Although she never really warmed to our earlier Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Garrett Fitzgerald of Fine Gael or Jack Lynch of Fianna Fáil, she had a great friendship with our later Taoiseach Charles (Charlie) Haughey of Fianna Fáil and this friendship was legendary in Irish circles at the time - her firm and fearless stance against the IRA and Sinn Fein in the light of their terrorist bombing attacks in both the U.K. and in the Republic, including the murder of Lord Mountbatten in Co. Sligo, in Northern Ireland and also in Dublin, clearly demonstrated her perceptive nature about Sinn Fein, who were later revealed to be Marxist traitors to the Irish people - her firm stance also laid the groundwork for the Good Friday Agreement and the Northern Ireland Peace Process with the Northern Ireland Assembly in Stormont

There are a lot of issues with some older BBC source tape because of the way they were stored before we had reliable digital storage, because the technology used to encode the tape wasn't good to begin with, and because was a tendency to reuse the same tape over and over again. The issue with this sound is that it was/is in the stereo format and it sounds as though the two sound encoding lines have degraded at different parts of the tape, which is why it'll cut out in one ear and then, later on, cut out in the other ear, this could use some remastering, but that would require funds and a will to get it done, or a really nice person with a lot of time on their hands.

Excellent documentary

All of you putting down the crown for how they failed to capture Thatcher in parliament and her cleaver wittiness, are missing this one reason...its called "THE CROWN" Its about "THE QUEEN" Thatcher's portrayal is related to "THE QUEEN" and thatcher didn't crack jokes with her and have a jolly good time.

I feel she portrayed an older version of her throughout the show.

Was waiting on David and Nigel to pop out at StoneHenge

Economically, she did great things for the UK, but at great cost to the workers but she committed the same mistakes as any long term national leader of any political or ideological leaning: She stayed too long, lost touch with reality, and did not step down gracefully despite the red flags all around her. Lesson: Two terms and out. Always leave them wanting more, not less.

Doing great things for the economy but at great cost to the workers seems like an irrecocilable contradiction to me. I was disgusted with her and her version of dog eat dog ruthless unalloyed capitalism. She said "You (U)- turn if you want to, the lady's not for turning." If I had been an MP I would have stood toe to toe with her and said "I am not for turning", and if it it meant I would starve to death, then so be it. Nobody has the monopoly on their determination to drive through what they think is right, and if I had had the opportunity I would have rammed her policies right back down her throat! Her policies did irreversible damage to the working classes. Look at what Britain has become. It has become a society rent asunder by a grotesque level of inequality to the extent that its cohesiveness is threatened. The origins of this inequality can be found in policies invoked by the Thatcher government from 1979.

She didn't give Hong Kong back to the Chinese. Thatcher lost power in 1990 and Hong Kong was handed back in 1997.

@@skeptical_sorcerer Hong Kong was not part of the treaty originally. It was ceded to Britain in perpetuity as part of the treaty of Nanking in 1841, which was ratified by the Daoguang Emperor in 1842. In 1860, the territory was expanded to include the Kowloon Peninsula (first and second opium wars, respectively). In 1898, the *New Territories* were leased for 99 years, and were the only thing that was required to be handed back to the Chinese in 1997. It wasn’t until 1984 when Britain agreed to hand back the entirety of Hong Kong in 1997, instead of just the part they’d originally leased, as part of the Sino-British Joint Declaration. It was signed by two people: Margaret Thatcher, and the then premier of China, Zhao Ziyang. As Margaret Thatcher later recounted, Deng had told her that he could “walk in and take the lot this afternoon”, insisting that China would not honour the treaty it had signed in 1842 (despite the then Emperor ratifying it). Her reply had been that there was nothing she could do to stop him, except that the world would know what China was really like. So yeah, Britain did have a choice (albeit not a great one). As I said though, I’m not arguing that it shouldn’t have been given back, just that it seems out of step that the British felt the need to start a war so as to keep control over a small rock half way around the world, yet not stand up to the CCP and protect the democratic rights and freedoms of the citizens of Hong Kong.
