[woman] two of the small beef, mr. Roberts. [alfred] what is the life blood of any community . Its business. Not just big business, but small businesses, like mine. Margaret cups [alfred] we on this island are strong. Were selfreliant. Sometimes, were plain bloodyminded. But we also believe in helping each other. And i dont mean by state handouts. [girl 1] margaret, do you want to come to the pictures . [girl 2] shes not coming out, shes got to study. Miss hoity toity [laughing] [alfred] never run with the crowd, margaret. Go your own way. [echoing] go your own way. [girls laughing] [alfred] never run with the crowd. Open it then. Ive got a place at oxford. [sobbing] dont let me down, margaret. Mother my hands are still damp. Margaret roberts. Oh tea. Margaret cups [indistinct chatter] [laughter] [denis] theyre talking about you again. Wha. What time is it . Suns not quite over the yard arm. Its time for tea. [phone rings] [sighs] look, margaret. What have you got on your head . Found it in the cupboard, and thought, bugger it, its friday, why not fancy dress . [margaret] you look ridiculous. [foreign accent] boss lady no like . No, denis, boss lady no like. [indistinct whispering] no, no, no. Its going fine. But its taken carol eight years to persuade her to participate. Feet [woman] well, its her pills. You can never be sure shes taking them. I think sometimes she hides them. [denis] oh, rumbled [woman] they give her about an hours clarity, then she slips again. [carol] can i suggest you remove the sticker from the back of your car . [man] sorry. [carol] well then, take the sticker off i call that false advertising, wouldnt you . [man] ive got another. I would say keep the change, but there isnt any change. [carol] hello, june. Any news . I brought every single bag i could find. [man on tv] he gave a speech recently, trying to come up with a broad base. Hello, ma. Bloody taxi driver wouldnt take my card. I said dont have a sticker saying you take visa and then insist on cash. Oh can you believe it . Rummaging around the bottom of my bag. He didnt get a tip. I didnt know that you were dropping by today, dear. Yes, you said yesterday, you were going to start on dads things, in the cupboards, and then i was going to help you dress. Youve got michael and. Jacqueline. Coming for dinner tonight. Yes, of course. Were having halibut. [man on tv] this is a major catastrophe that has struck our capital. As you can see. Isnt it terrible . They think its alqaeda. [man on tv]. And the firebrigade are trying to get all the people out of the building. The Prime Minister and his senior staff were due to be staying at the hotel, but checked out earlier. [margaret] denis itll be fine. Come get your head down. Its ten to three, for gods sake. [margaret] denis [man] at ten to three this morning, an explosion extensively damaged the grand hotel in brighton. [man 2] brighton, scene of the conservative party conference. [man 3]. Which the Prime Minister and a number of her cabinet were staying. They escaped unhurt, but its reported that. [man 2] five people have died, many others are injured, some critically. [man 4] the ira have claimed responsibility. We must release a statement, offering our condolences. Im sure theyve already. We must never, ever, ever give in to terrorists. Is it warm in here . I hear you went out today. You mustnt go out on your own, mummy. Weve talked about that. There was no milk. Call robert, hell get it for you if junes not up. I am not for the knackers yet. [denis] now, take it easy, margaret. No ones saying that. If i cant go out to buy a pint of milk, what is the world coming to . Really, carol. Please dont fuss about it. Youve always been like this, fuss, fuss, fuss. You must find Something Better to do with your time. Its most unattractive in a woman. When i was your age, the last thing i wanted to do was fuss around my mother. Four down, nine letters. Something b, something t, something n. Something, something, something. Refusal to change course. Obstinate. [laughs] [carol] what . [denis] i knew youd get it. Ob. Ill wear the pearls. Ill wear the pearls. [indistinct chatter] [man] ah, miss roberts. Hoping to be chosen as our candidate for parliament. Well, i dont like coalitions, i never have. [indistinct chatter] [conversation fades] start on the outside, work your way in. [man] attlee has his sights set on the steel industry, you mark my words. [man 2] theyll be nationalizing the bloody air next. Yes, hold your breath, sir. Thats Government Property dreadful. Was your father a political man, too, miss roberts . Oh, yes, to his core. And mayor of grantham. And a grocer as well. [margaret] yes. And did you help. In the. Shop. Oh, yes. It was a family business. A very good starting point for the political life, im sure. That, and a degree from oxford. [conversation fades in] no, dont. Whiskey. [indistinct chatter] [margaret] so what i do think is that a man should be encouraged to stand on his own two feet. Yes, we help people. Of course we help people. But for those that can do, they must just get up and do. And if somethings wrong, they shouldnt just whine about it, they should get in there and do something about it, change things. With all due respect, miss roberts, what may have served in grantham. Can serve very well for the people of dartford, too. Really . [margaret] i know much more than those who have never lived on a limited income. Just like the man or woman in the street, when i am short one week, i have to make economies the next. Nothing like a slice of fiscal responsibility. [margaret] a man might call it fiscal