Margaret Thatcher on rising to power, and resigning from it 

Margaret Thatcher was quick as a whip on her responses and answered them all brilliantly! She looked at that interviewer like she had three heads when asked if she would jump up in the air! I was mortified that this girl didn’t have the sense nor decency to refrain from asking a ridiculous, childish question to such a dignified and important lady. Mrs.Thatcher looked appalled and you could tell she lost all respect for that girl in that moment!

"I'm good at making you formulate your question properly" - standing ovation to that.

I love it when the interviewer interrupts and Margaret points her finger and finishes what she was saying.

Absolutely loved Thatchers' response... completely absurd to even ask somebody of her status to even do something like that.

Words simply cannot describe how much I admire this woman, absolute living legend.

Mrs Thatcher! We need you now!

Great woman, we need another Thatcher today, more than ever.

They don’t make them like Margret Thatcher anymore

If not for the silliness of the questions, we would not have had the brilliance of the answers.

Wow she doesn’t fuck around she is just boom straight and strong! Wonderful woman.

Stina: This is my chance to trip up Lady Thatcher. Thatcher: Hold my pearls.

I think it's really sweet when the interviewer tells Thatcher about the taxi driver who wanted her back into politics. :)

Thatcher really rules. Amazing interview! (Thanks to Thatcher, that is...)

I have watched every interview that Thatcher has ever done - some are more business like than others. Terry Wogan's was very personal and my feeling is that this interviewer got quite a bit out of her & she was not afraid of such a giant 8/10

Is that the blond girl from ABBA interviewing Thatcher?

Is this chick serious? Did she actually ask Margaret Thatcher to jump in the air? Mrs. Thatcher is around 70 years old in this interview, so why on earth would she do something irrelevant and foolish like jumping up and down for no reason? You have got to be kidding with this!

What a fantastic woman! Sweden needs a leader like her for the next ten years, instead of the jerk we have now.

"I make great leaps forward not lil jumps in studios" - Classic well said Maggie. ...💯👍

I dont know much about politics but I do know that it is an important aspect of our lives. It is neither my capacity nor position to judge what Lady Thatcher had done during her administration. However from the way she talked, her demeanor, that agitated look in her eyes when she talked about her philosophy and principles, I can tell how strong-willed she was.Kind of person who knew her mission and live to see it through.

She was very impressive and knew what she stood for.

I just started watching ... is this the interviewer who famously tried to get her to ''Do a little hop?''

The interviewer has an IQ anywhere between a plant and a rock. "Do you believe that women are more peaceful than men?" This reminds me of Madeleine Albright responding to "would the world be a better place if it was ruled by women"? Albright: "If you believe that, you've forgotten all about high school".

this interview is classy ,20"50 i love the part Stina says you are good at getting away from my question and Thatcher says i am good at making you formulate your questions properly. hahaha.

28:08 Margret owning her

Un legado que permanecerá por SIEMPRE. MARGARET THATCHER, "LA DAMA DE HIERRO" aclaró lo que es justo y verdaderamente enriquecedor. Una líder integral con gran iniciativa y determinación que no se dejaba amedrentar por las políticas socialistas y que luchó hasta el último día de su vida. R.I.P

“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood.”― Leonardo da Vinci.

The look on Thatcher's face when she's asked to jump! hahahahahaha

27:51 "You amaze me. I wonder what he thought of the politics of a free society if that's what they ask you to do." hahahahahahaha

Very good interview. Some of the questions may seem a bit silly, but they are in fact not. They often refer to different kinds of criticism of Thatcher at the time. About how she admittedly proved that women can achieve a lot in today's society, but how typical a woman was she really, if she was an Iron Lady at home as well, how good her negotiation skills were and ability to make compromises if necessary etc. Thatcher was of course aware of this and therefore it is very interesting to listen to her answers.

This interviewer was pretty terrible, honestly. The questions were incredibly inane. No wonder Thatcher was frustrated.

Terrible interviewing, showing the guest very little respect.

This interview is heavily edited especially after Thatcher put her back down a peg or two

One of the greatest leaders in world history!

"Do you like being a woman? what kind of questions is this, this reporter should be ashamed of herself

"I only have help in the house 5 times a week in the morning" lol

I’ve always heard negative things about her, but more recently after listening to the late Prime Minister Margret Thatcher speak, I really do understand and appreciate what she stood for💯💯💯💯

She's amazing!

