  48. ^ Well that's a lot of tired guardian cliches you've recited... but nothing more. 1. The Falklands was a significant conflict in the eyes of all whom mattered. Not acting would have been a national humiliation, and demonstrated that the UK wasn't committed to protecting her territory or people. By all means call Falklanders worthless to their faces... but you'll need a lot more insurance if you do :P . 2. Overstatement much?. UK Manufacturing had been in decline for twenty years prior to 1979. From Cars to Shipbuilding, most of it was already dead in all but name. (or does the detail that Labour closed more coal mines, railways & shipyards between 1964 - '70 than Thatcher in twice as much time not fit your narrative? :P ) 3. False. Thatcher got the UK the rebate, whilst Bliar gave most of it away for nothing. By 1986 the penny had dropped on the EEC's cronies trying to woo the Labour Party (successfully) to Euro-Federalism, which they'd regret as Thatcher theteafter kickstarted euroskepticism on the center-right, where hitherto there'd been little. (the founder of UKIP himself [the only reason we finally got an EU Referendum] admitted that one of her speeches started the precursor to said party) 4. Rioting Miners*. That latter aspect is always overlooked. They came looking for a fight (literally, as most were bused in far-left radicals), and got one. The government runs the country, not mob rule. That; and simce when were Cops not "armed"?. (even in Victorian times they were armed, albeit with Swords instead of Truncheons) 5. Community Charge*, and technically not a creation of Thatcher's. The same government replaced it with the Council Tax we still use today... so... big deal.

  51. Translation: You're just another Toryphobe, out for an argument, reality and facts be damned. (debunking basically everything you've stated hasn't been difficult) A~and really, "liars all" is the best you can come up with?. You do know that's what ALL politicians do as part of their job... right? :P . (not heard the ", his lips are moving!" joke I see, among other things) As for claiming I don't know you're claiming to being in the leave camp, you missed this: 'Ironic though that you say she should've gotten us out of the EEC (no easy feat at the time), yet belittle the UK and its overseas commitments, as all remoaners do.' Ironic also; because Thatcher would admit after leaving office (and its proverbial hall of mirrors concealing daggers), that we should leave the EEC. It wouldn't be until the latter turned into the EU though, that the grounds for another referendum - which Bliar considered as a public rubber stamping exercise but then chickened out on after fearing he'd lose - were there. Having two Referendums on the EEC was simply not going to happen, nor should've (neverendum situation much?). Gaining a pro-leaving majority on parliament though (as Peter Hitchens stated as his preference) and leaving the EEC manually, that would've worked... at MP's dissillusioned with the EEC made up enough of parliament in the late-'80's / '90's, which it didn't :/ . P.S. I voted Brexit Party once, when it suited to do so. After all I don't consider any MP that doesn't believe in the UK being an independent nation, or at least put the will of their electorate above personal ideology, as worthy of being an MP at all. In short: If the leave MP for my constituency most likely to win is blue, light blue, purple or otherwise; they'll get my vote :P . (said candidate probably will be tory, as they aren't stupid; my area voted out with a firm majority and over 80% turnout)
