What so I conduct foreign policy because of a couple of hundred people. I think not. We could intefere in many more areas of the world than we already are-and much more worthy.

Bellicose wars to boost Thatchers' electoral chances just don't suit me. The Argentinians would have given a free plane ride home. Not worth the loss of life.

No words to condemn the Generals then?
But, sadly it is true they were generous with their use of plane rides.

Wars are never worth the loss of life but while people insist on playing politics (of any party) you will always have wars.
So, the Falkland islanders, because they were few in number. would be below your concern? Minorities aren't worth worrying about?
That sounds like a stance much further to the right than Thatcher ever took.

Thatcher took the stance of an imperialist war for her own benefit. In one way she was the same as Galtierri (check spelling). She saw an opportunity to enhance her own popularity- as did he.

You only engage in wars if you want too.

Your name is very fitting for your posts. A load of trollop really.

I doubt very much that Mozette's mum has blood on her hands!

Yes, I did guess it.

Another one who attacked the miners.

Presumably you blame Churchill for the loss of all that life in WW2?

Six children die and politicians can use it as an attack on the Welfare State.

A wicked witch who caused untold pain and suffering to communities throughout the country dies and we can't celebrate a wee bit?

Funny old world.

I don't hold truck with fascists. That's why the brave scots rejected Thatchers' early imposition of the poll tax.

I blame him for loss of life in Gallipolli. Another imperialist campaign.

Got you replying.

Worked you up a bit. Worth it.

Alternatively, if you are in a position where you are responsible for protecting the people & land under your jurisdiction you might feel obliged to actually protect them.
The Falkland Islands were, & are, as entitled to the protection of the Government as anywhere in the UK - including where you live or, should some mad Junta decide to invade & take over your town should we all just say "Shame, but not worth losing lives over. Let them keep it"?
