Looks like we'll be invading Iran then. I hope we dont pussy foot around and show them we mean business. Fooking *******s.

Funny how people look at the past and say ahh Maggy would have sorted it.

 

The Way I remember it was that Mrs Thatcher was flagging in the poles big style and Priminister Elect Mr Kinock was just waiting for polling day.

 

The Govenor of the Falklands and the Navy where telling Mrs Thatchers government that the Argies where making ready for an invasion. They requested that a carrier battle group be sent to patrol the waters. Which would make it impossible for the Argies to mount any invasion attempt.

 

This would have saved thousands (ie nearly 3000 on the General Belgrano) of lives. 150 helicopters loads of ships and thousands of sheep.

 

I would not have hailed Mrs Thatcher to the status many seem to like to give her credance for and most certainly would have ment her not seeing a second term of office. + We would still have a minning industry, Steel industry, Ship building industry, an armed forces 3 times the size of todays armed forces.

 

The massive boom in public sector workers would not have taken place and therefore would not need us all to be taxed to the hilt to pay for all their pensions. etc.

 

The South East of Britain wouldn't have diapeared under concrete, The North of England would still have jobs instead of large areas of industrial waste land, Scotland would still be under a UK parliment and not demanding independance, the Royal Mail would still belong to the crown and be the best postal service in the world, the water board would still be National and not belong to the french, the electricety board and british rail would also be National. They used to invest more into the inferestructure and not in share holders producing better quality services at cheeper prices etc and i could goo on and on.

 

Mrs thatcher will be seen by History as the Great Vandal of Great Britain reducing it to 4 lesser countries of little worth. Where it's native people were forced to leave by the imigrent explosion.

 

Unfortunately Mr Blair has continued Mrs Thatchers work and is of the same mould

 

bloody well said that man my thoughts exactly, couldnt of put it better myself

Not sure where your getting that figure from as only 907 people were killed in the entire war. Thats the total of boths side losses.

 

323 of those were from the General Belgrano

Just seen on the news that they are coming home. I'll believe it when I see it. Its a common tactic in interogation / POWs. Lets hope they mean it!

All seems very convenient for PR to invade the next country in the middle east oil connection!

 

Bush family oil wealth

 

Bin Laden family oil wealth

 

Osama terrorises the us

 

George Terrorise the middle east

 

Both families benefit!

Hmm, I was under the impression that Bin Laden obtained most of their family's wealth from owning large scale construction companies. Now he spends most of his free time spelunking.

From a creaky memory which has added a 0 for impact, but yes your correct as I was just looking at the Falklands Enquiry, but the general theme of what i said is true.
