I did say that that quote fro Big Al in my last post was the most idiotic thing I ever heard - well this other contribution from him comes remarkably close - If this shows your string of logic and your reasoning and you say that you were a teacher, then thank F**K you are nowhere near a classroom now:

Big Al Whittle Date: 21 Nov 11 - 01:38 PM

BTNG had asked me this question:

'so, Teribus, if The Falklands decided they wanted nothing to do with neither Britain or Argentina, you'd fully support their decision to go it alone?

To which I simply answered Yes

Big Al then quotes all of that and comes in with -

"Well naturally - look how sensible and understanding Thatcher was to the Irish, the vast majority of whom wanted the English army to bugger off out of the North of that country."

What is the connection Big Al???

By the bye whilst talking about "vast majorities"

What vast majority are you talking about Big AL?

1: "the vast majority" of the people in the Republic of Ireland at the time couldn't have given a monkey's, and that remains equally true today.

2: "the vast majority" of the people in Northern Ireland at the time wanted to remain within the United Kingdom - hold a referendum there today and you will find that that still remains to be the case.

High time that you started to address reality.

PS Big Al: As a teacher I would have thought that you would have known that no English Army has existed since 1707.
