away from ronald reagan and margaret thatcher. to my great regret, the impact of this exceptional trio of truly legendary personalities turned out not to be permanent. it brought about only a short-term or perhaps medium-term change. its original effect has already fully evaporated. the prominent personalities of the contemporary europe are politicians such as emmanuel macron or the new pope francis. the names reagan, thatcher, or john paul ii are more or less forgot. do we actively try to do something with it? i am afraid not. where to look for new upholders and advocates of old conservative ideas and beliefs? at the same time for able, persuasive politicians who would be able to make these ideas dominant again. ronald reagan, margaret thatcher, and john paul ii had all of these characteristics. exceptional, highly improbable historic coincidence or something because mankind deserves it. in this respect, i am rather pessimistic. thank you for your attention.

thatcher,f margaret who i believe deserves to be mentioned as well. arean and thatcher politicians. john paul ii was the pope. he benefited from the opportunity to experience the reality of communism in his native poland. these individuals, more than anyone else changed to europe and the world. would probably want to stress especially their extraordinary role in bringing communism to an end. yes and no. yes because there is no doubt about it. me theyse it seems to did much more. when speaking at a conference in the ronald reagan presidential library in california in november, 2009 on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall, i made the point that the european so-called helsinki progress was bring anyand naive to results. the only real help from outside that accelerated the final corpse of communism came from ronald reagan and margaret thatcher. they understood that words alone were not enough to bring the end of this evil empire. they understood more than anyone soviet system and the soviet expansionism had to be resisted. not just considered wrong. the ro

of ronaldhe result reagan, margaret thatcher and , solutionthe second would've taken much longer. he would have mentioned the same point, it would have lasted decades longer. i disagree. terms of years, not just decades. these three individuals did not just help us in central and eastern europe to get rid of communism. they did more. changed the west itself. they understood what was wrong prosperouslatively west of the 1970's and 1980's. they looked with critical eyes on the leftist ideology that began dominating europe and the west and dare to oppose it. they had strong ideological views and very loudly defended western conservative values. the reflected and expressed wisdom of ordinary citizens, not of political elites and they succeeded to change the type of public thinking. not contending the --ss medic policy only pragmatic policy only. ronald reagan and margaret .hatcher returned to the people they almost lost believe in capitalism and free markets, fully in a stain opposition to the prevailing , especially ine western europe at the time. it was different in the central and

yes, and what we are seeing really is a woman like margaret thatcher who is standing ona like margaretnd she has rolled up her sleeves and got the bit between the teeth and she is determined to go on and on as margaret thatcher put it. this does win huge admiration, but it also potentially looks for other dangerously out of touch. i think margaret thatcher and in her last days, she did not really see the writing on the wall. and listened less and less at a point where she needed to listen more. they are very different in different places politically and different personalities. the common thread is that they are both women and people like us, it‘s a book not only about thatcher‘s last 18 months but also how women are treated and how they behave in positions of power. this terrible slide i think she is now on, which is probably going to end ina very on, which is probably going to end in a very nasty political assassination is an example of that. but what i found, when i was working at number10, but what i found, when i was working at number 10, you would be sitting inside looking at peo

margaret thatcher's name was not mention today. primes a conservative minister who do not think very highly of the european union, as i call now. nile: absolutely. margaret thatcher as early as the urged britain to leave european union, so she was the first british politician to talk about brexit, actually. i'm sure if lady thatcher were alive today, she would be appalled with this latest proposal put forth by theresa may. dealis a very bad deal, a that is not have the support of the majority of my own party. you've already seen a series of resignations from the cabinet. margaret thatcher would have stood up to the european union. she would have negotiated a strong, tough, robust deal in the british national interest. the deal theresa may has is not in britain's interest. it shackles the cost to the european union indefinitely. it also allows for the continuation of thousands of eu rules and regulations to apply to great britain, and also the european court of justice continues to have a say. this is unacceptable. i think margaret