I’m totally anti Trump. But I will always be pro Thatcher. She had her faults but they were her convictions and nothing was from malice or evil. She was marvelous! My mother (a labor supporter) respected Thatcher more than any prime minister we ever had. Bless her!

Underbar intervju! Dock är ju textningen tyvärr bristfällande i vissa delar... Vem översätter popular till populär i senaste sammanhang?!

Somehow reminds me of Farage, he must not give up and safe our great country from going further downhill. We must not go back to Socialism. Thatcher my hero

Great woman,great interview 🙏🏻💖

Så kul när frågan om kvinnor är mer fredliga, hon ser det som frihet att slås för sina rättigheter, Stina ser det ur socialistiska synvinkeln, man får det man kämpar för, håller med Tatcher

Härlig intervju! Bravo 👏🏻😊

Wow What a good interview. Thatcher at her best/ worst . Loved it

I admire Mrs. Thatcher. That does not mean I like her.

Maggie was still on top form here, loved her taking her down

What in hell was the interviewer thinking? She had a great chance of interviewing a historical great political leader (Thatcher is considered the best prime minister ever after Churchill), and the interviewer asks such dumb questions, and asks her to do a jump at the end. The most amusing thing was that Thatcher was actually insulting her in a very polite (and british!) way and the interviewer did not notice. The only thing this interview was useful for was to show Thatcher's intellect and how puerile was the final request of the interviewer.

11 and a half years in number 10 .. and since this lady left number 10 has there been anyone better? i do like Boris though .

Lady Thatcher didn't think twice about calling Stina out on fallacies of logic & "gotcha" questions intermixed with flaccid ones. Her reaction when asked to jump is vintage Thatcher. I think the period after she was PM & before the dementia took hold was when she was the most clever & outspoken. It's hilarious to hear her backhanded comments about some of the more juvenile questions she's asked and Stina's uncomfortable laughter. Mrs. T did NOT joke. I haven't seen this interview in a long time & it still is fascinating to watch.

She didn't resign, she was kicked out by her own cowardly party.

Never my favourite person at the time, but certainly a great stateswoman, and with dignity which she refused to compromise at the end of the interview. The so-called political 'leaders' of today would have been falling over themselves to jump in the air in order to ingratiate themselves with the audience.

Sweden could use a leader like that

Britain needs another Thatcher or Churchill.

On bahalf of a large part of the Swedish people (unfortunately not the majority) I can only apologize for this ridiculous request made by one of our leading journalists. Swedish journalists are mostly idiots, and Stina Dabrowski is obviously no exception. "Gorbachev did it" she said, as if she was trying to convince a child...

Margaret Thatcher was brilliant of course and Stina who did the interview made me ashamed to be a swede…..

The Prime minister is in terms of personality so much higher than the interviewer. Swedish woman may have Aspergers as she asks questions but she is in not interested to hear answers in slightest....I wish Margareth Thatcher would be around again and lead our country.

She was powerful classy and yes she was hatted but only because she was powerful i thought you did great with your interview she got the job done that is fact .

I asked my father who fought in tanks throughout WW2 whether, when Germany had occupied the whole of mainland Europe, whether he thought at any time that we might lose the war. He sat back at age 80+ and thought a short while before pursing his lips and simply saying - No. He was no true blue conservative. Born in the valleys of South Wales where his mother would not let him go down the mines so he joined the army as a better option. 'I didn't know that there was going to be a bloody war did I?' In those days everyone fought for Britain whether you voted Labour, Liberal or Conservative. That is what made a strong but diverse society.

Appreciate your interview with her Margaret Thatcher conservative. She powerful Thomas. Hopefully FPO win Austrian Chancellor Art Bezrukavenko deliver it. Support Martin sellner Austrian. Italy said No UN migration pact. Miracle Sweden won 🇸🇪 Swedish government right wing National Conservative government Thomas did ask Art Bezrukavenko help win Sweden general election yes. Awesome.

What a horrible interviewer. Thatcher was always a serious person and not given to morning TV stunts.

Where was this interview conducted - it shows number 35 someplace - she lived at 73 Chester place . . .

Maggie is the Man!

