i agree seems a very strange person
-
so we can all laugh at his weird ideas and his ideas for a master race composed of dune clones, the type of person the tories are trying to get rid off:lol:
-
what a sad pathetic post are you really stuck in the 1950,s , but i suppose you always seem to try to wind people up with mindless comments and come across has a bit of a loner,
-
to be fair on a thread like this you will get alot of bigoted opinions who think they are doctors who do not understand depression which is a terrible illness and tar the shirkers with the genuine ill..
-
i think it only works at the moment because of our present queen who is liked and respected, but then you get the likes of prince charles who interferes on building projects not to his likeing ,which he should keep nose out of it and their is no reason we could elect a non party president
-
the queen maybe non politica and i respect her has a person but i would rather elect my head of state rather than having one family passing the baton on to the next generation and i doubt all the figures of the civil list are including everything and would happy to privatise the monarchy and its hangers on.
-
thats typical of dune ,this thread should have renamed thatchers Incapacity Slobs In The Firing Line seeing she put able bodied people on incapacity benefit after destroying their community's because of her mismanagement of the economy in her early years.
-
john Hutton, the Work and Pensions Secretary, told MPs that the 2.7 million IB claimants would remain on their current benefit level, but could see that reduced if they failed to engage in work-focused interviews and agree an action plan. Mr Hutton confirmed a target of taking one million people off IB in 10 years to save taxpayers up to £7bn a year. Accusing the Tories of pushing people on to IB to cut the jobless figures, he said: "It is time we brought this shameful legacy of Thatcherism to an end." If i remember it was Thatcher's government that introduced incapacity benefit. It was widely criticized at the time as a convenient method of reducing the unemployment figures. good old maggie now her own tory party is cleaning up her mess thank god.

i agree the way they have treated our fellow saints fans with lack of what they planned to do- smacks of arrogance,it is a disgrace,i for one will not buy the new saints shirt ,programs or merchandise in future untill they treat us fans with respect. -
privatise the army and let the markets decide:D that way we get a more efficient army ,mind you the article does make you think.
-
i agree with you at least the truth has come out what happened that day and its time to move on.
-
trust you to change the subject,we are talking about the innocent victims of bloody sunday not about the ira . .

oh dear aa,s at it again http://www.sportingintelligence.com/2010/06/15/portsmouths-administrator-pretty-certain-of-75-per-cent-vote-for-cva-150607/

sorry delldays but the enquiry was one of the most damming ever,thats why cameron apologised for the actions of those who did wrong,they are even named and one officer even disobeyed his superiors with his actions that day. i,m glad innocent people who grieved for their beloved ones today finally got justice and the truth after 40 years.
-
The prime minister said the Saville inquiry showed soldiers lied about their involvement in the killings, and that all of those who died were innocent. He said the inquiry was absolutely clear and there were no ambiguities about the conclusions. "What happened on Bloody Sunday was both unjustified and unjustifiable. It was wrong," Cameron told the Commons
-
murder of innocent civilians covered up by the government at that time is disgusting. 40 years for the family s to get justice at last. they had no weapons and one guy shot in the back twice,the inquiry was damning of those involved that day. its not about making excuses ie ira or british soldiers .
-
got to agree i,m well impressed with the android operating system on my brothers phone and think that may be the way to go in the future.
-
its clear from the reply s that alot of posters on this forum did not think she was the greatest prime minster apart from the usual suspects who i expect lined their pockets along with the richest people of the country while the poor were treated like dirt . shes gone yesterdays news you either loved her or hated her. to me i,m glad to get away from living under that dark period, when i nearly lost my home threw her government mismanagement of the economy and working a 2 day week and high interst rates and vat doubling in the early years of her administration. i,m glad we have moved on from the divisive policys of the 70s and 80s from the nutty right and nutty left.

no she made major policy mistakes but to the blinkered thatcher worshippers she was perfect,despite a overvalued pound due to high interest rates which destroyed large parts of our industrys and having to use northsea oil to pay for the mass unemplyment if it was not for the falklands war she would have been thrown out of office for her mismanagement of the economy at that time. Howe’s budget of 1981 was a catastrophic, unforgiveable mistake, clinging to the wreckage of monetarism long after any reasonable person would have abandoned it, leading to one of the deepest (and least necessary) recessions on UK history; as was Lawson’s expansionary budget of 1988 based on the arrogant belief that he had conquered the business cycle.

what utter nonsense With regard to her ambition to curb inflation, she presided over a doubling of inflation between 1979 and 1980, from around 10 to over 20 per cent, and a return to 'double-digit' inflation at the end of the 1980s. Myth and reality - aren't they wonderful? At one stage Thatcher thought the money supply and the rate of interest were the same thing. In an interview with Peter Jay she displayed little knowledge of the monetarism she had espoused. Jay subsequently joked that explaining monetarism to Thatcher was 'like showing Genghis Khan a map of the world'. The results were disastrous, as unemployment soared from an inherited 1 million (when the Thatcherites proclaimed 'Britain isn't working') to 2 and then 3 million. Britain suffered its worst recession since the war: and, so far from enjoying an industrial or entrepreneurial miracle, we experienced one of the slowest rates of economic growth ever. When the (Nigel) Lawson Boom ended in tears, and Thatcher bowed to pressure to enter the European exchange rate mechanism in 1990 at a dangerously high exchange rate - she wanted it even higher - the stage was set for the next-worst recession since the war (the worst, in the south east, because the industrial north absorbed the brunt during the early 1980s). For all the need for Britain to change its ways after the troubled times of the 1970s, the economy's growth rate under Thatcher did not even compare favourably with the bald old 'consensus' days.

good post sums her up.not a great prime minister compared to post war giants but a bit better then most since the war.
-
no i think cameron is a one nation tory unlike maggie who only cared for the top 10 % of the richest in the country .
-