and michael heseltine was the person who took on margaret thatcher so many yea rs took on margaret thatchergo and he lost the prize. he tried to take her on and lost. it is interesting that dominic raab says he resigned from the government but he resigned from the government but he still supports the prime minister. he does not want to be seen to be plunging the knife in. it is 28 years to the day on tuesday when it was the leadership election against margaret thatcher. it could be happening this week. after they got rid of margaret thatcher the tories were in for another seven years. i'm quite keen to get to the front the independent. we are talking about the economic impact of brexit. i picked something up earlierfrom a brexit. i picked something up earlier from a german brexit. i picked something up earlierfrom a german mep brexit. i picked something up earlier from a german mep who brexit. i picked something up earlierfrom a german mep who is saying michel barnier has been clever because he has not once mentioned the economic impact on european countries. he is always talking about the

and the story here, the warning is don't do what we did to margaret thatcher, the public did not likeichael heseltine found his own personal cross when he tried to ta ke his own personal cross when he tried to take on margaret thatcher for the leadership of the tory party, that he lost out. as we were saying earlier, the conservatives, despite changing leader, went on to have seven more years in power. so they may be looking at that, but no one wa nts to may be looking at that, but no one wants to be seen to be plunging the knife. it was interesting, dominic raab, the former brexit secretary, who resigned, said i still support theresa may but couldn't with any conscience to stay in cabinet with this disagreement, basically. there is now a beauty parade of leadership contenders this week. you could have a summit this week, the tory leadership campaign this week, i think like stephen hawking says, there are a million universes, there could be a million versions of brexit we could have, and trying to second—guess it is impossible. brexit we could have, and trying to second-guess it is im

he took this piece of information and decide decided t was too volatile to tell margaret thatcher said he didn't tell anyone at all he just put it in his pocket and prayed they would lose the election. the queen would have had to have been important because this was a major constitution. the family settled i into britan very happily with their two little girls now and adored being in britain and had absolutely no idea that her husband was a double agent for the british. she was a fully loyal citizen and would have been absolutely appalled. she was producing higher and higher quality. this is a photograph of one of the demonstrations that took place after the airliner. relations between east and west were as tense and dangerous as they had been during the cold war. what he was able to reveal to his handlers was that so far from being the aggressive in the nuclear confrontation, the credit was genuinely fearful the west was planning a first strike. they were genuinely convinced the west was going to attack first which came as a revelation because some of this information, much of it was

[applause] kim: good afternoon everyone, it is a pleasure

i fully agree more than anything else and in case of ronald reagan, john paul ii, margaret thatcher,t was the case. they were not just pragmatists. they were not just doing government business, they were optimists and they had strong views and strong ideas so i fully agree that ideas matter, but, what does it mean if we look at the world around us, if you look at our politicians, most in western europe, eastern europe, are there any ideas among these politicians? i don't see anyone with strong views, strong ideas, and if they are ideas than they are ideas which are totally unacceptable. i am absolutely convinced that ideas matter more than anything in this respect i am an idealist definitely but i am afraid there are no great ideas among the current politicians. that is my pessimism and therefore i don't see some hopeful tomorrow or day after tomorrow, who will do it? who will be that realistic? >> let me say i want to come back and break that down into several areas. >> let my put my american hat on for a minute. i am a polish politician but the i am a u.s. citizen. perhaps -- i thi

i brought with me the beautiful reflections by margaret thatcher on her view on reagan. one of them relates to what you just asked. he said's view that we should fight the battle ideas for freedom against communism throughout the world and to refuse the concept, and except the permanent exclusion of captive nations from the benefits of freedom. that undergirds this program. it is worth saying a few points here. the first is your first question, this bill underscores the first question. ronald reagan was someone who wanted to advance freedom and he wanted to not accept the substances of the captive nations worldwide. he also wanted to do something about it . he wanted to apply all instruments of policy toward that end. secondly, what was also significant was it was not just only the actions, but also the words. ideas mattered, and the ideas that was put on the table was followed up by policies. they had consequences definitively. thirdly, to me, being informed policy, i think about these directives, and i do think about that directive and how that directive can provide a

