Maggie Thatcher & The Government

I'm sorry if you were offended by my view "Flo' Rida", but my jibe was aimed at the politicians of BOTH sides and the politics they peddled.

It's an old chestnut that political flaws be covered up by diverting public opinion through war mongering. The Argentinian Fascists were at it, as were the British Fascists and as usual "Tommy Atkins" and pals lost their limbs, sight and lives.

Thatcher suffered from a mental illness that deluded her into believeing she was the "Female Churchill" At least Churchill had the bollocks to be at Sydney Street himself, as if Thatcher and her buffoons ever had the nerve to go to Orgrieve, or even the Falklands themselves.

Year's of service to "The Queen"? her uncle Edward 7th was a Nazi collaborator, had your predecessors lost the Second World War, those feckers would have changed sides at the snap of a finger.

Look pal, when you as a professional serviceman go to war you do so with the funding and the political mandate of the people of this country not for the bloody Queen. So if the people turned on the Royalists and the Establishment you would wage war on the public would you? Like the police did in the Trafalgar Square Poll Tax riot that spelt the beginning of the ditching of Mad Thatcher by the scared Tories. Like they did during the Miners' Strike.

So people who wear the "Crown" insignia on their uniforms give that precedence over the people of this country eh?

This country was NOT in danger of invasion by the Argentinians as it was by the Germans. It was no more interested in the population of those islands than it was in those of the Channel Islands in the Second World War. They were seemed expendable in the greater national interest as YOUR life is by "The Queen" when it suits.

I have every respect for every professional military person and conscript too, I do not respect those political opportunists who use them and abuse them.

My right to free speech and security has been put in much greater peril by the likes of Thatcher and B Liar and their profile boosting war mongering than any foreign threat such as that posed during REAL wars.

Intelligent countries and their electorate who enjoy far higher standards of living than we do, do so because they do not waste large percentages of the national purse of war mongering. You don't see the Scandinavian countries, Holland, France, Germany, Austria, or any other European country pursuing this American Republican arse licking.

When modern day Tommy's have to go out and buy their OWN suitable equipment to go and fight Bush and B Liar's war in the Middle East and Afghanistan and still stand stiffly to attention and toast "The Queen", I can only shake my head in disbelief. When I survey all hell and destruction about me in our own capital city through the bitterness and warp mindedness of extremists brought upon us by B Liar's idiotic pandering to the USA, I get rather offended too as it happens.

Like I said, I'm sorry YOU got offended, but I find the ludicrous patriotism and faux celebratory mood of triumph surrounding such things as The Falklands Conflict highly offensive.

I couldn't agree more Aussie......................even YOUR Aussie ostriches don't bury their heads in the sand as deeply as so many do in THIS country!

Emus Merse, their Emus unless you are refering to Ozzy Ostrich from the t.v show Hey Hey I`t`s Saturday!

Where's the hostility?

I don't think there's any doubt that our newspapers and news media report from a British perspective. I was simply making the observation that something similar occurs in other places too.

Referring to someone's uncle and one through who's personal conduct The Queen owes her present day priveleged postion in society is hardly "going back generations" is it?

You bring personal abuse into the argument and call me a "shallow little man" ~ who do you think you are, some buffoon on a drill square peering out at me from under a ridiculously pulled down peaked cap?

Edward 7th was threatened with court martial by Winston Churchill ~ FACT . He had to be banished and taken by Naval escort to the Bahamas because he was snivelling in Lisbon with Nazi guards on his properties in Paris ~ FACT.

He had been photographed reviewing Nazi troops and giving the Nazi salute whilst guys who had "sworn allegience" to him, as "apolitical" Head of State; laid down their lives.

Again, I am not disrespecting serving personel; I am illustrating the dispicable way they are and always have been, treated by the establishment.

How did your predecessors in the Second World War feel when Ribbentropp and Hitler were proclaiming Edward as a Nazi sympathiser and someone they would re-instate as Head of State once the invasion was completed?

Nothing to do with ancestry, purely FACTS!

Why then did the Royal Historian, Owen Morshead; get dispatched to Friedrichshoff in 1945 to retrieve letters sent between Hitler and Edward if not to protect the image of the Royal Family? Letters that were subsequently deposited in the Royal Archives where they remain to this day hidden away from public scrutiny? Why are they still under lock and key, why are they not available to the public to read for themselves?

If what I post is of "no interest" why do you respond to it?

You're coming over as out of your depth and unable to debate without throwing personal insult about
