I'm pleased to see you've got a mind of your own Roland! Even in my days at school 1946-57, 80% of teachers were left wing!

Roland

Ever heard of the 'Frankfurt school of social research'. If not that's a truly eye opening bit of forgotten history.

Oh and nice not to be called a 'nut' for once. A great method of political correctness suppressing any speech that does not tow the party line.

Very true Kernow, the ecnomic changes she introduced caused a major reaction against her government but she has been proved right over time. I did not always agree with her but this country owes her a great debt which we will never be able to repay.

"...this country owes her a great debt which we will never be able to repay."

She presumably knew about the 'ever closer union' as set out in the Treaty of Rome but took us in deeper and deeper. Will she ever apologise and help to reverse what has happened?

Caroline Flint is clawing herself up the Labour ladder quite quickly.

She's got a streak of ambition and arrogance in her that will probably see her as a challenger for the leadership in a few years time.

She'll try and play on the Hilary Clinton mandate of 'Labour should have a female leader' and will use that fact that she is actually quite attractive, unusual in British politics, to her advantage.

She knows what she wants.

She was bloody awful on QT the last time I saw her. She was there to defend the indefensible (so 10/10 for having the balls to go on). 0/10 for the pitiful display in trying to do it though.

My remarks were directed at her ecnomic policys, I did not approve of her European ones, she has already said that she got it wrong on the SEA when Masstricht was debated in the Lords 15 years ago I acceot a stronger statment regarding the Treaty of Rome would have been deisrable just as it would have been diserable for her not to have signed The Anglo Irish Agreement which also endanged this countrys right to self Governance although this has been outstripped ny Blairs deciet and betryal in that area.


On ecnomics Mrs Thatcher was right and has been proved right in my view, in other areas she was wrong.

The Iron Lady was indeed quite rusty and did have some embarrassing foul ups but look at the alternative Michael Foot not only a left wing labour CND loony BUT even worse a Plymouth Argyle fan

Some of Mrs T's errors reducing the Armed forces which encouraged Argentina
Giving up on Hong Kong Not being strong on Europe and giving in to Heseltine Clarke Major et al

Bottling the leadership contest was a stupid mistake I wonder what might have been if Airey Neave had not been assassinated and the Brighton bomb had not struck.

Quote "People who hate "Thatcher" have very short memories, or they're just reporting what the left wing has told them!"

I went on the kirkcaldy miners picket lines during the strike when there was a mass demo. I hated Thatcher [ my mother still thinks she is God].

Now i find my views changed 100% funny old world.
I used to believe the death peanalty was wrong but my religeon supports it and I have a page on my website about Quislings, Traitors or Collaborators and info about how they should hung, drawn and quartered.
QUISLINGS & COLLABORATORS
QUISLINGS & COLLABORATORS

and a number of names of what I believe are people guilty as QUISLINGS & COLLABORATORS.

Perhaps I shoud gather a list of names of people willing to do the hanging, drawing and quartering.
Please not I am a vegitarian and refuse to kill any living thing except

Caroline Flint is a dodgy one. I had this about her a while back. I wouldn't trust her much!