responsibility, a woman might call it good housekeeping. Im not sure a Home Economics lesson is quite what the dartford constituents need. They see industry being nationalized, the unions on the up, the pound on the slide. Whoever can sort that lot out, hes my man. Or woman . [laughs] ladies, shall we . [man] miss roberts, do join the ladies. [man] well. Thats told us [laughter] so, margaret, how would you have dealt with this if youd been Prime Minister . Where . [carol] the bombings, mummy. Today. We were just talking about them. No. Yes. We have always lived alongside evil. But it has never been so patient, so avid for carnage, so eager to carry innocents along with it into oblivion. Hear, hear. [murmuring] western civilization must root out this evil, wherever it hides, or she risks defeat at the hands of global terror in a nuclear age. Unimaginable. The Prime Minister made a very good statement, i thought. Yes. Clever man. Quite a smoothie. [laughter] chrit can happen to anyone. S a help is within reach. All you need to do is ask. Vanessa i was a fullblown heroin addict, selling my soul to get high. But i got help, and you can too. James i just know i didnt want to feel that pain anymore. I got help. You can too. Aj most people think addicts are beyond help. When i see an addict, i see hope. Chris christie dont suffer. Dont wait. Call 844 reach nj or visit reachnj. Gov. You dont mind if i sit down. No, no. I heard you speak at the conference in brighton in 1984, just after the ira bombed the grand hotel. You were remarkable. I hope you appreciate what an inspiration youve been to women like myself. Well, it used to be about trying to do something. Now, its about trying to be someone. Mm. Anyway, i. Thank you. Good night, lady thatcher. Good night to you. [indistinct chatter] do the clasp. I cant quite. Yes. You have an eyelash. Oh . Make a wish. [chuckles] [laughs] oh, i spoke to dr. Michael today. Hes very good. Very expensive. I know youre not due to see him for another month, but ive spoken to him and he can fit you in tomorrow. Just for a checkup. Ma, please. What does mark think about it . Mark . Mm. Tell him to come up. I want to talk to him about this. Marks with sarah and the children. Well, tell him to come up and see me after hes kissed them good night, would you, carol, darling . Hes not here, mummy. Mark lives in south africa. And youre not Prime Minister anymore. And dad is, uh. Dad is dead. You look exhausted, dear. You really must try to get some sleep. [clears throat] taxis will be few and far between at this hour. Rightyho. Nightnight, ma. Sleep well. Good night, dear. [opera fades in] [man] twentyfouryearold miss Margaret Roberts lost her bid to win a seat in parliament today, but she has put new life into the dartford conservative association. Winning candidate mr. Dodds had better watch out, this bright young woman is on his tail. [laughs] eat oh disaster hang on, hang on. Hang on. You shaved thousands off their majority. You did splendidly. Not splendidly enough. Ah, i see. Self pity. No ones saying you dont need a safe seat. You deserve a safe seat. But it does not come unless you learn to play the game a little. What game . Youre a grocers daughter. And proud of being. And in their eyes. A single grocers daughter. But if you were to become the wife of a moderately successful businessman, youd get to parliament. And id get to be the happiest man in. Wherever they select you. Margaret, will you marry me . [breath trembling] well . Yes. Yes what . [margaret] i love you so much, but. I will never be one of those women, denis, who stays silent and pretty on the arm of her husband. Or remote and alone in the kitchen, doing the washing up, for that matter. [denis] well get a help for that. No. Ones life must matter, denis. Beyond all the cooking and the cleaning and the children, ones life must mean more than that. I cannot die washing up a tea cup. I mean it, denis. Say you understand. Thats why i want to marry you, my dear. Oh [sobs] [laughs] now, eat. [ shall we dance] shall we dance . On a bright cloud of music shall we fly . Shall we dance . Shall we then say good night and mean goodbye . Or perchance when the last little star has left the sky shall we still be together with our arms around each other . And shall you be my new romance . [laughing] [music fades] oh oh. There they are, my little twins. [seagulls crying] [margaret] oh. Mark. [denis] cornwall, wasnt it . Bloody hell. [margaret laughs] [denis] look at em, little imps. [margaret laughs] you look happy. Yes, i do, dont i . Youre drinking too much. Whatcha doing . Not like you, looking back. Dont want to dig around too deep, m, dont know what you might find. You can rewind it, but you cant change it. [boy laughing] [moaning] [man] mr. Eric deakins, labor, 13,437. Mr. Ivan spence, liberal, 12,260. [shouting] we won mrs. Margaret thatcher, conservative, 29,697. I can now announce the new member of parliament from finchley, 1959. Come along, please [man]. Mrs. Margaret thatcher. [children shouting] please mummy, dont go [engine starts] [children shouting] you promised hey mummy wait, mummy [indistinct chatter] [silence] no. [indistinct chatter] [man] mrs. Thatcher. Excuse me. Sorry. Mrs. Thatcher, airey neave. Welcome to the madhouse. Follow me. [man] the honorable lady, the member of parliament, from finchley. [shouting] order the right honorable lady, the secretary of state for education. [shouting] thank you, mr. Speaker. The right honorable gentleman knows very well that we have no choice but to close the schools. [shouting] shame disgrace because his union