Margaret
Thatcher
Summary:
This
documentary is about how Margaret Thatcher became prime minister. Margaret
Thatcher was the longest serving prime minister. She served for 11 years. At a
younger age her father took her to public meetings, that’s why she developed an
interest in politics. She studied to become a lawyer, but at the age of 33 she
was elected to work in the government. People believed that the government should
help the people from cradle to grave, but Margaret Thatcher wanted to move away
from that idea and spend money on what was really necessary. Thatcher was a politician
of the ‘no nonsense’ type. She wanted to sweep Britain clean of socialism. In
1975 she became leader of her party and in 1979 she became the prime minister.

My opinion:
I haven’t
seen the whole story (just 20 minutes of the first episode), but I really
admire Margaret Thatcher for the way how she became prime minister. She worked
very hard and knew what she wanted. She wasn’t afraid to voice her opinion. It
is not always a good thing, but that took her to where she wanted to be. Even
after her ‘right hand man was killed, she just kept going and stood strong. The
people didn’t love her, but people were curious about her. I hear bad things
about her, but it wasn’t for nothing that she served in the government for 11
years.
