Thatcher and Blair, 2/2/82-7/7/05
I know there will be some of you who will disagree, and some who may agree, but thats the beauty of discussion forums.
I believe,
that in 1982, Margaret Thatcher allowed the Argentinian invasion, she knew they were making noises in that direction, but did nothing, at the time, she was not doing well in the polls.
I believe,
That this present goverment, ludicrous as it sounds, allowed this terrorist attack to happen, they may not have known when and where, but they knew it was going to happen, yet they downgraded the terrorist alert, and now, no enquiry. very fishy.
Just wondered what others might think on this.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Hello again Chessman. a more considered answer this time. the Argentinian leader a the time General Galtierri ( if my spelling is correct ) really did need to do something popular with his people, i think the country was in serious financial trouble, so he decided to invade the Falklands to avert attention away from the matter!!! M Thatcher had her faults but she always did what she thought was right for the UK , and she had no alternative but to protect UK citizens. Shortly arter the war the General was thrown into prison. ( ha ha ) And on the second matter, the people responsible there are the people who preach that the ills of the world are all cause by evil westerners and who would, if they could ,kill all westerners. I don't think anybody in our government falls under that heading,do you. Lets never try to blame anybody other than the real culprits.
Come on people you couldn't be this stupid
Here we go again. Someone dares to stand up to the lefty ideology and what do the pinkos do. Oh yes - name calling. Thought we were out of the school playground.
Back to this thread, much as I dont like the present regime I'm very sure they did not allow anything to happen that they could not prevent. As for Maggie - what exactly was she supposed to do when they were making noises in that direction - set sail for Argentina. Wonder what all you dyed in the wool pinkos would have made of that.
Get real people. Tough decisions have to be made by people in power. It is not plain sailing whatever your belief.