paymasters have called a strike deliberately to cripple our economy. [shouting] rubbish teachers cannot teach when there is no heating, no lighting in their classrooms. And i ask the right honorable gentleman, whose fault is that . [shouting] yours methinks the right honorable lady doth screech too much. [laughter] and if she wants us to take her seriously, she must learn to calm down [laughter] very good if the right honorable gentleman could perhaps attend more closely to what i am saying, rather than how i am saying it, he may receive a valuable education in spite of himself [laughter, murmuring] why has. Why has this conservative government failed . [shouting] it hasnt failed. Minister, the breakdown in essential public services, is not the fault of the trade unions. Its entirely their fault. But of this conservative government in which you so shamefully serve [shouting] [indistinct chatter] fios is not cable. Were a 100 fiber optic network.

I dont know about you gus, but i think a foul balls coming our way. Im ready crack of the bat, crowd cheers whoa almost had it maybe next time. What about this time . Pay me the new scratchoff from the pennsylvania lottery. With top prizes of 100 grand thats some catch giggles crowd cheers keep on scratchin unless we can reach a compromise. The miners are asking for a 35 percent increase in wages. Obviously, we cant go anywhere near that. The unions are not our enemies and never have been. We want, and have always wanted, the broadest consensus. [all] hear, hear. Im sure we are all in agreement that we must do nothing for the moment that will further inflame the current situation. Hear, hear, Prime Minister. The fact of the matter is, its absolutely crucial that we are seen by the public to be acting as conciliators and not aggressors. Hear, hear. [all murmur] yes, education secretary. Yes. Prime minister, with the miners union leader today calling for the army to mutiny in support of the strikes, this seems the wrong time for conciliation. [all groaning] [Prime Minister] be patient. Theyll come back on again in a moment. [man] anybody got a shilling . [man 2] ah, boy scout. Be prepared. Thank you, margaret. Oh it lives. Your thoughts are duly noted. [man] compromise, compromise, compromise. [man] we on this island are strong. Were selfreliant. Napoleon called us a nation of shopkeepers. He meant it as an insult, but to me its a compliment. Thats why he couldnt beat us, thats why hitler cant beat us. We conservatives believe in giving people the freedom and opportunity to fulfill their own potential, especially the young. Theres no good in pretending were all equal, were not all the same, never have been, never will be. We should encourage our children to aspire to achieve more than we have, for our children today will be the leaders of tomorrow. [applause] [man on radio] its 1974, youd think it was world war ii. Blackouts, no petrol. Its a mess. Heath should resign now and make way for someone whos not afraid to tackle the unions. [carol] i swear, its all gone completely out of my head. My driving instructor says i should pass, but i feel as if ive hardly had any lessons. [indistinct] maybe third time lucky. The only thing you should remember is that everyone else is either reckless or inept. Usually both. One must be brave if one is to take the wheel. Move to your right a little bit. Well, hes in the way move to the right [carol screams] [tires screech] hey look out so sorry terribly sorry [laughing] [carol] hey, look at me, driving thanks, ma, that was terrific i really feel like ive got a handle on it now. You should have seen us, pa. Are you trying to cook your own breakfast . Denis i can boil a bloody egg. Mummy took me for a test drive. We went absolutely everywhere. All over the place. Yeah . Ive decided. Im going to run. What for . Im going to run for leader of the party. Silly me good luck [carol] all the time i thought i was having a driving lesson, it was all about my mother, just for a change whats she on about . [denis] its her driving test this morning oh, right. Of course. Are you saying you want to be Prime Minister . Oh what im saying is that someone must force the point, someone must say the unsayable. None of these men have the guts. [bell rings] the Prime Minister has been very loyal to you, mt. But hes weak, and hes weakened the party. One must know when to go. Youre shaking. Here, let me. I can do it goodness me what is the matter with everyone this morning . Ive told you what the matter is. The business is a bit rocky at the moment and the doctor says i need a rest. Do you need a rest . Oh, god. We both know its highly unlikely that i would ever be elected leader. Ill never be elected leader. But i will run. I will run. Just to nip at their heels and make them reaffirm the principles on which the conservative party must stand. [toaster pops] theres so much to do. Youre insufferable, margaret, do you know that . Denis, you married someone who is committed to public service, you knew that. And it is my duty. Dont call it duty. It is my duty. [denis] its ambition thats gotten you this far. Ambition. And the rest of us, me, the children, we can all go to hell [man] i understand, you recently visited the United States of america. Yeah we in Great Britain and in europe are formed mostly by our history. They, on the other hand, are formed by their philosophy. Not by what has been, but by what can be. Well. Uh. For a start, that hat has got to go. And the pearls. You look and sound like a privileged conservative wife, and weve already got her vote. But the main thing is your voice. Its too high, and it has no authority. Methinks the lady doth screech too much. Its all very well to talk about changing my voice, mr. Reece, but for some of my colleagues to imagine me as their leader. Would be like imagining, i dont know, being led into battle by their chambermaid. Its my background, and my sex. No matter how ive tried, and i have tried, to fit in, i know i will never be truly one of them. If i may say so, i think thats your trump card. Youre flying in the face of everything the tories have been thus far. Its really terribly exciting. One simply has to maximize your appeal, bring out all your qualities, and make you look, and sound, like the leader that you could be. Youve got it in you to go the whole distance. Absolutely. What. Prime minister . Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no. In britain . There will be no female Prime Minister here, not in my lifetime. No. Respectfully, margaret, i disagree. If you want to change this party, lead it. If you want to change the country, lead it. What were talking about here today is surface. Whats crucial is that you hold your course, and stay true to who you are. Never be anything other than yourself. Leave us to do the rest. Gentlemen, i am in your hands. I may be persuaded to surrender the hat. But the pearls were a gift from my husband on the birth of our twins, and, um, they are absolutely nonnegotiable. And up. Oh oh [both vocalizing] because this isnt really about the voice, its about belief. The very core. So a nice deep breath [indistinct]. If youre calling mr. Thatcher, how would you do that . Denis. Yes, i want authority. I want conviction, i want. Denis. Thats right, one more time, and breathing in. And. Denis. Yes, m sorry. No, no, no. [margaret] you are the backbone of our nation small firms like lovedays ice cream. So nice to meet you, ladies. Nice to meet you. Ill just have a small one, because im watching my figure. Whoo the trade Union Movement was founded to protect workers. Now it persecutes them. It stops them from working. It is killing jobs and it is bringing this country to its knees. I say enough. Its time to get up. Its time to go to work. Its time to put the great back into Great Britain [man] the incompetence of the labour government. Mm. [man]. Continue to misinform and spend in this incessant and blase manner. Mah. [man] we have paid the price. Mrs. Thatcher, theyre ready for you. Thank you. Give em hell. [applause] you look magnificent. Next stop, Prime Minister. Oh, airey. Lets go. [man] the new leader of the conservative party, Margaret Thatcher [cheering and applause] [applause fades] [sniffles] hm. [airey] good night, margaret. Oh. My moneys on the filly to win. [laughs] oh. Thanks, airey. Good night. [explosion] no no, no no airey airey [man] the Irish NationalLiberation Army has claimed responsibility for the death of mp airey neave, Margaret Thatchers spokesman on northern ireland. [airey] if you want to change the party, lead it. If you want to change the country, lead it. Youve got it in you to go the whole distance. Oo, yeah. Are you ready for a rush . Yes, yes i am. Youre in for a treat. Fast play is the new way to play fast and win instantly from the pennsylvania lottery. Pick a game, get your ticket and see if youve won. I won pretty fast, huh . Fast play. Play fast. Win instantly. Now, as the test draws near, i ask your help. [applause] that together we can shake off the shackles of socialism and restore to greatness this country that we love. And the only way is for the conservative party to win [applause] [man] is she gonna get there . Watch those blocks rise. Go, maggie [ ] [woman] its friday the 4th of may, a historic day for britain, a conservative government led by mrs. Thatcher is set to lead. [man] mrs. Bandaranaike in sri lanka, mrs. Gandhi in india, but never in the west has there been a woman Prime Minister. [man 2] the place that she has now secured in british history, as the first woman ever to be invited to form a government. The bonus of one of the most famous addresses in the world, number 10, downing street. [denis] this is it. Steady the buffs, old girl. [man 1] good afternoon. [man 2] congratulations, Prime Minister. [cheering] [margaret] i should just like to say that i take very seriously the trust placed in me by the british people today, and i will work hard every day to live up to that responsibility. And now, i should like to share with you a prayer of st. Francis of assisi where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there is despair, may we bring hope. [ ] [man] three, two, one. [denis] just let them look under the bonnet, mt. Make sure everything is hunky dory. Oh, really, this is becoming quite tiresome. What is . You. I was on my own for 24 years before i met you and i can manage perfectly well without you now. So will you please go away, and stop bothering me . [man] just look straight ahead, straight at me, thats it. Are you noticing night sweats . No. Hallucinations . No. We just want to keep abreast of it, thats all. Yes. Of course. Grief is a very natural state. My husband has been gone for years. Cancer. Carol says youve decided to let his things go. Probably a good thing. Yes. It was my idea. To oxfam. Perfectly good stuff. People can use these things. Hm. Still, it must be a bit disorientating. You are bound to be feeling. What . What am i bound to be feeling . People dont think anymore. They feel. How are you feeling . Oh, i dont feel comfortable. Oh, im so sorry, we, the group were feeling. [clears throat] do you know, one of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas . Now, thoughts and ideas, that interests me. Ask me what i am thinking. What are you thinking, margaret . Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. What we think, we become. My father always said that. And i think i am fine. [denis] you really gave it to that quack, didnt you, darling . Just like the old days. Hallucinations, my eye how dare he . But then, you give us all the runaround, dont you . I know you can hear me, sweetheart, so theres no use pretending you cant. Enough. Denis, enough dismissed [sighs] she does it in the end. Kills him. I dont know why youre being so scratchy. Its not as if youve got anyone else to talk to. [margaret] when the himalayan peasant meets the hebear in his pride its a marvel to me that you can still quote whole chunks of kipling. But try remembering the name of that woman who just made you that godawful cold collation. No . Come on, you can do it. Month of the year. One syllable. Rhymes with moon. June. June bingo knew youd get there in the end. When the himalayan peasant meets the hebear in his pride, he shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside. [tv turns on] but the shebear, thus accosted, rends the peasant tooth and nail, for the female of the species is more deadly than the male. [classical music plays] when nag, the basking cobra, hears the careless foot of man. [whirring] [denis continues, indistinct] [whirring] [radio plays] [whirring loudly] if i cant hear you, i cant see you. If i cant see you, youre not here. And if you are not here, i am not going mad. I will not go mad. [echoing] i wont go mad. I will not go mad. I will not go mad. I will not. [man] baroness thatcher made an apparently routine visit to her doctors today. Although rarely seen in public, britains longest serving Prime Minister of the 20th century, remains a controversial figure. Almost lovingly dubbed by the soviets the iron lady, shes credited, with her friend ronald reagan, with a decisive role in the ending of the cold war. Margaret. Her supporters claim she transformed the british economy and reversed the countrys postwar decline. Im so sorry. Her detractors blame her savage public spending cuts and sweeping privatization of [music plays] [bells tolling] [music turns off] i. Dont recognize myself. Hm. [denis] am i out of the doghouse yet . Oh. Theyre unveiling that portrait of me at number 10 next month. Oh. Yes, its the invitation thats on the mantelpiece. So itll be churchill, lloyd george and me. Hmm. Just the three of us. [chuckles] i said i didnt want any big fuss, but they insisted. Lovely little article in the telegraph. The woman who changed the face of history. Huh. [man] less than two years ago, the Prime Minister quoted st. Francis. [laughter] yes, and talked about bringing faith, hope and harmony to this country. [laughter] mm. Denis . [continued shouting] can the right honorable lady deny that having brought about the highest level of unemployment since 1934. [murmuring]. The biggest fall in total output in steel and Coal Production in one year since 1931. [shouting] order order can she also accept that her free market economics, designed to create a growing middle class, ensures that the rich get richer and the poor are irrelevant . [all] out, out, out maggie, maggie, maggie out, out, out look at me youre supposed to be a mother youre not a mother, youre a monster youre a monster [man] may we have a word, Prime Minister . Yes, but in order to arrive at the palace on time, geoffrey and i will be walking out of that door in 15 minutes. As you can see. I know youre running late, margaret, but we have to address this situation in the light of tomorrows blistering press coverage. Blistering the knives are out. Your draft budget has been leaked, geoffrey. They are baying for our blood michael, we cant possibly buckle at the first sign of difficulty. No one is saying we have to buckle. But is this really the time to be making these spending cuts in the middle of one of the deepest recessions this country has ever experienced . We need a plan of action, margaret. Absolutely. A strategy. We must be armed. Agreed. Theres a perception, margaret, rightly or wrongly, that we are now completely out of touch with the country. Really. How much is a pack of lurpak . Lurpak . [margaret] butter, francis. Fortytwo pence. Anchor butter is 40 pence. Flora margarine, still the cheapest, at 38p. I can assure you i am not out of touch. Grocers daughter. [laughs] [laughing] sorry. I didnt hear you. What did you say . Nothing, Prime Minister. Nothing. No, no, please, dont try to hide you opinions. Goodness me, id much rather you were open and straightforward about them, instead of continuously and damagingly leaking them to the press. Well . Well, people cant pay their mortgages. The Manufacturing Industry is practically on its knees. Honest, hardworking, decent people are losing their homes. Its terribly shameful. The point is, Prime Minister, we must moderate the pace. If we even to have a hope of winning the next election. [margaret] ah. Worried about our careers, are we . Really. Thats quite absurd. [margaret] gentlemen, if we dont cut spending, we will be bankrupt. Yes, the medicine is harsh, but the patient requires it in order to live. Should we withhold the medicine . No we are not wrong. We did not seek election and win in order to manage the decline of a great nation. The people of this country chose us because they believe we can restore the health of the british economy, and we will do just that barring a failure of nerve. Anything else . Prime minister. Prime minister. You have