Comments by "Neil Forbes" (@neilforbes416) on "How Margaret Thatcher Became Britain’s Most Hated Prime Minister | The Iron Lady | Timeline" video.
As an indication of how British people thought of her, when she died, her funeral cortege passed through the London streets, as it did so, all the people on the route turned their backs on the cortege. There were no bowed heads to be seen, from all reports. Thatcher was held, quite rightly, in UTTER CONTEMPT!

@carolinebarnes6832 People grew to despise her during that last term as she showed herself to be arrogant and autocratic.

@georgevladimirovich7190 America and Britain are always quick to take credit for events in which they played no actual role, America moreso than Britain. The dissolution of the Soviet State started in Poland with the formation of the first free Trade Union, "Solidarnosc(Solidarity)" led by Lech Wallesa(pardon the guessed spelling). The Pope had nothing at all to do with any part of this movement. And Romania's own people threw off their hated dictator, Nikolai Caicescu(again guessed spelling) and the first the Americans knew of it was when they read it in their morning newspapers.

@kordellswoffer1520 Thatcher was RIGHTLY despised throughout Britain. Good riddance to her.

@annabeljames9759 Poll Tax for one, charging citizens a tax to exercise their basic democratic rights, the right to VOTE at elections. There are other examples I'm sure, but that Poll Tax comes immediately to mind.

4th May, 1979, a black day in British political history! Atilla The Hen becomes Prime Minister. Britain's nightmare has begun.

I would never consider Winston Churchill as Britain's "greatest" Prime Minister. He does NOT deserve that recognition. I don't believe Britain ever really had a truly great Prime minister, but by far the worst-ever was Margaret Thatcher. Australia can claim one truly GREAT Prime Minister in John Curtin, but we also had a PM who was an out-and-out FILTHY TRAITOR by the name of Robert Gordon Menzies! Our near neighbour, New Zealand can claim not one, but TWO GREAT PRIME MINISTERS! They had David Lange and their current PM, Jacinta Ardern.

I noticed this as well. Quite a few times I had to drop the audio from stereo back to mono to improve the sound quality only marginally.
