you always knew where thatcher stood on issues. there was no middle ground for margaret thatcher. she wasn't interested in consensus building. which she thought was is -- she wasn't interested in focus groups, the latest political fad. she actually didn't pay that much attention to opinion polls. but she didn't like this sort of modern fad for sort of identity politics. she believed in treating people as individuals, regardless of your social background, your race, your color. she didn't believe in identifying people. by where they came from. she believed in treating everyone as individuals. i think that was a key part of her success. in 1989, in the speech to the conservative women's conference, she declared "we the conservative party are conviction politicians. we know what we believe. we hold fast to our belief, when elected, we put them in to practice. those are the words of a hugely successful politician. i think there are words that should be heard by in politician today. she also said in 1989 we put never power before principles. principles were always a paramount importanc

margaret thatcher never waivered from her consertive belief.n't believe in consensus and giving ground to the left.s conservatives -- >> she gave them hell is what he did. >> she's a fearsome figgy that took on the left and defeated the left and she saved a great nation, britain, from imminent decline. >> she would take on all comers and destroy them with her arguments, her logic, her flair, her command of language, she was magnificent. i don't know what would happen if psident obama were to walk into a room and have to engage that way or president bush, to be fair about it, what do you think? >> that system is unique and you have to rise to the top there at the dispatch box as you say and be able to command your brief, be able to artulate your positions and i don't think that the american people -- >> have you seen anybody better than her? >> no, not at this dispatch box. >> the only figure who's comparable to margaret thatcher is ronald reagan. >> her great friend. >> absolutely. margaret thatche was a great communicator and she told highly c

up next, the new book, margaret thatcher, power and personality. they call the iron lady. and we will be talking about her personality that was so big and so large and so effective. jonathan aiken joins us next from london. >> a new book takes a look at margaret thatcher's life. my next guest, the iron lady served as a member of parliament under her. joining us now is jonathan aiken, his new book is entitled margaret thatcher, power and personality, and she had lots of personality throughout her entire charge. congratulations on the book, we are reommending it to our viewers and it is not a small challenge. it is thorough and fascinating. please tell us about how you and lady thatcher got along when she was prime minister? >> i have known her a long time, 37 years to be precise. and i first met her when i was the youngest conservative candidate and she was still unknown, who kind of came through with a lot of it encouragement and we were in parliament for 23 years together. when she was running to become the leader of the opposition here and i was

former thatcher aide. they are the co-authors of this new book. margaret thatcher on leadership.have to say that i just hope that conservatives will read it and very soon. she won elections because she stuck to her guns and this comes at a time when the republicans are being told don't be too conservative and you better go beta and not outside. what is your reaction? >> the leadership lesson is that we can win elections based upon conservative principles in this includes a tremendous amount of courage. she never wavered from her conservative belief that she didn't believe in a consensus or giving ground to the left. and that is her opponents. she was a fearsome individual and figure he took on the left and she defeated the left and she made a great nation better and this is a huge achievement. lou: one of my favorite things is which she would take on all individuals and destroy them with her arguments and her logic and her player and her command of languages. she was just magnificent. i don't know what would happen if president obama walked into a room and had to engage that way

politician and businessman who served as a key foreign policy adviser to british prime minister margaret thatcher back in one thousand nine hundred eighty s. it's great to have you with us today so going to start with the latest news a new royal charter on press regulation has been introduced in britain most newspaper publishers in the u.k. see these as an attempt to control them and believe it's better for journalism for freedom of press and for the public what do you make of it. well you raise a very difficult topic that is quite clear that some of our board don't market popular newspapers to be breaking the rules for many years by bribing people to give them information by intercepting to the phone calls of many other things like that and there are some criminal trials for progress at the moment and they will decide whether people are guilty or not but it's quite clear that some of the bits of our press got completely out of have and only other hand there is a very strong resistance in this country to anything which is like government control of the media and so a device has been found which i

margaret thatcher it is there is no alternative. of course that's absurd. there was an alternative. we have to connect the dots to understand what is going on today. i read the chronicle. so what i've done is put together a montage of the murder of public sector, which is going on everyday. in fact all of the public sector is in body shape. public libraries, parks from the municipal to the national level. our character is among the worst in the world. the new deal deals with things in a different way. when i was going to school, california school's were the best. now they are among the worst with the new budget cuts. of course, my university is being privatized. all of the higher education is being privatized. all through the uc system. how do you run a modern state with tax cuts? we resort to desperate, back last november, we were asked to vote to make four indian casinos in san diego county pony up money. i thought this was a joke. they voted to do it. now, the governor proposes to borrow against future revenues. how did they deal with these social problems when the economic probl

but thatcher said something else that's particularly interesting in this discussion. she said there's no such thing as society. there are only individuals and families. and so what we begin to see is the emergence of a kind of ethic, a survival of the fittest ethic, that legitimates the most incredible forms of cruelty, that seems to suggest that freedom in this discourse of getting rid of society, getting rid of the social, that discourse is really only about self-interest. that possessive individualism is now the only virtue that matters. so freedom, which is essential to any notion of democracy, now becomes nothing more than a matter of pursuing your own self-interests. no society can survive under those conditions. >> so what is society? when you use it as an antithesis to what margaret thatcher said, what do you have in mind? what's the metaphor for -- >> i have in mind a society in which the wealth is shared, in which there is a mesh of organizations that are grounded in the social contract, that takes seriously the mutual obligations that people have to each ot

