No mate, it was bad before they were in power but, they really opened the flood gates hoping to create a nation that would always vote labour in. All on the back of decent people who have been shafted since 1997 by socialist scum. Conservatism is not perfect but way better than that bunch of shisters who keep the red flag flying.
Absolutely true Gary. Maggie sold off the council houses for the same reason!
There is nothing a politician will not say or do to keep in power and in the House of Commons.:wank:
Just like there is nothing a woman will not wear or will not do to her body in the name of fashion!8rfl@

And so what?. So you want to live off my tax's and have 1 or 2 spare bed rooms that I'm paying for. If your house means so much to you, off your idle arse and get a job, like descent people do all their lives. Then we would have money to help pensioners and those who really need it. Not mini Philpott scum.
Thatcher was worse than that Adolf fella that was boss of Germany during the Wowwa
Another thing that she fucked up, she gave us Mark Thatcher 
or is it Les Dennis?

The question mark should have come after "down" seeing as you have broken the sentence with a comma you should not include the word "Gary" in the question. :-0)

If the question mark had been after "down", then "Gary" would have been the start of a new sentence therefore the meaning of the whole script would have been different if not illogical.

"People on the way down". Gary? That's how it shoulda been, followed by :wank: smilie.
"People on the way down Gary?" would also have been acceptable.

The Belgrano was a serious threat to our task force and as a WW2 battleship and at 12,000 tons fully loaded and with a decent array of weapons (including British Sea Cat missiles), the Belgrano was considered to be a threat to the Task Force even if she was outside of the Exclusion Zone.
In fact it needed two torpedoes to sink her. The first did damage to the bow area but internal bulkheads meant that she was still able to function, this hit killed no one. The second to the stern area took out the electrical system and killed an estimated 270+ and it was the lack of power that meant that the pumps could not keep her afloat. The British government maintained that the Belgrano still represented a threat to the Task Force and in this they were, to an extent, supported by the Belgrano’s captain. Hector Bonzo later made the point that though the Belgrano was sailing away from the Exclusion Zone, it was not sailing to its port in Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego, It was simply moving to another unspecified position to await further orders – that could have included attacking the Task Force. The naval commander of the Task Force, Admiral Sandy Woodward, made the point that the Belgrano and its escorts were more than capable of turning about at speed and thus returning to a course towards the Task Force.
Also on April 23rd, the Argentine government was handed a message from the British government (via the Swiss Embassy) that it held the right to take whatever action was required to defend itself if any Argentine “warship, including submarines, naval auxiliaries or military aircraft” seemed to threaten the naval Task Force. Clearly as the Belgrano was considered to be a threat, it was attacked and sunk. After the war, Argentinean Rear- Admiral Allara admitted that the whole of the South Atlantic became an operational theatre during the conflict and that the Belgrano was a casualty of war.
The sinking of the ‘General Belgrano’ sent a salient message to the military junta that ruled Argentina. The Argentinean Navy after the sinking was effectively confined to port, especially their aircraft carrier, ‘Veinticinco de Mayo’.
BTW the Atlantic Conveyor that the Argentinian air force sank was an unarmed merchantman.
Rules of war?? apart from the Geneva Convention there arn't any.
War doesn't decide who is right it decides who is left!!!

No fucking idea any of you I,m from a family that lost it,s all when the pits closed no job, no chance of another job - anyone been to Easington lately or the Northeast - the pits were making money Thatcher closed them down because of the Unions and her hatred of them ... Bugger the social cost, rather pay dole than suffer the unions ... The strange thing is that at the time
were importing coal from Poland and Australia cheaper than we could produce it here because their governments subsidised. She judged the industry on this. The North East has never recovered - Seaham was the biggest coal producing town in Europe with four pits ,all million toners a year - all gone.
Strange but now when we are reliant on overseas fuel we actually need coal more now than we ever did ...... AND THERE IS LOADS OUT UNDER THE NORTH SEA ....... The Russians are winning the cold war. We are now paying a fortune or gas.
My fathers fathers father worked down the pit, three generations......

..and maybe we should still be subsidising the Cornish tin mines as well? or the steel works? or all the other weak and failing nationalised industries that every single one of us was PAYING to keep open. :dunno: my great grandad moved the entire family AWAY from a coal mining town, so that none of his sons would EVER have to go down a pit. They all ended up with an education and good jobs in other industries, why all this sentimental bollocks about coal mines? it was fucking hard, fucking dangerous work, that killed men in their early fifties, due to the shitty conditions they lived and worked in...........I know ex miners who freely admit they were much better off AFTER the pits closed........get over it!
question. How many of you wailing about the coal mines would give up the job (or benefits) you have now, to go and work in a deep shaft mine every day, 6 days a week for minimum wage? if the pits were still open today I can almost hear the lilt of POLISH songs as the cage descends into the abyss for another day!!

You have been overdoing the Evo-Stik.
Their is no murder in war don't ye know! Keep propagandising statistics until you believe it yourself and you are nothing more than a self grandised fool playing footsie with your own ego.:violin:
wrong, everybody has a choice, nobody is forced to work in this country...and by the way, its an opinion, no need to make it personal, did I? :dunno:
Sorry Tim.
Both your suggestions are clearly incorrect!
1. I was not asking Gary's opinion.
2. How could people have been on the way down Gary? Is Gary a street?
