Yes, I agree, but it wasn't an invasion and thousands were not killed. It was a point of accuracy.

Once we,ve executed Blair, Thatcher etc etc etc for all their 'crimes' whilst Prime-Minister, will we then begin the witch-hunt for all those MPs who backed their decisions. Execute them too. Then, can we get all the members of the public who voted for their MP to act on their behalf.......and execute them too.
Could help solve the shortage of houses and over-crowding of our nation at the same time.

So the sweet and innocent facist dictator Galrieri who lops the heads of undesirables and throws their bodies out of helicopters, was lured into invading the Falklands by evil democraticly elected Thatcher.
Oh and nice rewrite of history, John Nott scrapped the Endevour in a defence review, that was his job. It was after this that the yanks contacted British intelligence who just ignored them.

Yep, Blair's (socialist?) bodyguards costing UK taxpayers £250,000 per annum, on his tour of US University lectures raising mega bucks for... Tony & Cherie Blair.

Tony Blair-Walking Eagle
On a recent trip to the United States , Tony Blair, Ex. Prime Minister of the UK , addressed a major gathering of Native American Indians.
He spoke for almost an hour on his plans for a Carbon Trading Tax for the UK and Europe .
At the conclusion of his speech, the crowd presented him with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name - Walking Eagle.
A very chuffed Tony then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds..
A news reporter later asked one of the Indians how they came to select the new name given to Tony Blair.
They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly.

May I just say that I'm grateful for what Mrs Thatcher did for our country.
Why are you a private mine owner who saw her destroy the nationalised mining industry?
[MENTION=11956]bushy[/MENTION] my point stands. People always look at domestic issues ahead of foreign affairs. Domestically this country was great under Blair and faced disturbance after disturbance under Thatchers reign of evil.
Blair is twice the Prime Minister that old witch ever was.

I have many issues with the way both Thatcher and Blair conducted their reigns of power.
But to wish death upon them is, in my mind, way beneath the realms of decency.

Strangely, no. I think she was great for our country, helped save us from trade union hell. Sure it's not a popular view here, but the truth is our mining industry was a burden. While it's true that some communities were ruined by the mass closures, the miners gave the government no choice. They made it clear that it was all or nothing, they'd have kept open collieries even when the coal had run out, and they felt it was ok to hold the entire country to ransom in order to prevent one single job loss. Any miner that disagreed was labelled a scab and threatened with violence (to them and their family). If it weren't for Thatcher our country would be a lot more like Greece now.

I would never agree with you in a million years. She was instrumental in the decline of manufacturing industry and the systematic destruction of our public services and the only tired old argument her supporters put forward is that she rid us of our "terrible trade unions". Well the unions are still here and still fighting for millions of working people in this country against this current bunch of fools. It is the same tired old discredited argument that you can deal with difficult financial times with a single policy of cutting public expenditure. It was discredited in the 1980's and it is discredited now.

Likewise.
The reality is that it's difficult for a wealthy country with limited resources to have a very good manufacturing industry. It's a lot cheaper (more competitive) to manufacture goods in countries where wages are a fraction of what they are here. We need to specialise in more technical manufacturing, but even then the poorer countries are able to most of what we can do for less, like out-sourcing IT to India.
Because it was all going so well under Brown? Labour have absolutely knackered our country with debt. While there has been a world-wide recession, there is no excuse for the fact that labour allowed our debt to increase while we were enjoying the good times. That was the time to pay off our debt, but labour just spent, spent, spent, and you then label the new government as the fools. While you obviously tow the Labour line and say we should have spent our way out of this, the only independant judge of whether cuts or spending is the way forward is the market, and the market clearly said that cuts were the best option.
It's never been discredited, you're just making that up to try and justify your views. Like I say, the market disagrees with you. You're not the greek treasurer are you?