alan moore's v for vendetta which was the criticism of margaret thatcher. when you talk to alan moore about that, he is somewhat ambivalent. so as the artist, all you can do is make your intentions plain, and after that, realize the finished product is ultimately kind of out of your hands. >> what role buzz cultural diplomacy have in recognizing security roles. >> well, while it's true that a lot of american cull shapes the internet, it is quite independent, and the more we can encourage people to shape it in the way that no one really controls, i think it lets a lot of air out of the grievances that people have when they don't feel like they are being heard. >> cynthia, do you think that the national security objectives of the united states has hijacked cultural diplomacy from its end? >> i think that's a problem, and i think to come back to our earlier discussion, spencer if you'll forgive me, i think you are asking the wrong question. the question is not how could an egypt you know version of jon stewart advance national interest? but what are those nati

there about this critical time for the and the unique parallel activity of ronald reagan, margaret thatcher, and he holy see. it is a recent highlight of holy see the nomadic activity, culminating with a quote from which says, everything that happened in eastern europe would have been impossible without the pope. john paul went to poland in 1979 and wanted to go to the shipyard. the man said no. he said, i'm going to leave and make an international incident. solidarity,enthused and the rest is history. he went back if you years later saidfew years later and poland is one great big concentration cap -- camp. the uniques to stature of the holy see is a soft power player without a territorial agenda, and not needing to take credit for what they do. there's is no doubt that john paul played a huge role in the ending of communism. i hope you enjoy that part of the book. host: robert is on the democrats' line in brooklyn, new york. the ambassador made reference to an erroneous connection between religion and morality. have number of studies shown that atheists are ms. -- underrepresented in the p

pope john paul ii corporated margaret thatcher and ronald reagan. he did it behind the scenes. . the holy sea has taken positions that influenced american policies in other ways. most recently when president obama seemed to go to war with syria, the pope had a day of prayer to stop that and guess what, we're not at war with syria. according to the magazine, the n.s.a. has been categorizing the vatican's communication into four different categories. i want to take a look at them. there's leadership intentions, what they call leadership intentions, foreign policy objectives, human rights and then threats of the financial system. i find the last one to the financial system. what threats to the financial system does the vatican pose? >> that's a bit of a head scratcher because it doesn't have a particularly large amount of economic clout. occasionally they make comments about policy suggestion for how to help the world economy and how to help the world develop particularly in the developing world but it doesn't wield a lot of financial power. it isn't that big financially. it does ha

[applause] british minister margaret thatcher said it best when she said the world have never ceased to be dangerous but the west had ceased to be vigilant. america needs to restore character. while it may be substantially less than the places, america does have a character problem that must be arrested. it was dwight d. eisenhower that said the spirit of man is more important than the physical strength. and the spiritual fiber of the nation than its wealth. always the number of alexis de tocqueville america is great because america is good. if she ceases to be good, she will cease to be great. [applause] on the subject of character, i urge americans to understand and defend the sanctity of human life or conception until natural death. [applause] guard your christianity closely. it is behind everything great about america whether it is enabling charitable work or optimism. the more christianity eroded in europe, the poorer, less powerful, the weaker and less influential but became. john adams wasn't joking when he said that the constitution was designed for a religious and moral peop

margaret thatcher they know. this is something that -- that's an issue that young women in my generation are very concerned about. when it comes down to food, water, places to live, things like that i really just say that they have no idea what it's like in some of these other countries is all. >> i would argue awareness is the first step. you can't get in to deep policy you can't deal with it in a flat way. until you actually know that the problem is there. i think that is the beauty of this campaign and i think what's really interesting and very telling about a lot of -- again generationally but even in the country, for example, milala youngest woman ever for nobel prize. having her on that international stage to to point to the lack of education for women in pakistan and middle east was extremely powerful. i think, you know, all the debate on cheryl sandberg and the fact that she was a woman who was willing to stand up start talking about it. we need more women of color and women of other experiences and backg

clubs were banned for five years from competing in europe tough measures were introduced by margaret thatcher who guns could be sent to jail or banned from attending games and you could say the situation in england became a lot calmer for manchester united when you're under it can chelsea has played in england him across eastern europe but he believes russia same age could be irreversibly tunney actually isn't taken well before the world cup you need so much so more concentration more security. the day before the game and. during the game and after the game this in the bottom time. to support him because he would play in the champions world cup and here in moscow and normal. part of walk and walk already saw more concentration camp i'm organisation and while individual fans are getting away with bad behavior in the five clubs are suffering financially we've got vicious we have lost one point four million dollars from having to play too much is behind closed doors we're doing all we can to try and catch those who are guilty of bringing it up on or into the stadium and we want to see them punis

the cold war and bringing down the soviet bloc pope john paul the second cooperated with margaret thatcher and ronald reagan to do that he did it in a behind the scenes way but that was an important incident of cooperation the holy see has also taken positions that have influenced american policy in other ways most recently when president obama seemed intent on going to war with syria the current pope pope francis organized a world day of prayer to stop that and guess what and we're not on war with syria. absolutely well according to the magazine the n.s.a. has been categorizing the vatican's communication into four different categories i want to take a look at them there's leadership intentions with a colleague or ship intentions foreign policy objectives human rights and then threats of the financial system now i find the last one the most interesting what threats to the financial system does the vatican pose or might might oppose well that one's a bit of a head scratcher for me because the holy see doesn't have a particularly large amount of economic clout kasia only the holy see will m
