@@arcadian78 I think the mining industry was on It's last legs anyway. Thatcher only slowed down an inevitable decline in this country using casino politics. A short term blip for those who wanted to make money but still a downward trend overall. Its a shame that manufacturing didn't step up in It's place to replace those jobs but the same people who bash Thatcher were quite happy to buy their radios from Taiwan, their TV's from China and their food from the EEC. Her policies were divisive, but can we really say Labour and their strike happy trade unions were any better?

I really do think she was one of our best prime ministers personally .For example she stood up for us internationally. If Mrs thatcher did not lecture the European community and badger them, we would not have the rebate for example. Also, she ruled over her ministers and the opposition with an iron-fist. Since Mrs Thatcher resigned as prime minister, there has not been one single prime minster like her since. She makes me feel proud to be British.

I like the way Margaret Thatcher answered to the question: "Does this make Labour happy?" Her response implies how amazing she was with Larry King. And I hate to see the fact that she now suffers from dementia--the last disease she should have deserved to have when we consider her hey day as the PM of the UK. Controversial as she remains even now, I like her very much. We need a great leader like her. Despite her current condition, her legend will exist forever.

Looking at Thatcher's leadership objectively - without any political bias - you have to give her credit for being principled; steadfast; decisive; assertive; and for sticking to her guns. She wasn't a populist leader who flipped-flopped on issues in order to remain popular and keep office. She was a genuine leader.

Wow. Margaret Thatcher was one of the best Prime Ministers our country has ever had. She might be unliked, but at the end of the day she did what she said she was going to do - and she was elected three times in a row for that reason. If she wasn't liked then why would she be one of the longest serving PM's the UK has ever had? Like some other comments, Thatcher was the last PM who allowed us to feel proud to be British. 13 years of Socialism has sucked all of our Great Britishness out of us.

tdp1909- her father was an alderman and the lord mayor of grantham, he owned 2 grocery stores at a time when most people in the big northern cities didnt even own a pair of shoes. she went to university in an era when only the rich and privaleged went, and not just any old university either, she went to oxford. by tory party standards of the time she was from a modest background but compared to what most people had to put up with in the 30`s she was from a very affluent background.

i'm more or less a left-wing but what margaret has said in this clip and several others is completely true and what i would've expected from a labour party (as in any left-wing party). Her bold and decisive policies were what made her such a famous (and consequently infamous) figure in politics. alhough she proposed such, dare i say, stupid ideas as the poll tax and budget cuts (my politics aren't that great but bear with me) she was able to accurately predict the consequences that came with it.

I dont even look at values. Sometimes a good politician need to measure the impact of their policies too. By any conservative measures, her policies had impacted an awful number of people rendering them unable to suppor their families. That's now consistent with British values no matter our politican beliefs. She was good at many things and the things you mentioned were characterising her but she was unable to know when to step back and see the larger picture.
