Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

This is all pointing to THATCHER.

For those who want a balanced view and informative article regarding the the problems in Crimea:

The crisis in Crimea could lead the world into a second cold war

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/mar/02/crimea-crisis-russia-ukraine-cold-war


Would advise Manuel not to read it, as the words are probably too difficult and maybe his concentration is not up to it.

at the moment, i do not pretend to understand quite what is going in ukraine .... i have no idea who actually fomented the current unrest, as assuredly it was not spontaneous

certainly the russkies are a bunch of bully-boys, though in some ways, uk reacted similarly in the falklands

on the other hand, what is the affiliation if any of the new guys who have taken over?

until it becomes a little clearer, i shall take no sides, but nevertheless, there is no doubt that the current situation is destablising at best

Europe is on the brink of war but.....Goldfinger is more bothered about knocking Mrs Thatcher .......it's unbelievable.....pages of it.....cracked !....(if you want a good laugh)(if that's possible in these dire times)...try and read through it...

From my post 37190 (before the escalation in Crimea) re Labour grandees involvement with P.I.E.
''perhaps if they were Tories and not Labour this board would have seen a deluge of posts from the usual red brigade''.
Not a word from gf about the 3 Labourites, a bit different now there may be a Tory involved.
2517

absolutely so, though i still think it's just a rather unpleasant smear campaign

RF.

I think GF is responding to the "delight" that some had in muck raking and smearing by association.

One of the political charms of the Mail and adherents, is its use of innuendo of politicians who have different views.

Unfortunately, this mode of "debate" has increased and it is no surprise that retaliation is in a similar vein.

-whether the Callaghan Labour and Thatcher Conservative governments actually funded PIE just at the time when the National Council for Civil Liberties was also supporting the organisation,

The Callaghan Labour party . Did you miss that Goldie

I tell you one thing : a JKX (based in the Ukraine) short might be on the cards !...shame because it's a good little company....

Its mostly Gas that is exported to other countrys , and Russia can turn the pipe line off

RF isnt it strange you blues all want to go quiet when the tables are turned on you.

Fact is Thatchers involvement with PIE was far more serious than the 3 labour MPS involvement.

Like I said when boots on other foot the tory boys run away and go into hiding.

By the way RF this isnt the first time you have made personal nasty snipes at me. Ive tolerated them so far and responded in good faith.

But remember this you shouldnt say things on the net that you wouldnt say to a persons face.

it really is extraodinary how a few of you plankheads remain transfixed with some non-event bit of scandal surrounding a few non-event uk politicians when thje ukraine situation couid evolve into something far more serious for all

little things obviously pre-occupy little minds

I'm not making snipes at you : just look at your blogs Goldfinger....nothing but indoctrinated Labour adverts...I'm sorry but your monopoly of this thread wrecks any kind of normal debate on other subjects...most selfish !..

Ps....what I say on here : I would be delighted to say to their faces !...

I agree with you Cynic !...

Aldwick....yes....I fear a crash for that share...

RF YOU dont set the agenda here we as individuals do. SEE THE HEADER.

If you dont like something skip around it.

For days on end we have had to endure the smear campaing posted here by Daily Mail supporters.

Today the truth as outed and you dont like it. Thatcher is at the very heart of it.

As for your second point well then put your DM messenger up and we can arrange to sort this out.

cynic
I am not sure how you can compare the Ukraine with the Falklands. We were not the aggressor, by were defending the invasion by Argentina. The Falklands were and are British territory. The Ukraine is not Russian terrority and has not been for years.

I see the conflict as lot to do with Putin's wish for Ukraine to have a totalitarian government as an adjunct to Russia. Putin was the head of the KGB and likes control. He is essentially a gangster.

Interestingly, one of the possible sanctions that is being considered is to seize billions of dollars that Putin has stolen and secreted abroad, particularly huge investments in property in the US.

What the hell is a DM messenger ?.....I know you started this thread....but you've changed....look: a lot of us are fed up with the political stuff ; it's as simple as that...