saved the day once again, crawfie. Youre an angel. You cant just close down a conversation because its not what you wish to hear. Oh, geoffrey, i dont expect everyone to just sit there and agree with me. But what kind of leader am i if i dont try to get my own way, do what i know to be right . Yes. But margaret. One must be careful not to test ones colleagues loyalties too far. [radio static] [shouting] [man] we are now one split nation, with a huge gulf dividing the employed from the unemployed. [woman] the miners are being starved back to work, the need is desperate [whistle blowing] [margaret] there are those who would say hold back, there are those who would make us retreat. But we shall never give in to them. We shall never waver, not for a second, in our determination to see this country prosper once again. [chanting] [woman] a car bomb has exploded outside Harrods Department store, killing six people and injuring 71. [man] eleven soldiers died today when two bombs were detonated during military parades in hyde park and regents park. [man 2] the ira have claimed responsibility. [gunfire] [applause] and now, it must be business as usual. [denis] come on, love, come to bed. I dont know why you do this to yourself every year. Its a speech at conference, not the magna carta. Time to call it a day, darling. Ten to three, for gods sake. Oh, i know, im coming, dt. Come on. Nearly there. [margaret] denis denis [coughing] oh, there you are. Are you all right . [coughing] my shoes [margaret] thats when i thought id lost you. [phone rings] [moans] mark . Hello, darling. Oh. No. No, im fine. I. Im very well. How. How is, uh. Sarah . Yes, and the children . Oh. Oh, you cant. Thats a pity. [music plays faintly] that was mark. Not able to come. [denis] boys always going awol. Well, it costs him a great deal to fly everyone up here. [denis] there you go, making excuses for him. Now look where its got you. A snifter . Youre dead, denis. Ah. Well, if im dead, who are you talking to . Shall we dance . [music continues] [margaret giggling] oh [chuckles] [denis laughs] [muffled explosions] [man] the Falkland Islands, the british colony in the south atlantic, has fallen. Argentina claims its marines went ashore as a spearhead this morning to capture key targets, including the capital, port stanley. Gentlemen, the argentinean junta, which is a fascist gang, has invaded our sovereign territory. This cannot be tolerated. May i make plain my negotiating position. I will not negotiate with criminals or thugs. The Falkland Islands belong to britain, and i want them back. [margaret] the government has now decided that a large task force will sail, as soon as all preparations are complete. [men murmuring] [man] the u. S. Secretary of state has arrived, Prime Minister. [man] so you are proposing to go to war over these islands. Theyre thousands of miles away, a handful of citizens, politically and economically insignificant, if youll excuse me. Just like hawaii. I imagine. Im sorry . 1941. When japan attacked pearl harbor. Did america go, cap in hand, and ask tojo for a peaceful negotiation of terms . Did she turn her back on her own citizens there because the islands were thousands of miles away from the mainland United States . No, no, no we will stand on principle, or we will not stand at all. But margaret, with all due respect, when one has been to war. With all due respect, sir, i have done battle every single day of my life, and many men have underestimated me before. This lot seem bound to do the same, but they will rue the day. Now, shall i be mother . Tea, al, how do you take your tea . Black or white . At ikea, we believe that everything you need should be within reach. That anything that matches your taste can match your budget. That green living doesnt have to cost much green. We believe that you should always have room for the little things. And that your dream kitchen should work as hard as you do. Save up to 15 at the ikea kitchen event. Perfect dasure is. Game huh . I dont know about you gus, but i think a foul balls coming our way. Im ready crack of the bat, crowd cheers whoa almost had it maybe next time. What about this time . Pay me the new scratchoff from the pennsylvania lottery. With top prizes of 100 grand thats some catch giggles crowd cheers keep on scratchin the argentinean ship the General Belgrano and her escorts are pursuing course 273 degrees towards the argentinean mainland. We are tracking them with our submarine hms conqueror. [margaret] is this ship a threat . [man] both of these ships are carrying exocet missiles, Prime Minister. Just yesterday they launched, then aborted, an attack inside the exclusion zone. There is a risk they could try it again. The belgrano is sailing directly away from the islands. Can it really be regarded as a threat . Shes been changing course continually. Theres a strong possibility that theyll attempt a Pincer Movement on our carrier group. I advise that we engage them, hit the belgrano as a warning to the others. Send them all back to port. Itll play badly internationally. Well be seen as aggressors. This will be an escalation, Prime Minister. If there is to be an escalation, its better that we start it. It is steaming away, Prime Minister. [margaret] sink it. [man] hms sheffield, a type 42 destroyer, was attacked and hit late this afternoon by an argentine missile. It is seen as retaliation for the sinking of the General Belgrano, in which over 300 argentinean. Prime minister. The latest casualty figures from the sheffield. I must write to them. Prime minister . The families. I must write to