The interviewer looks like the blond one out of ABBA as she looks now

but asking a lady if this high standard with class to 'jump' is totally disrespectful rip Margret.

the interviewer stood no chance ... who decide to pick her to do the interview ?!?

Society is built on a double edge sword on one hand you can have many opportunities at your disposal on the other you can have little to none around you at all to say to people to set priorities is basic and should be implemented But recognize the stability those people experience in there day to day lives depending is not terrible because in a rich society homeless citizens should be non existent money should be accessible and education should be funded extensively creating stability for the vulnerable and encouraging healthy behaviors towards one another approaching matters with a more broader perspective embracing the future rather then the same accommodation for fragility.

I think Stina Dabrowski did well in her interview but asking her to jump .. stop it ....

💪👍✌️Bravo Maggie!

Caligula - a Roman fighter? My god, the education in the socialistic Sweden has not done a very good job :-(

That interviewer was awful didn't she do any research? Why did they send agnetha from abba?

It's fantastic 💓

loved hearing about her early days the woman had class and intelligence its as simple as that . as for this strange woman doing the interview .. no comment ..

Clearly the greatest politician Britain ever had.

Though I don't politically agree with Thatcher, but she is an intelligent and driven person. Unfortunately the interviewer is rather stupid and rude with her unintelligent questions.

I guess coming from the country the interviewer did she wasn't used to leaders that don't jump to other people's or countries tune!!... Yep I'm sorry I know that's a bit tactless, but come on!!.. Lady Thatcher of course made it clear she wouldn't do that, she also had to explain why Britain shouldn't have to apologise for standing against the Nazis when no one would, we're proud of that, just because you're country didn't do the morally right thing, doesn't mean we should feel guilty, that's absurd.... Nobody likes to say you're country didn't do what was right, you sat on the fence etc etc, but when you try to belittle us for doing the right thing, and standing alone to do the right thing, don't be surprised when you get that answer.... Oooh and breath 🙄

Stina asks Thatcher why she feels Great Britain has been standing for something more than other countries, Thatcher starts to explain the constitutional system that was put in place nearly 1000 years ago, Stina's head explodes and she changes the subject.

She was not only tough, she had a sense of humour too!

Barbara Castle blazed the trail for Maggie and she should have been the first woman PM

Yoooooooohr Mahjesteyyy

Fascinating!!! what a woman!!! inspiring steely!!!

Congratulations Stina! Great contribute to history.

no jump!

hahahahahaha 'a roman fighter'

Getting SAS to break a prison riot Beautiful. One could only hope for a resolution to channel crisis. SBS. I wish she was in charge now

When was this what year

I love this woman

La entrevistadora está muy enfocada en el tema de la mujer en el poder y sus preguntas resultan molestas.

"They have made a grave mistake choosing that woman." Edward Heath

can anybody tell me what word she says in 17:03 ? "we must take the .... share of what he earn to be spent by the state"

The interviewer... I feel like I lost some brain cells

Thatcher would move in her grave if she knew the status of UK. The nerve of saying UK was never defeated when they were the aggressor worldwide.

I wonder if Stina liked or disliked Thatcher after this interview???

Bellissima

Ha ha ha poor Stina gets so owned

Oh Man... I just reheard the interview... I can not believe what this woman said... * "Do you like being a woman?..." Thatcher's answer is great "I have never tried the alternative" hehehe * "Caligula, who was a roman fighter"... Caligula was a roman emperor * "You are very good at deviating my questions" "I am good at making you formulate your questions correctly"

We could do with her now. Boris pales into insignificance compared to Margaret Thatcher

“I enjoy being a woman, I haven’t tried the alternative, and I don’t want to!”

The Lady is not for jumping. Quite right too. Excellent answers from Baroness Thatcher.

How embarrassing to ask someone who, love or hate her, is such an important part of history and politics to "do a little jump." Thatcher somehow amazingly managed to get out of that absurd request with both dignity and not looking as if she taking herself too seriously by almost poking fun at herself and laughing "all right no! no, no, no, to coin a phrase!" The likes of bumbling Boris and Theresa May with her "dancing" would have eagerly complied and looked like fools, you'll never see the likes of Maggie again

"I made great leaps forward, not little jumps in a studio." Rightly so.
