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.

Well tell that haystacks to one of your fellow right wing thatcherites 3 monkeys.
Pathetic how pro thatcher supporters think they have the upper moral ground.
Ill show you something imoral one of many imoral issues associated with the Thatcher family.

Tanker,
I had relatives who planted bombs.
One got home, the other was killed.
------------------------
They were both in France in 1944.
So I was told, both were fighting for what they or others "believed" in.
Were they cowards?

Not condoning the stupidity or waste of life, of the recent actions in USA, or Iraq, or Afghanistan, but reflecting views as seen from “other” sides and also those who resort to such actions, out of “feelings” due justifiable or unjustifiable impotency.
Often, the initial problems are furnaced, by the dismissal of political, or other rights.

As long as you think that you are getting somewhere.

She certainly did it for "her country"!
She was a remarkable woman.

GF,
You had me worried for a moment.
I thought you were looking for Dennis.
-------------
His will seems to be airbrushed out.
Didn't Mark, with his mother's help, do a deal selling arms and him pocketing £18million.

cynic
Have you ever tried a wine called Pleiades? It is made by a Californian winemaker called Sean Thackrey and comes in editions rather than vintages. I think they are up to edition XXII. It is a blend of high quality wines. Some years it is a bit difficult to get. Oddbins sometimes have a few bottles at the odd branch. Majestic have had it in some years.

Thats right Fred he also gave something like £970,000 to the tax payer I seem to recollect so he must have had a decent wad saved away.
Just thinking what a plank Camoron is going to look if it comes out the twins get £2o/£25 million apiece.
Wouldnt be suprised.

Tony Blair and the £8million tax 'mystery'
Official accounts show a company set up by Mr Blair to manage his business affairs paid just £315,000 in tax last year on an income of more than £12 million. In that time, he employed 26 staff and paid them total wages of almost £2.3 million.
The accounts provide the strongest evidence yet of the huge sums generated by Mr Blair through his various activities since quitting Downing Street in June 2007.

"This amusing viral video casts the Iraq war alliance between George W. Bush and Tony Blair in a whole new light. Created by Johan Söderberg for a Swedish television program called 'Kobra,' this parody synchs up images of Bush and Blair singing Diana Ross and Lionel Richie's breathless ballad "Endless Love." Their war may have gone horribly awry, but their hearts still beat as one."

SHAME on Tony Blair. Thanks for pointing that out skinny.
Dont think for one minute Im just a one party fan,Im not.
Ive voted twice for both major partys but found Thatchers era to be the most corrupt.
Now followed far by the 2 clowns we have now in Cam and Osbourne. If we had decent tory leadership I dont think milli and balls would have a chance.
Its just a case of supporting the best of a bad bunch alround.

Maggies biggest mistake I remember besides greed factor wasnt the closing of the mines BUT the lack of a policy to regenerate them areas once the mines had been closed down.
It was crimminal and she took no major responsibility in trying to promote new business and enterprise.
Basically northeners just saw her as looking after southerners.
Hence the major divide. And its still the same now.
