She was heading for a huge election defeat until she
manufactured the Falklands War.

*shrug* takes two to tango.

It would have been cheaper to give every inhabitant a
million pounds and ask them to relocated to a Scottish
island, which, at the time, is where most people in Britain
probably thought the Falklands were. Colin Bignell

Ha!
At the time a mate of mine said that the wops had invaded the
channel islands.

And had the Falklands fallen

That wouldn’t have happened. The yanks were keeping
an eye on what was happening and would have ****ed
over the Argys if there had been any possibility of that.


In your dreams.


Nope, it’s a fact. That was Raygun and Maggie, don’t forget.


No. They would have left us in the ****. Raygun liked mad military
dictatorships in South America.

And TBH the decision to retake the Falklands was probably not Thatchers.
