WHEN Thatcher's Legacy Was Destroyed By Glenda Jackson MP

Let's start this examintation into how Thatcher helped usher in decades of worsening mental health issues with a run down of her legacy from dearly departed Glenda Jackson...

[Margaret-pr]

Well said Glenda, we are still suffering because of Thatcher, she's one of the worst things that's happened to our country 😕

[davidpeacock]

Glenda used to be my MP, I never tire of her raking Thatcher down so eloquently. The evil monster is dead but her vindictive legacy still haunts us.

[gordonbradley]

Bang on Glenda. !
Everything tha madwoman privatised uas been a catastrophe ! !

[stantheman]

Thatcher, the witch who protected Saville and even gave him a knighthood

[EightiesMusic]

Glenda Jackson's speech was epic at the time and spoke a truth that still resonates today. We live in Thatcher's Britain in 2025 due to the egregious effects of her policies. I was in Southport my home town today and could not help reflecting that many of the people with obesity, mobility, mental health and other issues clearly evident on the street will both have voted for the Tories ( 'new'Labour failed to reverse Thatcherism) since 1979 and become its victims. Just as the generations after them are due to income inequality in the most unequal country in Europe. The poorest third of the population of eastern Europe is wealthier than their equivalents in Britain. In the sixth richest economy in the world- the money is mostly in the hands of the rich while the victims of a failed economic model suffer. Countless opportunities to reverse the dystopian nightmare Thatcher created have been missed by the voters who have been brainwashed into thinking that moderate democratic socialism is their enemy, allowing the rich to wage class war on the majority.

I remember clapping when thatcher died. It was a bit awkward being the first paramedic on the scene

[johndoherty]

One the the most iconic speeches in Parliamentary history.

Thatchers policies still have great detrimental effect to this day, three major factors, selling much of Britain's infrastructure E.g. Energy. British telecom. British steel. Most railway companies. Obolished credit control " to buy a home was based on one person income" properties spiralled throughout the 1980s, selling council houses aventually created housing shortage which has been detrimental effect over past forty years. Closing coal mines putting many out of work, still effects their communities to this day. Was said by many politicians Thatcher and her government were selling off Britain's silverware which will effectively create problems for future generations. It has!

[chrismonaghan]

Just wonderful. Recognisably a Labour MP unlike the current crop.

[martydav]

Glenda Jackson was the greatest actress of the last sixty years in my view.

[stevebartley]

[markschlogl-nutb]

[graemehobbs]

Glenda ..you hit the nail on Its head !

[blackdogbarking]

Seems to me her message of selfish irresponsibility is alive and well.

[jamesgreaves]

Glenda Jackson a great actress and Labour politician sadly missed, we need the likes of her right now.

[hockeyfanice]

A great speech, pity about the ignorant MPs in the House of Commons who wouldnt shut up while Glenda Jackson was talking.

[billseymour-jones]

Of course, as we all know, all that Maggie really needed was a little Willie...
(Willie Whitelaw - the Deputy PM that is - keep your mind out of the gutter, please!)

[josephhenry]

All Britains ails go back to Thatcherism.Glenda was spot on.

[SheilaBloom.]
