Someone needs to sort out the EU dumping ground for sure, it a bloody joke.

I agree, we orta send the fucking lot back to Europe. Particularly those septic English class war refugees, they spread infectious, seditious shit everywhere thay go.

From what I have read, they didn't like seeing Ghurkas... Not one little bit.

Doing Dick Emery impersonations...."We British....."

Chair whilst typing yes. Military service, yes. Albeit not in a combat zone but a closer step to everyday citizens. Military tradition in family, yes very certainly and very proud of it..

Your lack of empathy would be interpreted by many psychologists as stemming from not being cuddled as an infant.

Probably your right wing ideals as well.
No offence intended.
Just an objective observation/opinion.

Sorry I dont find socialist and pacifist dogma cuddly subjects. How about empathy for the British subjects on the Falklands who firmly wanted to remain British subjects?

If ever there is a case for human cloning Maggie is a prime example for such possibilities, as is Enoch Powell.

I will remember the Tory pin up girl fondly, as will many

Doing Dick Emery impersonations...."We British....."

Yes and it took a notable British actress and her actions to embrass Gordon Botchup Brown and his Labour lot to accept that Gurkhas had a right to retire in Britian. Infinitely moreso than many they deserve such gratitude.

I have to say that I joined up after seeing gunnies do this sort of thing in 1982. Still here!

Yup another 'visionary' Politician whom History has proven right....... His 'River's of Blood' speech was 100% on the money... as we all saw 20 yrs later in brixton, toxteth et al.

Enoch Powell? He sounds like a bloke in touch with average life on the streets:

"Before entering politics, he had been a classical scholar, becoming a full Professor of Ancient Greek at the age of 25. During the Second World War, he served in both staff and intelligence positions, reaching the rank of brigadier in his early thirties. He also wrote poetry, his first works being published in 1937, as well as many books on classical and political subjects" Wiki

Errrrr, maybe not.........

Brixton riots? Many social commentators attribute those riots to the effects of Margaret Thatchers policies: she lead the country into 2 recessions, and presided over record unelmpoyment not seen since the Great Depression. In 1979 13.4% of the population lived under the 60% median income threshold, by 1990 it had gone up to 22.2% (from the Institute of Fiscal Studies). She sold off the council houses, creating a massive shortage of affordable housing, as no new stock was built to replace the houses sold. Some 5 million people are now on the social housing waiting list.

" Last month, the Daily Mirror reported that Charles Gow, the son of Mrs. Thatcher’s housing minister, Ian Gow, bought 40 of the 120 former council flats in one housing project in Roehampton, in South West London. Rents for the former council flats have soared, leaving some low-income tenants begging for higher rental subsidies. “Speculators have made millions out of exploiting public assets,” Tony Belton, a Labour councillor in South West London, told the Mirror. “It stinks.” From http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...ticle11015971/

You reap what you sow, and given the booming inequality in the UK, generational unemployment, and social disfunction, it's hard not to argue that Margaret Thatcher sowed the seeds for the discontent that continues to this day.

Spud, I would have thought indifferent administrations for roughly 20 or more years prior to Maggie sowed a lot of seeds that turned very ugly. When she took over the country was bankrupt of funds and work ethic.
