So we have learnt the following from this thread....... plus a little more - quite varied!!!
1 Maggie was a policy genius
2a Maggie didn’t invade the Falklands the Argies did - I know that may shock a few but it was not her fault!!!
2b The Argies were in political turmoil which is the real reason the Falklands where invaded - their dictator needed a distraction. No doubt the removal of the boat made it easier, but many brave Royal Marine tried to fight them off. So much so the Argies couldn’t believe how few there were.
2c Yes we sank the Belgrano as it was inside the exclusion zone - which has been debated more than whether the World Cup Final goal was over the line though!! HMS Conqueror is the only UK Nuclear powered submarine to publicly admit to sinking an enemies boat.
2d She put a task force together and took them back and rightly so!!!
2e MI6 bought all the exorcets available on the market and made them not work - then we sold them to the Argies.
3a Scargill was a tw.. who wanted to bring the government down who recently was still fighting the NUM so he could keep his free London flat.
3b The miners strike was never by majority vote
3c The unions had to be brought heel and were.
3d None of Maggie’s new union laws were repealed by labour.
4a The fans at Hillsborough DID have some sort to play in the terrible incident ithey were there without tickets trying to push in.
4b The police where terrible and should have had the book thrown at them
5 Neil Kinock later admitted most of Maggie’s policies were right and he would have kept them
6 I am always right
7 Do not to argue with point 6 as it doesn’t always stand up
