Marvellous woman, imo.
Aye, how the Left demonised the woman who saved Britain.
... erm, where are we now?

You saying that the secret meeting in Switzerland, two years before the war, never took place 
think they might have been from Wythenshawe ET , plenty of scalies round there
They were from Newton Heath Hanks. I ran across a few of their lads playing for different clubs some going as far east as Denton to play for the Halfway House and then on to Sunday league for a team called Edgefield. I remember we used to play all these other local teams from Middleton and surrounding areas and we kept hearing how we'd have a good battle with Edgefield as we also had a few handy lads. Me and my mate who was an ex marine were carrying each other up this huge hill to get ourselves psyched up and fit for a set to and then they came out and it was the same old faces. Of course my mate got sent off after a couple of minutes for knocking one of their lads out.

I thought that was wrong, as they were sailing away and were no threat,
Wrong Ebul. The Admiral of the Fleet asked permission to attack the Belgrano.
As regards not a danger read up on it and you'll se it was a very real danger.

I've seen the papers mighty. They don't back up your assertion that she was going to sell the Islanders down the river. She was quite explicit. Any deal had to be with the consent of the Islanders.
We were right to send the fleet, I`m not saying otherwise, but no one cared or even knew where the Falklands were (except me and a few others) and Thatcher wanted rid of them two years prior, hence the secret meeting in Switzerland.
We were at war. It was a warship. Where it was sailing and how is irrelevant. Thatcher haters use The Belgrano as a stick to beat her with but it is complete nonsense.

Well I respect your opinion akabula, but I could not see it as a threat really, it was too old.
I know more than the Admiral of the Fleet of course Akabula
I still think it was a political as much as a military decisions, but I can see why, we did want peace breaking out until
we had retaken the Falklands.

It's a good job you don't get put in charge of expediting a military conflict ebul. If you were attacked by a bear in the wild you'd be asking him if he would be observing the Marquess Of Queensberry Rules as he was chomping on your leg.

Known only to the heads of the three governments and members of the Workers Socialist Party.
Aye sounds about right.

Of course there are usually attempts to negotiate diplomatic settlements to intractable conflicts mighty but the bottom line is Thatcher always maintained publicly and privately that ultimately the Islanders themselves would be the arbiters of what was best for them.
hey this thread as been lucky for me just backed horse on 365 virtual racing called we love Maggie 22-1 bolted in 
There was indeed a meeting. That much is true. Ridley then went to the Islanders to discuss the proposal for a leaseback arrangement and they told him to shove it. The issue was debated in parliament where once again it was affirmed that the Islanders would be the final arbiters.
And Mrs T a puppet? The officials sent bto deal with her were sent packing with a flea in her ear.
Her message to the Americans, who were trying not to take sides, was loud and clear. Back us!
She reminded them that they were late in coming to our aid in WW2.

It's a sign Hanks. Turn away from the dark side before it is too late. Salvation and chicks with big hooters await.
them virtual reality horses are better than the real thing got a forecast up the other night payed 190 quid
Some people. Degenerates. You don't throw coins against the wall as well do you Hanks?
we used to at school ET but if the Nuns caught us they would leather us
Corbyn.
I worked with a bloke who served there, in the late 80s.He considered the whole exercise a great waste of life and funds, although a lot of ex servicemen disagreed with that when Corbyn made his comment sometime last year.

And of course let's not forget that waging and ' winning ' the war for the Falklands, guaranteed Thatcher was swept into No.10 as PM once more.That was her prime motivation right from the start.
@Facts talking rubbish again.
Kenny so you think turning our backs on 3000 British subjects was the way to go?
A foreign country invades and you think we should have just rolled over?
I've only ever known 2 people who served in the Falklands campaign and never heard them say anything negative about the stance we took.
The islanders, who are self governing, voted unanimously to remain British and want no truck with Argentina.
So should we just ignore their wishes?

Facts Mrs t tried to find a resolution to the problem.
You say waged a war but the reality is that we responded to an invasion.

I think Kenny that people invented that story.
The facts look differently.
A resolution was sought but came to nowt.
Even in the run up to the conflict the UK government were in discussions with Argentina.
The invasion triggered the response so are you saying that Mrs T and the Argies colluded?

No, I just think it was in her interests as there were pretty catastrophic economic issues here, and we did technically steal The Falklands in the first place.
How did we steal the Falklands Kenny and from whom?
Argentina didn't even exist as a sovereign state when we acquired them.
The islands were deserted btw when the first British settlers arrived their so not really sure what Argentinas claim is based on.

We were given the islands by Spain, I think it was a settlement for some dispute.
I know Mrs T benefitted at the polls from the outcome but to say the whole thing was orchestrated is just a nonsense.
We had 2 choices. We either respected the wishes of the islanders or we allowed Argentina to take the islands by force without retaliation.

