In this clip Peter Hitchens' proposes that the principal achievement of Margaret Thatcher was the industrialisation of the country, which led to the closure of numerous factories and a shift away from the UK being a major manufacturing nation.

Hitchens continues to argue that Margaret Thatcher is overrated by conservatives and was not truly a conservative herself, but rather an economic liberal.

Peter Hitchens writes extensively for the press in the UK, he's been a war correspondent, and reported from Moscow towards the end of the USSR's time as a communist country. Peter has written many books, the latest being "A Revolution Betrayed: How Egalitarians Wrecked the British Education System" he is a very sought after commentator in Britain and Beyond.
