9:34 pm
like britain's. thatcher's second term began with almost as much difficulty as the first. after coming to power, she conducted an experiment by selling a small nationalized company, a national freight company, to its employees, which caused an apparently positive reaction. after a convincing victory in the 1983 election, thatcher became bolder. it was sold by most of the large utility companies that were present in state ownership since the end of the 40s, starting with britige telecom. many on the left despised the policy of privatization, but it was precisely this policy that would become synonymous with thackeray. left-wing critics called privatization the biggest electoral bribery in history, but thatcher's political and economic philosophy emphasized shrinking the state. intervention, free

9:36 pm
announced its intention to close 20 coal plants mines this meant the loss of 20,000 jobs. in connection with constipation. mines in their regions, miners went on strike at various coalfields, although this was not widely known at the time, the thatcher government prepared to repeat the successful strike of '74 by stockpiling coal to avoid power cuts. more than 600 miners were already on strike when the local vote led to strikes at many other mines. in response , the thatcher government announced that five mines would be rapidly closed. march 12, 1984 the unions declared a national strike and called for action by their members in all
9:37 pm
coal mines. 18 june 84 at the coke plant in orgreave. a skirmish took place, which gained wide publicity. this confrontation between the striking miners and the police was called the battle of the orgs. the conflict erupted after the mounted police attacked the miners and seriously injured them. two separate incidents, an attack on a miner in november and the manslaughter of a taxi driver in december, led to... the end of the strike nearly a year after it beginning the national trade union of the miners gave in without any agreements. the conservative
9:38 pm
thatchar government closed all but 15 of the country's mines, and the remaining 15 were sold in 1994. it became the main political and ideological victory of margaret thatcher and the conservative party. in october 1984, during the miners' strike, the irish republican army tried to kill margaret thatcher and many members of her cabinet by blowing up her hotel in during the annual conference of the conservative party. the bomb exploded on october 12 at 2:54 am at night thatcher was still awake, working on a speech for tomorrow's conference in her room. the explosion badly damaged her bathroom, but left the living room and bedroom intact.

fell on the flowers that stood on the opposite side of the church. and it occurred to me that this was a day i was not supposed to see. british northern ireland policy was a constant source of conflict for every prime minister in '69, but margaret thatcher was particularly hated and ... by her refusal to accommodate their political demands. and politics has always been irreconcilably hostile to terrorism, republican or loyalist on november 15, 1985, she negotiated the anglo-irish gilsborough agreement. for the first time, the british government gave the republic of ireland the right to vote in the governance of northern ireland. the agreement was an attempt to improve security cooperation between great britain and. ireland and give some recognition to the political views of catholics in northern ireland. the deal failed to immediately
9:42 pm
end political violence in northern ireland. the coalition government envisaged in the agreement never became a reality for many years. however, the deal improved cooperation between the british and irish governments, which was key to the good friday agreement 12 years later. personally. the friendship between president ronald reagan and margaret thatcher has often been described as an ideological kindred spirit. they shared a philosophy of free markets, low taxes, limited government intervention, and strong defense. in 1982, thatcher and reagan agreed to replace the british navy's polaris missiles with american trident missiles. reagan became the second foreign leader to address both chambers parliament regan. supported the falklands war and approved the supply of the latest weapons to the british task force.
9:43 pm

