Margaret Is Hesitant to Sign the Statement | The Crown (Olivia Colman, Gillian Anderson) 

a whole scene about how nobody thought to grab a damn thesaurus

My supervisor reviewing my thesis

Being a civil servant is doing this day after day thousands of times xD

Her face expressions while reading at the beginning looks hilarious😂

imagine rewriting the whole page just to change one word

Paperwork has never been so dramatic

I would've been like,"Just sign the damn thing!"

Poor typewriters...

This is the statement against apartheid in South Africa?

OMG! That signature was on point. Amazing.

Gillian did a fabulous Job in the crown!!!

I always thought this as she wouldn't make a finale decision until she found out about her lost son, so she wouldn't be accused of making decisions under duress?

That marker sound ! Tingling my spine

Agent Scully has transformed.

One of my favorite scenes of the season!

A literal war of words

So....all they needed was a thesaurus?

Consuela.

And back then they had to retype the whole thing each time!

Hey, good morning! 🌤️🏖️

Couldnt they just have talked it out over the phone?

May I have a word?

Reminds me of my 7th grade English teacher

Is that a Tempo felt-tip?! Sacrilege!

if only they have Google Docs

I don't really understand this scene, as it makes it appear the queen was directly involved in it? As far as I'm aware she would never be involved in international matters like this

Oh the red check mark pen

Margaret Is Just Like A Teacher Grades Math School Works!

Gillian I love you.

I didn’t know The Crown was a comedy 😂

About which statement was it?

I have a legitimate question, although England is and was under a constitutional monarchy doesn’t the Queen have the power to overrule? It is said that she didn’t involve herself in politics but to my understanding isn’t her word the final decision? Let’s go back for a moment when Queen Elizabeth the first reigned, did she have more say for lack of a better word? Or was there ever a time in England’s history where the King or Queen could make sure decisions that shaped the UK’s future? I hear on one side “Oh, she’s just a figurehead” but on another I hear that she had powers that she dear not used when it came to politics. From the research I did long ago I hear that she can dissolve a government on a whim. If she wasn’t too fond of MT why not be an Iron Crown? Maybe it wouldn’t look good for publicity? Or she had grown to respect MT that she didn’t want to be a thorn in her side? I can’t imagine MT going toe to toe with Queen Elizabeth the first or Even King Henry the 8th for that matter. But under Henry maybe she would have been found guilty of Treason against the crown and likely executed. I would love for someone to chime in and give their opinion because I know there are a lot of history buffs in the comment sections.

The real Margaret Thatcher doesn't have a stiff neck

It's cliché but...the pen is mightier than the sword and words matter. Tatcher knows it and from an internationale relation point of view, some of those words were ridiculous to put !

can someone explain what was the problem? what word she was looking for?

ChatGPT could have ended this nonsense in seconds 😅

Nnnou, nnnou , NNNOOU!!

Par de aferradas

Absolutely pointless

Who is this Sunny guy?

Maggie was right, Queenie was wrong on this.

History is not kind to Thatcher. Rightly so.

Now they’re arguing in heaven

OK, I get it. This was two powerful women, one the elected head of a nuclear power, the other the symbol, icon, and sovereign of that power and what image that power wanted to project in a male dominated world. But Jesus Christ this was petty nonsense. Don't get me wrong here... I'm well aware that men can be just juvenile, petty, and silly and that often the voters put people into office that have all those character traits in spades. But it is so hard to break out a thesaurus and then ask each party in the argument what word is acceptable?

Thatcher in this scene was right. The 48 countries moved to her goalpost.

Fuck me I hate being on Thatcher's side.

Is this when the Queen sell Rhodesia down the river?

Ding dong the witch is dead

Margret Thatcher is the best example of leadership I can possibly think of.

Marget Thatcher was by far the better leader. To bad she had to deal with a monarchy since all the effort to coddle the queen in regards to the common wealth probably wasted large amounts of time which could have been better spent to the benefit of Great britain
