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.


Fraid so.

They would have left us in the ****.


Fantasy. That was the time when they ****ed over Grenada
just go give the yanks some practice at a real live fire exercise
and with Nicaragua in spades.

Raygun liked mad military dictatorships in South America.


He wanted to **** Maggy even more.

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


Pigs arse it wasn’t.
