I'm not from the UK but I saw this interview of Margret Thatcher. She has psychopath eyes and has this psychopath energy thats hard to explain she constantly dominates people in conversation and stares them down etc

When a normal politican cucks out she says no I am doing these things in an evil way and then dominates you into saying ok its good.

Any British people have thoughts, the interview isn't a long winded one

>>515033619 (OP)
Well she's fucking dead now so who cares. But yeah, she was a real nutter.

Wow very topical
British Boomers are obsessed with Thatcher like American Boomers were obsessed with Nixon
like nigga move on (especially with Nixon, that was even longer ago)

>>515033619 (OP)
most politicians are psychopaths who else would want that job

>>515033619 (OP)
Yes we know. The stubborn bitch wouldn't listen. I still don't know how she got her foot in the door and stayed for so long. Boomers and their fathers were pathetic.

Then again, our generation is pathetic for voting for Labour. Rayner didn't even hide her lust for materialism and somehow people thought she was "working class".


The people of this country are fucked in the head. The zoom zoom at work tells me it's unpatriotic to refuse to oay for the BBC licence. His parents are posh btw.

Thatcher began as PM trying to revive british industry. This proved impossible, or at least she failed. So then she pivoted in later terms to the "new business" and the new expanding industries, service industries, financialisation, STEM, the every more complex wheels within wheels of the city of london.

What is odd though is that although she had an immense majority and mandate, she did nothing at all about moral decline, and corrosion of conservative values in society and in the home and of the individual. She was all about business and the running of the state apparatus.

THis has never really been discussed or addressed. Why didnt she take her immense majority and mandate and try to fix culture and morality too?

For those who think Thatcher "killed the mines", mining was in decline since about 1915 and more mines closed and jobs lost under labour than the tories, she just happened to be there at the fag end of the industry. UK coal is high quality but deep, thin seams, and many fractures, we had guys with small hand drills taking it out as late as the 1980s. Very costly and probably not even posisble to do legally with modern safety laws.

One of the saddest and most frustrating things about the UK, is that nobody is really prepared to look back at the last 80-100 years with objective eyes and understand the various forks in the road we took, what the alternatives were, how the current orthodoxy came about, and if that orthodoxy is not good for Britain... what to change (perhaps change very radically) to jump from where we are now to where we could otherwise be.

Thatcher was a sort of blip, we had a near death experience and her pivot averted that for a little while, while not fundamentally changing the overall direction of most of the country. In the 1980s the sick and drowning industries sunk further down into the abyss while the new and growing industries accelerated. While the economy was overall good, we could afford to paper over this bifurcation.

When inflation is high, when tax revenues are down, and when GDP per capita growth stops (as it has since 2008) the gap between those who are sinking and those who are rising gets very visible. This is where we are now.

If your family got into a growing sector in 1980, chances are their kids and their kids kids will be lifted. If they were in one of these sinking sectors, in a sinking town, chances are their descendants will continue to sink.

Now pour on several million immigrants, illegals, and so on. Shake.

Thatcher's public mandate was one thing.
Her private mandate was the sale of British assets and national dependencies to the fledgling European Union, so the UK and the future EU would be tethered like Siamese twins.
Fishing rights, other resource deals, outsourcing, things of such nature.
Loads of people remember the ruination of British Leyland during (and prior to) her reign as PM, but fail to observe that the foreign brands received excellent factory spaces with plentiful resources and abundant skilled staff to manufacture Datsuns and Toyotas, eventually other brands too.
Those foreign cars were made for the domestic British market, and Thatcher permitted all of that so they could drop Leyland and become more dependent on foreign corporations.

Thatcher did her job very well.
It just wasn't to serve the British people, privately speaking.

I would too if I had to play nice with the people who helped kill my husband.

>politician is psychopath
It's easier to name the few that weren't actual psychos and had to do booze or drugs to cope with doing evil shit.
But yeah, the witch wasn't called a witch for nothing. I always wanted to dance at her grave.

she invented ice cream

some dickhead broke his heart and she had to toughen up

Reagan, Bush, and Clinton did the same thing here, rapidly dismantling our native industries to send to other countries, namely China. Luckily, our government was foresighted enough to leave open the military option for the desperate, white underclass left in the desolation.

The unions killed the mines. The miners were getting such high salaries the mines became non economically viable.

With few exceptions, our home made mass produced cars of the 60s and 70s were rubbish. The exceptions are so unusual any British car enthusiast knows them by name. Jag, Jensen, Triumph, that is maybe 3 car models in 20 years. Only 6500 RHD Jensen's made too, in 20 years. Only 300 per year.

Old technology (Rover K series engine had a bottom end from the A-series, a 1930s part). MAny (austin) were unreliable (it was normal to have trouble starting your british made car in winter). Low tech (seemingly british unable to make a working automatic gearbox for example). My family had some of these cars. A BWM in the 1980s was like riding in the starship enterprise, actually working automatic gearbox, maybe even air conditioning, ABS brakes, alien tech.

I'm sad british industry is dead but most of what we made was trash. Fights with the unions made it expensive, late, and trash the market didnt even want... even if a working product was produced.

John Major stabbed Thatcher in the back for actually making it possible that the uk could be debt free within 2 years. John Major then criminally gave away £16b on 'black' Wednesday 1992. Most to his Masonic friend George Soros. Who later funded antifa, blm, stolen elections etc.
We are where we are because of Major, not because of Thatcher.
She was right about poll tax, now there's 15 men per household.
