Margaret Thatcher

[MargaretR]

We are aware that she protected Pinochet from standing trial for crimes against humanity.

It is now revealed that she provided SAS help to Pol Pot (remember the Cambodian Killing Fields)

I am sure that more unavoury facts about her will be revealed now she is dead, (just as they were with Savile), and her admirers will regret their glowing eulogies.

Incidentally Savile was regarded as a friend of hers, and had regular invites to Chequers.
I surmise that she needed updates about the unsavoury practices that many of her ministers indulged in, in order to control them by veiled threats of exposure.

Coal fired might not be all that bad of an idea when compared to this:

This is one time that you guys should NOT buy Canadian.

A good read, by the way, is Nukespeak: The Selling of Nuclear Technology in America. Something interesting to read while avoiding tv coverage of THE FUNERAL.

Though if they did, they would then have to face the ire of their grass root members for being so hypocritical.

It no doubt would have proved a rather damning situation leading to their downfall at the next election, The irony of which would perhaps be yet another Tory Government in power.

Yep, I can see them all raising a glass to Maggie for going whilst they didn't have to make any decisions.

Not new there Less when have they ever taken any major decisions, they always run away from um.

Oh Yawn, a boring Tory standard reply to a bit of extra thinking!

How fortunate for you. When thinking isn't your strong point, you can always substitute repeating the number "13"

Something you and Cmonstanleeee have in common not thinking before replying.


Seriously though, if you ever hope to retake and pass your 11th plus you will have to attempt exercising (or is that exorcising, knock, knock, is there anybody there?), your grey matter, rather than relying on your well thumbed copy of the Lady Bird book.

He probably just wanted to set a precedent so that he could be planted in the same way

Maybe Thatcher should have opted for a private funeral, surrounded by her friends and loved ones ... and I have no doubt she has many. But no, she lived a controversial life; so, why not have one last kick at the can and head for the everlasting bonfire in a final blaze of divisiveness.

A little general knowledge test so that folks can while away the hours as they wait for the BIG DAY: About whom was it said, "He thinks too much."

a) Jaysay b) Cassius c) Sly Stallone?

And now, I'm off back to my rut ... well, I will be as soon as the ground thaws out.

You have never gone into detail because it would confuse you long before you attempted to spell the number of words required to make more than an extremely simple and dogmatic watered down version of the Tory ideals that you seem to have learnt by rote.
If we ever got another and by another I mean a proper Tory on site he/she could run rings around the rest of us, because after years of practicing on you we've forgotten that there actually are Tories out there that can think for themselves and put forward a worthwhile argument.
Still we'll put up with you until that day arrives.
