Sorry - didn't finish (didn't want to miss'Gently' - great!!)
""Thatcher's fascism??" "
Thatcher called a meeting of the Tory Party in defence of a man who had overthrown a legally elected Government, had had the President murdered, rounded up many thousands of young peolpe wo took to the streets in protest, herded them into Santiago Stadium, where they were tortured - the women were raped and thousands of them were 'disappeared' and where fished out to the river in their hundreds.
She described these actions as "democratic" and, it is my belief, had she been given the opportunity, she would have used similar tactics on the people she referred to as "the enemy within" (in Chile, they were referred to as "the mob".
Her efforts helped to prevent Pinochet from being put on trial for mass-murder and human rights abuses.
"Your childish scatter-gun approach "
There is nothing "scatter-gun" about my approach - on the contrary, the evidence I have put up is fairly precise and well- documented - not a personal opinion, as is yours.
What is "pathetic" is your clumsy attempts first to ignore the facts that have been presents, but your present attempts to bluster and shuffle your way past them.
Mor facts for you to ignore (and then, maybe deny"