9:44 pm
our fireside gatherings determined to seize every opportunity to create a safer world, peace and freedom. hard work lies ahead, but we are ready for it. secretary general gorbachev, we are asking you to join us in doing this work, and i am sure you will. thank you. the platform of the thatcher government during its third term was one of the most ambitious in the history of british government. measures have been taken to reform the education system. the national curriculum was introduced for the first time. a new tax system has been created for local self-government. public fee or tax to the vote, as his opponents called him. legislation was also passed which separated consumers and providers of services in the nhs, which... opened up the service to competition and increased opportunities for effective management. all
9:45 pm
three measures were highly controversial. in particular, the public levy is a serious political issue, as local councils took advantage of the introduction of the new system to increase tax rates, blaming the thatcher government for this. margaret thatcher's successor, john major, abandoned this system in 1991. instead, education and health care reforms have proven to be sustainable. subsequent governments relied on their achievements and partially expanded the scope of their application. experienced a boom in 87-88, but also began to overheat. in 1988, interest rates had to be doubled. there was an open split in the government regarding currency management. margaret thatcher strongly opposed the policies proposed by her chancellor of the exchequer and others. pegs of the pound sterling to the deutschmark through
9:46 pm
the european exchange rate mechanism. by it badly soured her relationship with the chancellor of the exchequer. nigel lawson and he retired in october '89. behind this dispute lay deep differences within the government over policy towards the european union itself. the prime minister was increasingly at odds with her foreign secretary, sir geoffrey gow. in all matters related to european integration. her speech in bruges in september '88 in... celebrated the process by which the conservative party, which had once been predominantly pro-european, had become predominantly eurosceptic. all this happened against the background of international events, which were very useful for the conservatives. in the late 1990s, the cold war ended, and free markets and institutions were restored. however, this event
9:47 pm
launched the next phase of european integration, as france from... gave birth to the project of a single european currency, hoping to check the strength of a united germany. as a result, the divisions within the british government over european policy, which had deepened since the end of the cold war, have now become particularly acute. 1 in november 1990, sir geoffrey gao resigned and with his bitter farewell speech accelerated mike's challenge to margaret thatcher's leadership. heselteyn. in the next vote, she received the majority of votes. however, according to party rules, the lead was insufficient and a second vote was required. after receiving this news at a conference in paris, she immediately proclaimed her intention to fight on. but a political earthquake struck the day after her return to london. many colleagues from her
9:48 pm
government did not support her in issues of europe and doubted that she would be able to win the fourth general election. suddenly abandoned her leadership and left her no choice but to resign. this is a very brave and selfless decision of the prime minister. once again, margaret thatcher put the interests of her country and party above personal considerations. this will allow the party to elect a new leader who will unite the party and continue its tremendous successes. i would like to add that i am very saddened by the fact that our most outstanding peacetime prime minister has left the government, she was an outstanding leader not not only of our country but of the world, i don't believe we will see a leader like her again. thatcher resigned as prime minister on november 28, 1990. i can say that i heard
9:49 pm
that mrs. thatcher resigned, right away. i say that during her premiership she made an outstanding contribution to the history of britain and led this country to great achievements in the 80s. the resignation you've just heard about opens the way for an election for the leadership of the conservative party, which will allow others to put forward their candidacies. i welcome it very much, i wouldn't have expected my own name to be there since it had already been put forward. we will find a way to unite the conservative party and win the next general election. she was succeeded by john major, who held the post until tony blair's labor government won the may 1997 election.
9:50 pm
personally, i will miss her because i value her advice. i appreciate her many years. wisdom that comes from her many years of experience, she was an outstanding prime minister of the united kingdom, and an outstanding friend of the united of the states after 90, lady thatcher, as she became, remained a powerful political figure. she wrote two volumes of best-selling memoirs, the downing street years and the road to power, and continued to lecture around the world for a decade. to the rich, not because of human mercy, but because of their own rational interest. so you don't need to be a saint to make the economy work well. you have to set the rules and then give people the opportunity to do their jobs. in 2002 a book of reflections on international
9:51 pm
politics, art, and state management was also published in 2016. during this time, she made several important interventions in domestic british politics, in particular with regard to bosnia and the maastricht treaty. in march 2002, after several small strokes, she announced the end of her public speaking career. denis thatcher, her husband of more than 50 years, died in june 2003. margaret thatcher remains a very controversial figure in britain. critics argue that her economic policies have caused social split, that it was rigid and indifferent in its policies, and hostile to the institutions of the british welfare state. defenders emphasize the transformation of britain's economic indicators during the reign. thatcher and her successors as prime minister. at the same time, both critics and supporters recognize thatcher's premiership as a fundamentally important period in the history of great britain. during the 1980s
9:52 pm
, margaret thatcher gained enormous authority and often commanded the respect of even her staunchest critics. indeed, its influence on the conditions of the political debate was profound. regardless of whether or not the leaders of the labor party have actually converted. or were simply forced to pay lip service to her, her time in office changed their views, and the policies of new labour, tony blair and gordon brown, would not have existed without her. her legacy remains the foundation of modern british politics. the global economic crisis of 2008 revived many arguments from the 80s, and her name remains at the center of the debate. debate in britain. the author of the script is louis royer.
