Yeah she was great. Destroyed the social fabric of society. Sold off anything worth selling and on the cheap. Got people to buy shit they didn't need on credit and hey presto one f***ed nation.

Thats because NUlabour were just Thatcherites in disguise
Sold off anything that her government turned around it should read, lets think for a minute BA losing millions each year, the GPO again losing money and union led, British Steel ditto, British Leyland ditto, Coal ditto the list goes on. Sold off and the debt left from Labour turned into something the Scottish twat would not understand a surplus. Government borrowing at zero and a rebate, yes a rebate from the Labour loving European Union.
Every thing Brown touches turns to shit even the gold we had.
That oil stuff again. Wasn't that the cause of a couple of spats in the sandy lands of the Middle East?
She sold them off because she wrote off most of their debts. Look at the utilities, we are far better off now aren't we! In private hands where are some of those companies now? British steel owned by Tata. British Leyland - bankrupt, GPO (Royal Mail) losing money, most of the water companies belonging to the french. She sold large wedges of the housing stock to try and create little tories and then didn't allow councils to reinvest the proceeds in new buildings. What is one of the problems with the rise in house prices of the last 10 years which allegedly fuelled the recession, lack of supply.

sorry, were you going to make a point there? should the government continually bail out a business for prosperity when it fails to find a market or change to meet competitive pressures?
i know you are going to mention the banks, but thats the tempoary measure.
The utilities were sold by Major in 1992.
Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!

Actually as Argentina and The Falklands are the same distance apart then can't the Falkland Islands lay claim to Argentina??

As a general observation, we tend to think of the identity and governing of countries and territories only in terms of what has happened within the last century or two. This is understandable as those changes of rule still resonate within our lifetime. However, since time immemorial territories have been changing, empires have been founded, thrived and collapsed. This, for better or for worse is how history plays out over a vast stretch of time. The way the world is today will pass as all other times have and future generations will consider their global situation to be right and relevant. Of course some nations hold grudges longer, Iran for example.
This is how The Americas developed, The British empire grew and disbanded. Sometimes these changes are bloody (The American War Of Independance). Sometimes they are negotiated and peaceful (The handing over of territories in the Far East), but the changes will ring out and eventually become accepted.
Our snapshot of History is merely that, a small fraction of a much bigger story that will in time unfold and evolve as it always has.
