Her pal Regan would have kept it afloat, couldn't let his missile carrier sink could he?

But don't forget, war is only the failure of diplomacy. (Or the result of not showing your bigger stick)

 

Trying to keep out if this but... You're wrong. War IS just a tool of diplomacy used by government to protect or further their national interests (the desire of those who live on FI). Deffinately not the failure of diplomacy. Whether a war is just or not is another matter. I think Arbogrunt has summed up the feelings of the South Atlantic Task Force.

Now that I agree with,trouble is it takes two to make/keep peace.

 

No problems with differing opinions, every-one's entitled to them and I wouldn't fall out with anyone because they differed,:beerchug:

One of the main reasons they got rid of her (and she did not even loose that vote) was because she wanted less connection with Europe, but the the rest of the party wanted to get more into the EU, I think many would say she was right.

 

Certainly true regarding the EU connection. Look where its got us now, picking words carefully lots of people outside the uk here working and sending money from our economy back to there own and we wander why we are crisis point.

Back in the 80's people didn't struggle for money like at the moment, house prices where acceptable etc and most working citizens could afford to get on the housing ladder.

As for heavy industry that's more a case of labour killing it off.

I've always had arguments with people about her.

 

I always said that other than war she did bring us out of the mines. Whether peopl elite it or not. We would still be mining if she hadn't.

 

The subject of war is something I'm not interested in.

 

She had balls and used to call the SAS her boys. Says it all really.

I won't argue with anyone, and I'll only make one post.

Great Prime minister, mistakes made sure, did many things right, as Arbogrunt said would you rather have had Michael Foot? History will remember her as a true great.

Ps I am nearly 50 so I remember the previous Labour government.

RIP Maggie.

 

State funeral I say!

 

In all seriousness I think its pretty disgusting to speak ill of the dead, whatever their politics, especially within hours of the event.

I heard some interesting things about her today on the radio.

 

One was about how she had had all the children of her staff round for dinner, she had stayed up the night before and cooked all the food herself.

 

We often like to paint a picture of someone that suits us, many want her to be a truly evil woman, but in reality very few people are all bad or all good, we tend to all have good and bad points.