[laughter] we came out with powerbrokers and margaret thatcher, reformers, the protestant reformation and then martin luther king jr.. we came out with heroes and then we had a standalone. we put robert e. lee because of all of the figures in my life and my youth, p he was the iconc leader. i went through washington high school for me he was the exemplar of the battlefield quality leadership and its complex to write about now and i have a complex relationship with his memory, but i didn't think i could honestly write a book about leaders without the one bites the most time in my life thinking about. >> why have you changed your mindwh about that? when i was the second lieutenant she spent $25 bought me a painting of robert e. lee. you get quite a painting for $25. this is the symbol of what i thought about leadership and they would say this is what stanley mcchrystal admires and then after charlottesville he asked me what about that picture i could never get rid of something you gave me. and she said i don't think it means for everybody what it does for you. i think it is sending an u

we need another margaret thatcher. we don't have the right players at the moment. we talked a lot about transatlantic alliance at the conference the other day. absolutely. but at this moment, i have more faith in a transatlantic alliance than i have in a european alliance. because all of the countries in europe are divided. until europe can work together, we cannot unite and this is very , very important. [applause] mr. o'sullivan: i'd like to come back to all of those points quickly. we're talking about a lasting legacy. let's break it down into economics, religion, we're talking about the book as well pope as well as reagan today, and politics. let's talk about religion first in a way. no one on the panel here is a theologian. at the end of his life, the pope was depressed because europe had not revived the belief in christianity in europe as he had hoped once communism was gone. and in fact, one could argue eastern and central europe had been, so to speak, infected by the decryptedness of the west rather than enjoying the prosperity. the first question i would l

now with margaret thatcher, it was interesting. because basically the whole idea of a hedge against war and the nuclear balance and those kinds of things were something that in europe was very much the basic idea and the basic foundation of the defense system at that time. just as nato was going to be installing potentially nuclear weapons in europe to combat what the soviet union already had there, that concept. one of the things she was worried about as i read the materials later was she was worried that somehow this would violate or would degrade that sense of nuclear balance that was preventing war in europe. i think the more she learned and as she indicated by what they -- you mentioned, i think she really came to understand what ronald reagan had in mind. his idea was that we have technological capabilities that were never thought of one generation ago, particularly the generations that preceded his. look at all the things that have happened there. why can't we put that same energy and good thinking, same exploration into som

it has revived the old signifiers of margaret thatcher. of whisky. those are the signifiers from the margaret thatcher era and they have revived them and repurposed them for a much more gentle kind of centrist view. whereas if you turn to the telegraph, they are absolutely sabre—tooth to. telegraph, they are absolutely sabre-tooth to. do you think... you referred to margaret thatcher and similar pieces been done. he remembered pieces like this being done about david brown, —— gordon brown, david cameron? ella might know. nobody was pathetic to those people in the same kind of way. interestingly, bob of the papers to trot that out, he would have thought it would have been the daily mail? here in the telegraph, very different. not unsympathetic or boorish. and interestingly, you can see the telegraph has a little spread about how tory backbenchers a lwa ys spread about how tory backbenchers always undermine their leaders, from john major through to iain duncan smith. it is quite an interesting contextual peace. but much more different, reall

margaret thatcher, had doubts about it at the time but in her memoir, she wrote that looking back on it, ronald reagan's original decision on sdi was the single most important of his presidency,". now, can you explain what the new york times meant? what they thought they meant when they referred to it as a pipe dream? >> well, the new york times, is often wrong, let's put it that way. and, -- >> -- [ applause ] >> and, they were so wrapped up in this idea, and quite frankly, not really believing that the soviet communism was as much of a threat, they were part of that group, that felt that even the moral equivalency ideas were not foreign to the new york times, so, that was why they had no confidence in it whatsoever. now margaret thatcher, it was interesting, because basically the entire idea of a hedge against war, and, the nuclear balance and those types of things were something that in europe was very much the basic idea and the basic foundation of the defense system at that time. just as nato was going to be installing potentially nuclear weapons in europe to combat what the sov

i hear the voice of margaret thatcher echoing in my ears, the lady is not returning.this lady is not the learning, that's the problem, she keeps making the same problem again and again. one of the reasons dominic raab may be against her is partly because she is hardly using him in negotiations, she has completely given it over to the civil service. that was the complaint david davis made when he was brexit secretary. the front of the daily mail, i remember many moons ago when you were a key figure in the conservative christian fellowship. that's right. we've both been around too long! this story is an extraordinary story, terrifying in many ways. her lawyer had already fled pakistan because he fears for his fate. boris johnson fled pakistan because he fears for his fate. borisjohnson now fled pakistan because he fears for his fate. boris johnson now saying britain has a moral obligation. i think, to be fair, the italians abroad it offered her sanctuary, in some way has to be found to get her safely out of pakistan. there are huge problems with religious freedom all ov
