Цитаты маргарет тэтчер на английском
Обновлено: 21.11.2024
Ма́ргарет Хи́льда Тэ́тчер, бароне́сса Тэ́тчер — премьер-министр Великобритании в 1979—1990 годах, лидер Консервативной партии в 1975—1990 годах, баронесса с 1992 года. Первая женщина, занявшая этот пост, а также первая женщина, ставшая премьер-министром европейского государства. Премьерство Тэтчер стало самым продолжительным в XX веке. Получив прозвище «железная леди» за резкую критику советского руководства, она воплотила в жизнь ряд консервативных мер, ставших частью политики так называемого «тэтчеризма».
Будучи главой правительства, провела политические и экономические реформы для отмены того, что она считала упадком страны. Её политическая философия и экономическая политика основывались на дерегуляции, в особенности финансовой системы, обеспечении гибкого рынка труда, приватизации государственных компаний и уменьшении влияния профсоюзов. Высокая популярность Тэтчер во время первых лет её правления уменьшилась из-за рецессии и высокого уровня безработицы, но снова увеличилась во время Фолклендской войны 1982 года и экономического роста, что привело к её переизбранию в 1983 году.
Тэтчер была переизбрана в третий раз в 1987 году, но предложенный закон о подушном налоге и взгляды на роль Британии в Европейском союзе были непопулярны среди членов её правительства. После того, как Майкл Хезелтайн оспорил её лидерство в партии, Тэтчер была вынуждена подать в отставку с поста главы партии и премьер-министра. Wikipedia

When Margaret Thatcher came to power in 1979, Britain was a dump, “the sick man of Europe” and on the brink of total economic collapse. When she left power in 1990, it was the one of the financial capitals of the world. She is associated with her political philosophy of Thatcherism, based on low taxation, low public spending, free markets and mass privatization. I, personally, love Margaret Thatcher for her honesty, bluntness, strength of character and her radicalism. Many others hate her, though, mainly on the left of politics who believed that she destroyed workers rights and slashed public spending. During her tenure she had to deal with mass unemployment, out of control inflation, endless strikes, a war with the Falklands and an attempted assassination by the IRA. In February 2007, she became the first British Prime Minister to be honoured with a statue in the House of Commons while still alive; a testament to her incredible legacy.

4. My policies are based not on some economics theory, but on things I and millions like me were brought up with: an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay; live within your means; put by a nest egg for a rainy day; pay your bills on time; support the police.
5. Defeat? I do not recognise the meaning of the word.
6. I, personally, have always voted for the death penalty because I believe that people who go out prepared to take the lives of other people forfeit their own right to live. I believe that the death penalty should be used only very rarely, but I believe that no-one should go out certain that no matter how cruel, how vicious, how hideous their murder, they themselves will not suffer the death penalty.
7. Socialists cry “Power to the people”, and raise the clenched fist as they say it. We all know what they really mean—power over people, power to the State.

I’m afraid that’s very selfish. We shall want to tax that away. You want to own shares in your firm? We can’t have that. The state has to own your firm. You want to choose where to send your children to school? That’s very divisive. You’ll send your child where we tell you.”
