morning!!!
Thatcher , Belgrano, dead UK soldiers, dead Argie soldiers, UK election win , start of the underclass :j'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -
The "young" Labourites are too busy reading the Daily Sport to come on the internet. I wonder if your IQ is as miniscule as the average Labour voter!
:rotfl:
(BTW, I'm 24!)
My god IQ 24, I would have thought you would be struggling to breath

I will say this, has true has i believe it. Anyone and i mean anyone who vote's Labour is THICK, period.
A sentence making absolutely no sense whatsoever, with bad punctuation, poor grammar and incorrect capitalisation that precedes a statement calling people thick is an irony I really enjoy.0 -
But what if it had said gay and black? Would that make those bits non-racist and hetrophobic?
That's a stupid argument that I'm not getting in to.
I simply think that the statment by Fitpig (who's a troll anyway) which suggests that the standards of councils have dropped because they employ black and gay people is racist and homophobic. You don't agree?0 -

Actually I will answer your question. If the OP was a black, gay person who stated that council standards were declining because they were employing straight, white people then yes, I would also say they were bigoted.0 -

Interest rates didn't go up in the 1981 budget.
The 1981 budget was a however a deflationary one at a time when the economy was contracting.
It really is not that difficult to tackle inflation when there are 3 million unemployed (and a whole lot more hidden on incapacity benefit).
What excuse can there be for the fact that inflation was back up at 10% after 11 years in power - was this Labours fault as well.
Other Thatchers myths.
1) She reduced the tax burden.
2) She reduced Government spending.
It was John Major government that reduced the above 2 to levels I suspect we are unlikely to see again in the next 15 years.
I wonder who allowed British manufacturing to be wiped out not that champion of British intererests Thatcher:eek: 'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.
