrinaire and her lack of 'human resources' became painfully obvious.

Mrs Thatcher was the best Prime Minister that the U.K. ever had, besides Winston Churchill - and she showed up Labour for their hypocrisy, proving that she was far more socialist than they ever pretended to be, which is why she was hated long after her passing, right up to the present day, where many of her common sense based reforms and policies were reversed after her passing - it’s such a pity that members of her own party eventually stabbed her in the back - we will never have a leader like her ever again - and frankly, she would have handled the credit crunch, 9/11, Brexit and Covid far better than the incompetent fools currently in power

Unemployment began falling by 1987. Inflation decreased rapidly within the first four years. The economy was booming for the first time since WW2 by the early nineties. People kept far more in their earnings and no longer taxed heavily away by Labour. Argentina invaded the Falklands which the Falklands were and still is a British Territory. You really are a deluded troll.

I lived in the Republic of Ireland as a Catholic and as a teenager during the 1980’s when Mrs Thatcher was in power and I admired and respected her stance on Northern Ireland, the IRA and on the Falklands - I knew that she and our Taoiseach Charles J Haughey of the Fianna Fáil party in Dáil Éireann were great friends - I also knew that the IRA and Sinn Fein had betrayed the Irish people even back then, even though most of the coverage of events in the U.K. was via our national broadcaster RTÉ at the time and the U.K. newspapers - I only moved to Manchester U.K. in 2002 and I was horrified by what I’d seen and the fallout of the IRA bombings in Manchester, but despite my embarrassment, I did initially point out to my English friends that the IRA had also bombed targets in Dublin and elsewhere in the Republic, such as with Lord Mountbatten in Co. Sligo

@shelleyphilcox4743 7 месяцев назад

@prd1073 Fact: 1968 Edward Short, the Labour Secretary of State for Education and Science, withdrew free milk from secondary schools for children over eleven. His successor, Conservative Margaret Thatcher withdrew free school milk from children over seven in 1971, earning her the nickname "Thatcher, the Milk Snatcher". It was LABOUR that withdrew milk for children over the age of 11. Thatcher expanded it to children above 8. Shirley William's, as a Labour politician, cut it altogether for children between 5 and 7 in 1976. The milk was not refrigerated, often disgusting having turned or curdled and there were multiple incidents of food poisoning from spoiled and contaminated milk. Fewer children needed milk at school due to the general rise in living conditions and overall better nutrition. Free milk in school was introduced during WWII when there was rationing. So, the Thatcher, milk snatcher' label is pretty unjustified, when the accusation primarily should be levelled at 2 LABOUR politicians, Edward Short and Shirley Williams (later a founder of the SDP and then became a Liberal Democrat).