Does ANYONE on the British Left still keep a straight face and refer wistfully to 'Las Islas Malvinas" when referring to the Falklands ? There was quite a fashion for that at one time. One wannabe Labour MP even found his campaign derailed by his previous and published thoughts on the Falklands Conflict.
Does ANYONE on the Left still publicly support the Islands being handed over to (or at least part-controlled by Argentina), regardless of the 99.99% of the Islanders wishes?

Cameron and the Tories are in such a mess. He'd welcome a 'Falklands '
Our administrations of the last 20 years can't even sort out The Enemy Within.
the right wing bar room bores have taken leave of their senses if they think the falklands was not a political engineering stich up by thatcher and her cronies
you mean Thatch threatened/bribed/begged the Argies to attack?
The Falklands conflict is a perfect example of the juvenile and simplistic way the left see the world. Firstly, they argue that the conflict was engineered to be Thatcher's ticket to the election. They conveniently ignore the fact that prior to sending the task force there were an awful lot of informed people (not just left wing nutters) who thought that expediting such an operation in the southern hemipshere was beyond our capabilities by that stage. They also conveniently forget that successful wars are not any kind of guarantee for public gratitude at the poll booths. Ask Churchill. Finally and crucially the left wing nutters totally ignore the most relevant fact. The economy wins or loses elections. At the time of the conflict we were still struggling economically. By the time of the election in 83 the people had become convinced that Thatcher was as good as her word. She had said that the early 80's were going to be tough and she told the people that we would emerge from it. We had.
Any time and more of you left wing loonies want some more actual facts just give me a shout and please don't listen to the numpty who calls himself Facts. You may be well meaning idiots but he's a wrong un.

Oh and I nearly forgot. Hanks supports the Red Vermin. It's amazing they let him out at all.
4 million thrown onto the dole paid for by north sea oil revenue, riots on the streets ,the country ravaged by industrial vandalism all in the name of- where there is despair let me bring hope , seriously what drivel the spivs believe
Hanks isn't such a bag egg but he is prone to nonsense and exaggeration. He probably tells the girls he has a four inch willy to go with his four million unemployed. The reality is a touch over three in both instances falling quickly to less than two. Ring any bells Hanks? 
What did she inherit Hanks? What did the Tories hand over to Blair in 97?
Simple question just for you.
Simple question just for you.
Indeed and Blair being a closet tory embraced the claptrap
I can always tell a leftie Hanks. Point out one of their lies and there is barely a pause before the next one. Most people would be shamed at being caught out at it. Never a leftie.
26 times the tories changed the unemployment figures why?
Facts is a fully fledged imbecile. A dangerous lying one who insists on rewriting history. Thatcher saw the problems inflation caused during the 70's and made it a priority to address it. She did and we reaped the benefits.
As for The Belgrano that halfwit makes out it was a yacht out for a jolly. It was a warship carrying enemy combatants. It's sad that anybody has to die in war but that is always the case. I've never once heard that cretin comment on the loss of life of our brave soldiers. He loves to have a pop at the aggressors soldiers being killed though. What a hypocrite but then given his previous everybody knows that.
Sinking The Belgrano was a sad day for the people who lost their lives and their family's but if the Argentinians hadn't started a war of aggression against our people they wouldn't have got a pasting. You almost imagine Facts would have preferred we lost and the islanders were kicked off, such is his hatred for his own country.
Hey Facts. One more thing. Victory in 79. Smashed Labour. Victory in 83. Smashed Labour. Victory in 85. Smashed Scargill. Victory in 87. Smashed Labour. Even in 2016 and long out of office she's still smashing dopes like you posthumously.
What a gal.

You can see why Ian Mohammed is so keen on the sorts of people who want to destroy Britain, although naturally he doesn't want to live anywhere near their dangerous communities. Less still invite them over the threshold.
Being anything resembling patriotic is, of course, THE number one sin in the modern British 'Socialist' mindset. They prefer a "Britain Last" and "The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend" approach.
How different from the generations of heroic Labour-supporting working-class folk who served their country proudly in WW! and WW2 and could not conceive of wanting Britain to be defeated in the Falklands Conflict. They at least knew a Fascist when they saw one.
Thank God their courage and sacrifice meant that one day their indulged descendants could go to see concerts by rock bands and the $100 million dollar 'junk bonds' businessman David Bowie in safety. That generation were tremendously patriotic as well as profoundly brave. God only knows what that 1940s/50s generation of Labour-supporting parents would make of some of their idiot sons.

They'd be ashamed alun. Memories of Lord Haw Haw were still fresh in the memory and the thought that someone could provide any kind of succour to an enemy of this country repulsed them. To be fair a few of them were facifists by ideological conviction but there were also plenty of red blooded patriots who would have cheered as Facts had the blindfold placed over his eyes. Of course he'd need the blindfold and tying to the stake because he'd have been blubbing like a baby and without tethering he'd be slithering down the stake like a poll dancer seeing a fifty coming out of a prospective clients wallet.

