She bade us rejoice over the outrageous deaths of hundreds of young men on the General Belgrano


Did she now Steve?? Got any references to back that up??

The "Rejoice" bit by the way was for the recapture of South Georgia

Here is what she said about the Belgrano - in the House of Commons 4th May 1982 -

"We all regret the loss of human life in the South Atlantic, but our first duty is to protect, and to minimise the danger to, our own forces in the South Atlantic, who are there because we all agreed that we should send a task force—— Source: Hansard HC [23/14-18]