them. [man] Lieutenant Colonel jones. Captain wood. Captain dench. [margaret] as the only Prime Minister in the history of our country who is also a mother with a son of my own, i can imagine your agony, and your grief. [gunfire] [man 2] shortly after dark last night, our forces surrounding fort stanley carried out what the commander in chief has described as a brilliant surprise night attack. [helicopter flying] [gunfire] [gunfire over radio] [turns radio off] thatcher, bed. [man] from their new positions, our forces can see large numbers of argentine soldiers retreating and streaming back into port stanley. Our forces are moving forward to exploit their success. [cheering] [sobbing] [laughing] well done, margaret. Congratulations. [margaret] we congratulate the men and women of our armed forces for their skill, bravery and loyalty to this country. We were faced with an act of unprovoked aggression, and we responded as we have responded in times past with unity, strength and courage, sure in the knowledge that though much is sacrificed, in the end, right will prevail over wrong. [all] hear, hear this is a day to put differences aside, to hold ones head high and take pride in being british. [all] hear, hear well done, Prime Minister. [uptempo music plays] [blows noise maker] gotcha well, that paid off, old girl your ratings have soared from the most hated Prime Minister of all time to the nations darling. The world at your feet, and britain was back in business [ notsensibles im in love with Margaret Thatcher] im in love with Margaret Thatcher im in love with Margaret Thatcher im in love with maggie t im in love with Margaret Thatcher [man] the berlin wall has fallen. The gates have been opened the police are making no attempt. Im in love with Margaret Thatcher [margaret] i dont agree. I dont agree in any measure [man] but, Prime Minister, the question of the european single currency will come up. I dont think the country is ready for it yet. But we cannot bury our heads in the sand. [man] a lot of conservative mps and ministers are saying that there must be a change in that style of management. That mrs. Thatcher must listen more, and on occasion, give in. [margaret] our policies may be unpopular, but they are the right policies. [man] Prime Minister, i dont think we can ask the poorest of the poor to pay the same amount of tax as a multimillionaire. There you go again why not . [man] because. [man] because people, on the whole, think that the tax is manifestly unfair. Nonsense. Errant nonsense. This is a simple proposition. If you live in this country, you must pay for the privilege. Something, anything. If you pay nothing, you care nothing. What do you care where you throw your rubbish . Your Council Estate is a mess, your town, graffiti, what do you care . Its not your problem, its somebody elses problem. Its the governments problem your problem, some of you, is that you havent got the courage for this fight. You havent had to fight hard for anything. Its all been given to you, and you feel guilty about it. Well, may i say, on behalf of those who have had to fight their way up, and who dont feel guilty about it, we resent those slackers who take, take, take, and contribute nothing to the community. And i see the same thing, the same cowardice in our fight within the european union, cowardice, the sovereignty of britain, the integrity of the pound some of you want to make concessions. Some of you want to make concessions. I hear some of you agree with the latest french proposals. Well, why dont you get on a boat to calais . Hm . Why dont you put on a beret, and pay 85 percent of your income to the french government right. What can we realistically hope to achieve by the end of session, lord president . And why have we not made more progress to date . What is that . Is that the timetable . I havent seen that. It is, Prime Minister. May i see it . Yes, yes, of course. [clears throat] the wording is sloppy here. And here. If you say so. I do say so. Its merely a first draft. [laughs] this is ridiculous. There are two ts in committee. Two ts. Geoffrey, this is shameful. Shameful are you unwell . Yes, you are unwell. Give me your pencil. Give it to me if this is the best you can do, i had better send you to hospital, and i shall do your job as well as my own and everyone elses. Gentlemen, as the lord president has chosen to come to cabinet unprepared, i shall have to close the meeting. [clears throat] good morning. [indistinct muttering] [chanting] cant pay, wont pay cant pay, wont pay cant pay, wont pay cant pay, wont pay [rock music plays] [shouting] geoffrey. My letter of resignation. Our differences, im afraid, cannot be reconciled. [geoffrey] i have done what i believe to be right for my party and my country. The time has come for others to consider their own response to the tragic conflict of loyalties with which i myself have wrestled. Geoffreys speech in the house of commons was devastating. He just couldnt take any more of the bullying. He was almost inviting someone to challenge her for leadership of the party. She behaved appallingly. I wouldnt have spoken to my gamekeeper like that. I dont think she can survive this. Im here to announce my decision to put my name forward as leader of the conservative party. I have nothing but admiration for our Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, but i believe our party and our country need a new leader. [man] its extraordinary. I am the Prime Minister. Make it possible for conservative mps to depose a sitting Prime Minister. Sweetie. He already has open support. As conservative mps