Jon Snow: Interview with Margaret Thatcher in Berlin 

I think you're mixing up reality from fiction. This Jon Snow is an old left-wing presenter from Channel 4 News, although he might know nothing either, come to think of it.

Yes but unlike Iraq there was at least some rationale and some international consensus post-9/11.

@@stevebbuk And that makes it better? Does it?

@@gordanjenson5148 I think so Gordan. It at least gives it some degree of legitimacy.

@@stevebbuk Most of the 9/11 attackers actually were from Saudi Arabia, not Afghanistan. ...

@@skymaster4121 Yes but it was the Taliban in Afghanistan who were harbouring them, not Saudi Arabia.

The UK has since done the opposite as such.

What did you think to Mr Major?

As Ian Hislop said in the USA "Politics is either right-wing or very right-wing", some think socialism is communism at Bernie Sanders has said, USA have the highest poverty levels in the rich world and UK should be following them. . Atlee certainly did far more for the working class of the UK than any other PM then or since. Thatcher went away with Keynesian economics to the free markets and less regulation meaning banks gambled failed and crashed in the 1980's and in 2008! Much of the NHS is privatised from cleaning privatised under Thatcher and NHS CHCP's and Virgin healthcare running NHS services. Yes you can argue many European nations had issues of higher inflation in the 1970's, the post-war boom was over but the remedy for this in Germany for example worked at was not as extreme as Thatcher. How you can defend the massive job loses and huge increases in poverty is beyond me, many of her colleagues including Harold MacMillan's were critical of her lack of economic understanding, the rich got richer the poor got poorer. We were left with little manfacturing and a service economy relying more and more on cheap Chinese goods, and now they've hacked our data. Not to mention deregulation of banking causing the crash or the lack of regulation on water companies dumping sewage all started under Thatcher.

Totally agree

Well I'm pretty sure Hitler wasn't afrais to let the world know his own view. Yeah she was eloquent but that doesn't take away from the fact that she was a horrible lady.

@@tadeasgubala7576 How was she a 'horrible' lady. That's quite a childish view. She was actually a caring woman who had to make extremely difficult choices in a Britain that at the time was ungovernable, old fashioned and virtually bankrupt. You're not going to please everyone and make everyone happy all the time. The people that despised her most where those working in industries that had declined but still wanted taxpayer support. Today we don't even use an ounce of coal to power our national grid. She didn't 'destroy manufacturing' virtually every other western world country including America also suffered manufacturing losses due to the rise of efficient, inexpensive, quality manufacturing in the Far East.

@@nudisco300 I'm pretty sure she is one of the most hated people in the northern UK

@@tadeasgubala7576 Yes she is. It doesn't mean your a bad person if you're hated. They symbolise Thatcher with job losses from the coal mines but they weren't intelligent enough to realise that coal consumption was falling and that the rest of the country shouldn't have to pay to keep them in a job. Don't get me wrong I feel sorry for them it must have been tough out of work, but prior to this it was all strikes this, strikes that and it damaged the industry, They basically killed their own industry much like the car workers by being permanently on strike and not wanting to be part of making their mines profitable and successful.

my guy she banned lgbt education in schools and local authorities (section 28), which was the biggest step backwards for lgbt rights since the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967. she ripped up the post war consensus, people before profit was destroyed with mass privatisation and deregulation. she smashed the trade unions including the miners strike (also google the battle of orgreave). she was a god awful evil woman and a worse prime minister

@@candlecove7590 my man, Britain would be probably one of the poorest countries in Europe right now if not for her

@@candlecove7590 So.. If you could have LGBT schools, would it be wrong to teach the kids that heterosexuality is normal ?

@@deemond5289 both homosexuality and heterosexuality is natural and normal because it is observed in more than one species.

@@deemond5289 also i’m talking abt LGBT education not LGBT schools-

What kind of different were you expecting?

@@osamabinladen824 YOU KNOW NOTHING, OSAMA BIN LADEN

We should preserve this.

@@balder4295 hahahahah

My friend i agree and when I was a young man I opposed her. I was wrong. Thatcher liked Blair were progressive Politicians. In his first month at number 10 he called her out of the wilderness and asked her ADVICE.

The only people that don't like Thatcher are the lazy Northerners who wanted to strike everu 5 minutes instead of getting on and working. The rest of us worked hard in that era and did ok.

Honestly did anyone ever have any respect for may

nudisco300 NASTY comment, you should be ashamed .

Elizabeth F I agree. I’m sorry but the labour government had left Britain in financial trouble. When she got in, she then made everything better down south, but at the cost of the north. We needed help but we never got any. Her actions still are visible all around Liverpool even today, and even my teachers would refuse to say her name. Anyway we are all entitled to our own opinions.

@Isaiah Lassiter A Nazi that rates Thatcher, Churchill and Lloyd-George as his best Prime Ministers of the 20th century? You should learn to read..

The Crown is not a documentary lol. There were a lot of inaccuracies

A clear sight on all things evil

the milk snatcher

@@b1tchycvnt Nope, it was Wilson's government who put that ball rolling about stopping free milk for kids in school, she struck the compromise to allow under 7's to still have free milk but got the blame. Its no different to the coal mines being shut, Wilsons Labour government shut 2/3 of all British mines and there wasn't a wisper out of the union's for that betrayal but Thatcher shut the last 1/3 of the mines because the Labour union's pushed the price of British coal up so much, it was cheaper to import all our coal from Poland and again Labour said nothing of this issue of coal pricing but again Thatcher got all the blame for British mining being shut. The left like to shout loud about the right but take no responsibility for their own actions...Illegal wars and bankrupting the country 3 times included.

Not really. She never saw German unification coming. Nor her downfall

@@lucius1976 She saw the fall of communism coming because she helped it along, which in turn was the beginning of the reunification of Germany. No one sees their own demise coming or the would avoid it.

. Will the real jon snow please stand up

I don't think she'd approve of Brexit

@@wickandde the northern working classes who supported Brexit don't approve of her either so it's a mutual thing 😅

@@GamerJayR Actually, that's changing more and more. Now the northern working classes like being shafted in the prostate by the british rich. "No one hates the northern working class more than the northern woring class."

I think she would be happy about Brexit. She was really eurosceptic in her late years in office.

She would've been a remoaner, she was all for neoliberal globalist free market economics.. which is why she shut down the backbone of British industry only to outsource it from other countries.

ANDERSON OR STREP???

Poor woman is a a sentence I would use for Magret Thatcher

Wonder what she would think of Justin Traudau

@Hugh Jones as in soft in the head? 😂

Consensus. People agreeing. We certainly would not want that.

The witch?

Poor Madoldbat.

first thing which went through my mind when she uttered those words. Broad brush-stroke at best.

Really?

Absolutely. She would smack bojo on the head if she could see the circus he's turned the PM's office into.

yes

Martin Reid no

Yes

It was just as bad as North Korea.

Yes .and I‘m honest I hate communism

oh come on - i dont think you know what legit human rights violations are then

. Actually she didn't. That is a very misguided view

@@Purwapada she had the same self-harming attitude like the brexiteers today.
