    “Every prime minister must tolerate criticism.” “If you put yourself on the frontline, you expect to be shot at.” Wise words from the late right honourable former PM Margaret Thatcher.

    @Rufus Chucklebutty I agree to an extent but it is also the fault of the interviewees. Interviewers often have to interject because the politician is waffling, trying to adapt the question to a different answer they want to put across, or they’re spouting meaningless platitudes for fear of offending someone. The reason interviewers behave so well with Thatcher is because she answered questions head on, with conviction, and she didn’t care if people disagreed or were affronted by her stance.

    Yes and she told them straight. She told the nurse that everyone starts on low wages and that the way around that is to work hard and get promoted. And she told the teacher that if funding was the same she should ask herself why is the system (and possibly her herself) not coming up with the good?! Can you imagine the uproar today if politicians dared say something like that to a nurse or a teacher?!

Sadly Mrs May is no Mrs Thatcher, and we are still stuck in the EU ready for crash out soon with no deal. Mrs Thatcher would never have tolerated that. She would have kicked the EU men in suits in the arse until they agreed to OUR TERMS and not theirs. Agreed?

    Afix ... I’m beginning to think it’s every 60-80 years, which is terrifying. The West is not producing leaders with full foundations in history and ethics and determination, much less logic. Thatcher was a rare human who transcended gender and was utterly, naturally, brilliantly a LEADER. Thatcher in her prime would look at this age of insanity and create immense industries and facilities for the mentally ill and into these facilities would go half the chicken-little, brazen, lawless, scatterbrained Western population, DESERVEDLY. The alternative? We are already seeing it. Suffering it. No relief in sight from the babbling sea of willful, abject fools. Thatcher destroyed all these “planted” women in this encounter. The fat, complacent, lazy West created this current cataclysm, not heroes like Thatcher. Oh, but the decadent “feelings” people would tell you the exact opposite, especially since they’ve had almost 80 years to gaze at their own navels in the flesh and also on media! Clanging cymbals indeed. She showed the proper way and held-off the rot for us, our children, our grandchildren, and maybe the next, in a temporary but valuable way ... but people, CITIZENS have since followed decadence rather than *basic* sense, and their descendants shall PAY and they shall deserve every ruin that falls upon them. This interview is extraordinary: 5 or 6 deliberately complaining TV people and then 7 or 8 harpies/warthogs in a live audience and Thatcher crushed them all. Look away, decent people. Look away. Leaders like Thatcher staved off, valorously, a ruin that is ever inevitable. Celebrate her and curse the vast sea of whimpering do-nothings and decadents who have crushed every empire from Egyptian and Etruscan times to the present day.

    ​@@noodleppoodle Great man. You appreciate the diversity. You think the mixing up of nationals that exists all around the world, in all 190+ countries increasingly so, especially in Western countries these recent years is somehow the definition of British. You try to say the mixing of peoples within Britain is somehow unique when in fact it is the opposite. It is taking away uniqueness in this world. Some of us actually like British culture and we are a people. It is not just a culture of course. It is a people. But go on and deny the existence of a people now too. I doubt people travel to Great Britain to experience Chinese New Year or the Dragon Boat festival or Diwali or to try Mexican food or Italian food. I think there are other countries in the world where one might seek those things and find them a little more authentically. I think there is everything kind in the world about Britain remaining English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh and I think everything nasty about people trying to destroy that. But I guess that is the divide between those that want to do away with separate unique identities and have one big blob of all of us being the same and conforming, and those that want uniqueness to continue to be passed down in this world. And spare me the gene pool BS. There is a tone of diversity within the Welsh people (within our genetics), within the English, the Scottish, the Irish. Think we've done quite well over the centuries. It's not everyone marrying their cousins or something causing birth defects or whatever sick arguments your side seems to make, as though someone tracing their roots far back within the British Isles, is someone defective. It's racist. You don't need people flying from the other side of the planet to increase the gene pool. You like the invaded Britain. Great. Well you're loving the world right now then. Enjoy it. A lot of us actually want to keep our communities in tact and have our culture and people remain the majority of our native land and that is actually a very kind sentiment.

    We’ve had 41 years of Thatcherism or Thatcherism-lite and the country is on the threshold of collapse. Even my local Tory mayor - who’s actually a pretty solid guy - acknowledges that he’s going to have to repair the terrible damage that her policies caused to our local infrastructure before he can start to rebuild the area. At least people could actually spell “Britain” before she came to power.
