I'm sure if you asked the people on the Sir Galahad they wouldn't have been happy about being brown bread either. What has that got to do with war you fool?

Face facts chump:

The Belgrano was a war ship and had been involved in the expedition of war which resulted from an illegal act of aggression on the sovereign territory of another country. War is a nasty business and people die.

As for your what you would like to do with that white feather I must say that I am flattered but fudge packing isn't my thing. Not that I have anything against your kind.

people these days have forgotton how exciting a 'conviction' politicians can be . nearly allmodern day politicians have to consult a focus group or a report or a opinion poll before deciding how to vote. Mrs Thatcher never did that and so some of her speeches were quite magnificient in terms of drama (een if you did not believe in her policies).

'No No No ' can you imagine anyone prominent in the cowered house of commons saying that today in respest of our EU masters

Margret Thatcher made decisions based on conviction not public opinion.

Thatcher sold you your own water, your own electric, your own gas and your own phone companies and you paid through the nose and thought she were great. She sold the poor their own houses so that they could pay for the repairs to the scabby things out of the money that the dole she forced them onto gave, and the dole money came from their own north sea oil.

Thatcher were the biggest three card trick merchant this country has ever seen.

And the service invariably improved. Look at how long BT used to take to put a line in back in the day or what a shambles British Rail was. To be fair that was balanced by the fact that you could have any colour phone you wanted - as long as it was black.

A truly vile, evil woman.
I cant understand any normal working man or woman voting for her. She's the reason I'd eat my own children before I ever voted Tory.

for anyone who has any doubts about the morality of this woman, look into her relationship with a mass murderer called Pinochet. They had a lot in common.

Complete nonsense.

After BT was sold off, System X exchanges (which had been held back especially, btw) were installed, which computerised a mechanical system. This is why the telephone system was speeded up. It had NOTHING to do with sacking much of the staff, and giving the profits and whole organisation to a few rich tories.
British Rail (an instant 150 new profit making organisations, and a cost of BILLIONS to the taxpayer bailing out a privatised company), British Gas, Water companies, and all the others didn't improve either.

Maggie was the greatest PM we've ever had.

Someone should carve her head on a rockface in Cumbria in gratitude.

imo, Privatisation is the root cause of most of this country's ills, Witham.
Just about all politicians of all parties are sleazy, slimy, power-hungry dweebs with no friends, which is why they get into politics in the 1st place. The Labour govt has continued with tory policies since taking office. Blair is the son of Thatcher, imo. The banks (since you ask) pay far too much to another bunch of faceless greedy backslappers, who get to play with numbers to no purpose, and although I'm no accountant, well - other than turf, I'd have said sod 'em.

None of which detracts from Thatcher's wicked, selfish, nation-ruining, lying, greedy, ill-considered nastiness.

I think you will find Larry those phone lines were heavily subsidised by the rest of the GPO.

We need a Thatcher figure to lead this country now. Sort out the welfare state, get layabouts back to work and get this country back on track.
