not really. you haven't faced the reality of the situation

1) On Labour's watch - the Argentinians were firmly told it was not a good idea to invade the Falklands

2) On Thatchers watch, they got the impression they could get away with it. So they did.

You don't address that incontravertible fact, except with bluster and bullshit and childish abuse from tory tabloids (Sunny Jim 'Crisis what crisis...'). Its a childish level of debate and I'm getting sick of it. Coupled with total bloody nonsense - the majority of people in the Republic of Ireland don't want a united Ireland.....oh yeh. try saying that down the Irish centre.

Terribus - you are living in an alternative universe mate. Join up for crissake.

Thatcher thoroughly fucked up everything. The main thing being her own party, which she filled with toadies and time servers.

I AM NOT a fellow traveller. My family has fought for this country, and worked honestly in it and for it. Some of them have served as Tory councillors - but even those hated bloody Thatcher. Just what is writing these licences in your head to abuse people? Whatever it is - its something not too healthy.
