You just don't like it when I show that Wades World isn't the Real World.

She didn't destroy them, competition destroyed them. Eastern Europeans mined coal for peanuts wages and we couldn't compete. But look on the bright side - we are still sitting on a mountain of coal so it's there for the future - unlike our bullion reserves that that idiot Brown sold off at rock bottom prices.

Immigration is the problem imo. We keep letting people in and supply and demand comes into play.

Unbelieveable how she got that far. Common as muck. She made scary spice look classy.

Don't rise to the trolls.

latest Apprentice odds Stella English 4/6 Chris Bates 11/10

Chris will win. Stella would make a great receptionist/pa, but that isn't what Alan Sugar is looking for.

The community charge wasn't a fair tax. That said I agree about houses with mutiple earners. If you could somehow blend the community charge with rates I think you'd have a fair tax.

"Under this Government, Britain will not return to the boom and bust of the past."

You forget the greatest empire the world has ever seen. Videos like this make me feel so proud. As the great Cecil Rhodes said "Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggdudSsR4BM

I met Douglas Hurd when he was Foreign Secretary. He was another great Tory.

I was in a bar in Turkey (some Socialist scouse gits on the next table) watching SKY news as the results were read out. David Winning. David Winning. David Winning. Ed Won. Funny as **** how your Unions have screwed your party up.

That's how the Tories do it.

And what about the Unions funding Labour and choosing the party leader?

Dame Edna?

You don't believe all that clap trap do you? I'm firmly behind Pontius Pilate. Jesus was a terrorist and was simply turned into a Martyr following the decline of the Roman Empire. As it's strength weakened Rome created a religion to maintain control.

Thatcher on the Belgrano: I love the flash in her eyes in this interview. A truely great leader.

Notice the big buy at the end of November. I can see Hardy Oil hitting 300 before the new year and then going some.

My favourite Maggie clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h03_QbqhHg

You've got to admire her. "The conference will go on". How very British. Makes me feel so proud. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXTJ6g3no5M

So name some greater women? As far as great British women go there's Maggie, Florence Nightingale, Boudicea, and now i'm struggling.

Feel free to start a "Gordon Brown/Tony Blair are the greatest men the world has ever known" thread. We could do with a laugh.

Thorpe-Le-Saint made personal request.

Sorry Thorpie, you also asked for a quote from the Iron Lady. Here you go. "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."