BLOCKING…… the cyberspace equivalent of hiding under the bed, fingers in ears, screaming "NOOOOO" in the desperate and forlorn hope that an inconvenient truth will go away.
BLOCKING…… an action with about as much dignity as a spoiled 5 year old child screaming at his Mam because his younger brother is eating the morning Cocopops out of the 5 year old's special Winnie-the-Pooh dish.
BLOCKING…. the immature act of a shallow person incapable of debate, no doubt privately embarrassed that their half-baked and insincerely held views are easily ripped apart and rightly ridiculed. Little surprise that such an individual supposedly identifies with the phoney "progressive" phoney "tolerant" types who want to shut down debate.
ADMITTING being a Blocker….
what self-respecting man would even dream of doing such a thing? Ye Gods, I'm blushing for him.

I'm glad he's blocked me as I no longer need to feel guilty about all his ex wives leaving him. I cannot imagine why they would do that though, maybe they didn't like sharing the bathrooms with refugees. What a failure as a husband.
how many of you have framed photo of maggie? maybe even signed?
no but I'm sure I could get you one for the right money guv
The decision to turn a political disccussion into personal abuse does you great credit burton. Something to really be proud of.

I'm afraid there's no way back for Ian Mohammed after the revelations on this thread.
Whatever faint scintilla of credibility he may have once had was, of course, fatally smashed by the catastrophic "Welcome Refugees" thread. (He would have actually gained some respect had he given it the more honest title 'Welcome Refugees, But Not In My Nice House In My Nice Village').
The cringeworthy and self-humiliating "Blocking" (but still reading every line) action is something else again. A shameless and embarrassing new low.

This was a rather good Channel 4 documentary from that period.

A documentary about the late former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, which could be criticised for being an uncritical hommage rather than a balanced view of her premiership. Most of the negative impacts caused by the fundamental changes she brought to Britain have been "elegantly" omitted, but her motives, her basic believes, her encouraging message and everything positive she stood for are beautifully summarised and one understands why despite her errors and some misjudgement she could be praised as a great and visionary politician who not only changed Britain for the better (on balance) but had an influence on the world like few other politicians can claim.
"Documentary" sounds like it was pushing it just a bit.
"Documentary" sounds like it was pushing it just a bit.
Regarding the "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" song, as everyone will recall, there was a successful campaign amongst supporters of the British Left to get this song high into the pop/download charts after Thatcher died. (Ditto Elvis C's remarkable 'Tramp The Dirt Down', and there may have been others).
As history tells us, many many thousands of (mainly young) left-leaning people chose to buy these songs at the time, spending around 50p or so each time for the pleasure.
Would the large sums of money have been better spent by these lefties on causes that they believe in (or perhaps more accurately, pretend to believe in), such as giving aid to the poorest people in the UK or abroad?
Would it have been better to spend the umpteen thousands of pounds, for example, on Food Aid for the millions of children in the North of England starving to death, or to give it to already-rich tax-avoiding Big Businesses?
Given the choice of helping the disadvantaged, or wearing their hatred proudly, the lefties naturally chose the latter.

Aah, the voice of the privileged telling the poor plebs how they should and should not spend their money. Twas ever thus. Maybe they just thought it was a giggle and well, 50p is a fair price for a bit of a laugh.
privileged you obviously know something I don't ! I'm certainly looking forward to this silver spoon inheritance or gilded-cage existence whenever it comes though.
Perhaps Ed M, the Labour leader of the time should have himself stepped in and directed these deranged people to donate the money to a cause that the Left liked to pretend to support. "Help For Heroes" perhaps.

I'd be very surprised if Mrs.T and Markie boy weren't mentioned at some point in the Panamanian Offshore banking scandal....
Amazing. Porky must be one of the few lefty's who don't want to cosh people on the head, turn them upside down and shake them until every penny has been taken for the collective good. Suddenly now it suits we have in all seriousness a lefty espousing choice, individualism and liberty.
He must be Diane Abbott's privately educated son.

Perhaps you could address the issue of why the left seek to micromanage peoples lives but only when it suits and they ignore their principles when it comes to themselves? I remember a famed socialist on the politics forum refusing to donate additional money to government to help out because they spend money inefficiently. Didn't stop him advocating soaking the "rich" though.
Pssssst. Whatever you do EO, pleeeeease don't mention that fine Socialist 'thinker' Tony Benn and his infamous Inheritance Tax Dodge. Acts like this are ONLY for the "Disgusting Tory Tax Avoiders".

I've no desire to debate every Socialist policy. However, the very fact I'm on a betting forum should give even the thickest of you some clue about my views regarding how I should spend my money.
BTW the people seen on tv partying at the time of Mrs Ts death looked like they'd sacrificed the cost of a bar of soap to pay for their 'bit of a laugh' Porky.
Big difference between both actions mac. The partying shown on the tv was embarrassing and what you might expect of a third world country.
I saw Sheridan at one, in Ayrshire I think it was, drinking champagne. What a cheek that lying hypocrite has criticising anyone.
