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.

When Maggie ruled the world .....

On 5 May, Bobby Sands died in the prison hospital on the sixty-sixth day of his hunger strike, prompting rioting in nationalist areas of Northern Ireland. Humphrey Atkins issued a statement saying that Sands had committed suicide "under the instructions of those who felt it useful to their cause that he should die". Over 100,000 people lined the route of his funeral, which was conducted with full IRA military honours. Margaret Thatcher showed no sympathy for his death, telling the House of Commons that "Mr. Sands was a convicted criminal. He chose to take his own life. It was a choice that his organisation did not allow to many of its victims".

How could anyone believe that you could say to Margaret Thatcher, " if you don't do what I want I will starve myself to death" and get what you want?

Bobby Sands and several others starved themselves to death just because they were no treated as 'special' prisoners and as a criminals. They wanted to be political prisoners and not have to wear prison uniforms and do work.

That's why we need her today ,she had the guts to not suck up to political correctness ....

When the 7ft 6in statue was unveiled in 2007, Baroness Thatcher was the first living former Prime Minister to be honoured in such a way by the Commons

I wonder if Blair will get this :)

Looks like a couple of Spitting Image puppets, it fact..

She would certainly slap down Corbyn in the Commons. Kinnock was terrified of her. In the end Kinnock could not look her in the eye at PMQs. He used to stare at the floor most of the time. Just look at some of Thatcher's PMQs on YouTube.

I suppose even Fred would have to admit she was our most influential and greatest Prime Minister..
To not accept that would be just plain ignorant.

Just for James and all it's fans.

Stan she was a babe !!!!!!!

She was a leader of puppets.

More like a bloke -):

Don't tell me that you don't secretly admire her Stan ,you know you do ..

The maggon was the last real leader this country had.

Just look at what followed.

Wasn't Blair an admirer of Maggie .

Was she a cross-dresser!

-=-=-=-=-=

Wasn't Blair an admirer of Maggie .

That is no recommendation.

He reckoned going into Iraq.

Blair would have fitted in nicely with the present con party crew in charge.

Watch and admire
