Blair, Corbyn And Pinochet Thatcher

[gulliver1]

The Tories seem to have conveniently forgotten . That when they call Corbyn and Blair terrorists.
Thatcher was not just a terrorist sympathiser but was also very close friends with one.
Thatcher gave very strong support to "Torture in Chief" General Pinochet of Chile, and called him a true friend.
She even invited him to tea at Downing St. She also personally lobbied against a terrorist prosecution for his war crimes.She personally conducted the whitewashing of his Terrorist Regime
Pinochet overthrew an elected Government in Chile to gain power and was supported by Thatcher.
Thatcher also classed Nelson Mandela's ANC as a Terrorist Organisation.

Oh come on JtH - what about Lloyd George and Hitler - surely we can't just sweep that under the carpet too?

As i said at 17.10.This is the state of the Labour Party and their supporters nowadays.

[jackthehat]

I haven't got time to be incandescent about them, just yet Dave.....I'm in the last vestiges (downgraded to being a bit irked) of being miffed about Wellington/Napoleon....

[sunny-dave]

I'll be right back after I've a nasty huff about the Duke of Monmouth and his treasonous pitchforkers.

From the time when Labour rooled the world - good left wing analysis for Gully:

[gulliver1]

Thatcher even lifted the arms embargo on Chile . That had been imposed by the previous Labour Government to enable her Govt to sell arms to Pinochet for him to carry on with his slaughter.

I keep on saying it, but how I wish AOG was still about and the news section was news. I really liked AB back then. Lots of arguments but usually intelligent ones.

[gulliver1]

Thousands of Citizens were herded into Chile's National football Stadium by Pinochets thugs. 40.000 were tortured, 32,000 killed , 200.000 fled into exile .
And to think Thatcher and her TORY Government supported the man who did this..........................................Unbelievable...................................

If your all so fed up with the poster ; why do you respond to each post ?

[Deskdiary]

I’m still annoyed about the Crusades - how very dare they.

//time you posted in the correct section?//

There isn't a section called "talking out of one's jacksy".

[Atheist]

Gulliver; keep it up. Lots here are too young to remember, and many are too old and Blimpish to give a toss. You are not alone.

[jackthehat]

I suppose, in my case, it's in the vain hope that the OP could post in the correct section of AB and post properly topical articles rather than opinion-pieces.
Live in hope.....die in despair, as they say.

[gness]

It's a form of caring, Baz. Imagine what it would do to blood pressure if nobody at all replied.

@18.26.Just thousands?Millions of Jews were murdered by a bunch of nationalist,socialists in the 1930s and 1940s.Yet Corbyn and his sheep-like followers on this site would like you to just ignore their anti-semitism.

[gness]

Not too young....certainly not Blimpish.....that gave me a chuckle so you need to fit me in somewhere, Atheist?

[gulliver1]

18.36 Atheist , Agree lots of short memories amongs the Cons on A/B.

[Atheist]

Jack; why do people get in such a froth about posts in the wrong category? When I say 'people' I mean people like you. Are you trying to gain a technical point to avoid a sensible response?

[pat2604]

Atheist, perhaps Gulliver could post in history rather than news and you could enjoy his posts. I am old enough to remember all mentioned events and more. It would be good to see more news in this section. Why are Gully's posts not removed and put in the correct sections by the editor these days?

[Mamyalynne]

It's a blatant misuse of the site and repeated reporting gets us no further down the line.

Topics aplenty to post in but this (yet again) is not a News question.

Take your soapbox elsewhere.