gather in westminster to decide who they will back in the leadership contest, the Prime Minister said she would not be diverted from Critical International affairs. Tonight in paris, mrs. Thatcher is among 34 World Leaders who came here to celebrate the end of the cold war and to herald the start of a peaceful new age of east west cooperation. Theres a general feeling that mrs. Thatcher is going to win on the first ballot. Were going to put it to bed tomorrow night, is how one of her Campaign Staff puts it. [denis] m, i think you should come home and defend yourself, old girl. Heseltine is campaigning ferociously. [margaret] i do think my time is best spent seeing an end to the cold war. Dont you . After all this time, they know what i stand for. [woman] mrs. Thatcher has failed to win enough votes to secure an outright win in the leadership contest and must now decide whether to put her name forward for the second round. [man] as mrs. Thatcher leaves paris for london to make a lastditch attempt to pull together support for her leadership, the ship may have sailed. [laughter] [margaret] treachery [man 1] we will never win another election led by that woman. [man 2] we need a leader who listens. [man 3] this isnt about her, its about the party. [man 4] one must know when to go. [man 5] the question is, how does anyone put it to her . Prime minister, i, of course, would vote for you. But i dont think you can win. The loyalty of my colleagues cannot be counted upon. It was the people who put me here. The loyalty of all of my colleagues cannot be counted upon. Its up to them to tell me when to go. Margaret, you cant let them do this to you. Please. Theyll destroy you. Throw in the towel now, love. Dont let them see you humiliated. You just wont win, darling. Not this time. [sniffles] oh, denis. I am the Prime Minister. Health, is having the freedom to do what you want to do with your life, every single day. So at aetna, we promise to keep finding new ways to join you so nothing gets in your way. Because no matter where it is youre going, or whatever stage of life youre in. We believe that when it comes to health. You dont join us. We join you. [margaret] the right honorable gentleman is afraid [man] this is their naked strategy of closing some coal mines and then selling off. [margaret] they believe in striking, i believe in working [man] this is the woman whos watched ten men on Hunger Strike starve themselves to death and never flinched [margaret] despicable and cowardly. [man] cynical falklands war. [man 2] more homeowners, more shareholders, more savings. [man 3] selling to the bankers. [overlapping chatter, shouting] [margaret] yes, yes, yes i offer my resignation after 11 and a half extraordinary years, proud to have left britain in a much better state than when we took office. [opera plays] [margaret] whats this then . A radio. How useful. Steady, mt. [reporters clamoring] [man] mrs. Thatcher [voices fade] [denis] the greatest Prime Minister since churchill deposed by a bunch of spineless pygmies [margaret] all those years of taking the tough decisions. Does any of it matter now . [denis] its all been turned to mush hm . [denis] by these fools these lilylivered pinkos these inept placators. [denis] [laughs] very good these vacillators. Vacillators poll takers. Popularity seekers. [margaret] so busy taking the pulse of the public [denis] weak these weak. [both] weak weak [denis] all of them. Weak men dont they know if you take the tough decisions. Yes, people will hate you today, but theyll thank you for generations. Or forget you entirely and chuck you out with the rubbish. Oh [margaret] all i wanted was to make a difference in the world. [denis] and you did, love, you did. Yes. Oh. [margaret] all i wanted was for my children to grow up well and be happy, happier than i was, certainly. [laughs] i kept all this. [chuckles] oh, yes. [laughs] [margaret] and i wanted you to be happy, of course. Were you happy, denis . Tell me the truth. [upbeat music plays] denis . [indistinct] denis . Denis . Heres your bag. Youre all packed, sorted. Denis, wait. Where are your shoes . You cant go without your shoes not yet. [denis] steady. Yes. Steady. [denis] steady the buffs. Steady the buffs. No. Not yet. Denis wait i dont. I said i dont want you to go yet. Denis please not. Dont. No im not. I dont want to be on my own. [denis] youre going to be fine on your own, love. You always have been. [margaret exhales] denis. [gasping] no, no, no [whimpers] health, is having the freedom to do what you want to do with your life, every single day. So at aetna, we promise to keep finding new ways to join you so nothing gets in your way. Because no matter where it is youre going, or whatever stage of life youre in. We believe that when it comes to health. You dont join us. We join you. [carol] mummy. [groans] good god mum, are you all right . Yes. What have you been doing . [groaning] mummy, you should have called for help, silly old sausage. Have you not even been in your bed properly . Youve done all this . Yes, its all sorted. Finished. Yes, well, dont worry about that. June and i can crack on with it. I was just going to get dressed. Shall i call someone, see if anyone can come and do your hair . No, you do it. [carol] right, im off, june. [indistinct] [june] ok. Bye oh, let me do that, margaret. No, dear, its all right. Ill do it. [june] carol said you might go to the house of lords today . No, no. Im not going anywhere. [children shouting] [birds chirping] [clears throat] [ ] [ ] tonight mistrial. The jury in the bill cosby sex assault case cant reach a decision.
