.......... I sometimes despair of you Chris. Most of us knew it was an unlawful war right from the beginning, did you not watch Blair and co spin and turn trying to justify it? Perhaps the Daily Mail didn't give out the information the rest of us got. 30 million people worldwide marched against the invasion. Prime Minister Harold Wilson didn't get involved with the Vietnam War. |

I think if you haven't been moderated for your language then it is accepted. What? |

Not sure why they are commenting on the death of a PM when they are no longer UK citizens?? John, "they" are still UK citizens and even if they weren't they are still entitled to make whatever comments they like. It reminds me of the old argument for apartheid in South Africa. You were not allowed to have an opinion because you had never been there and therefore wouldn't understand. Well some of us are intelligent creatures and we can gather information from all different sources. You see, it's not just about how we are affected individually, but how thatcher's policies affected a whole swathe of the population, how the infrastructure of the country was decimated, communities and manufacturing jobs destroyed, how vulnerable people ended up sleeping in doorways. I could go on and on but the list has already been posted. The floodgates were opened and permission for selfish and individualistic behaviour was given with little regard for the lasting effect on the culture of what had been a caring and inclusive society which looked after people. For some of us, there is such a thing as society and we are all responsible for each other. Unfortunately the thugs in charge today are continuing the smash and grab. Yes, thatcher began the latest bout of the class war and so it continues... |

@dear Chris I don't mean to offen but the use of Astreicks is something i'll probably have trouble not being able to use we have a very courlful language here in oz Glenn, I like your colourful language. Please don't stop or otherwise I will be offended. I think if you haven't been moderated for your language then it is accepted. |

You're just confirming what I've posted. "Took to the brink" Did we get there? I agree with you. I left the Labour Party with many other people when Blair took away clause IV in 1995. Blair/Brown, they are of the same ilk as Cameron. "New Labour" moved to the right and there is no way it could be called a party of the "lefties". The Labour Party should have put a halt to thatcherism, but didn't, they carried on the neoliberal project. I look forward to the day when Blair is put on trial for war crimes |

Ex top cop: "Margaret Thatcher took us to the brink of becoming a police state" I don't think the ex deputy chief constable of Greater Manchester, John Stalker, is by any means a bleeding heart liberal. |

Thatcherism was a national catastrophe that still poisons us Also, speaking of the company people keep, check out some of the unsavoury characters that Thatcher hung around with. If you need a list I will supply one later on. |

Don't worry Es, we wouldn't let him in the country. The UK Border Agency might be pretty incompetent, but even they would refuse entry to known psychotics. He was that guy? |

When one lives in Canada, everything below the 49th is south. I think it's time to build a wall Robert, just like the Israeli one. |

Pope resigns
(Message 1337379)

Sadly I don't think they'd have Es - on two grounds: she's too sensible, and she's woman. You do have a role model as in Popess Joan who was dismissed as a "figment of the imagination" naturally. I believe in her. |

Have Soaps lowered the tone?
(Message 1306026)
Posted 188 days ago by Hev
As a strident female myself I must be one of the gullible. I was so thrilled to be able to catch up with Eastenders after leaving the UK. I can't get BBC iPlayer here but people upload the soaps to youtube so I can watch them on the same day as in the UK. I also caught up with Casualty, another good one, and quite subversive in it's way. What lowered the tone in the UK was thatcherism, changed the culture into the greedy mess that we now have. |

Who is Paula Broadhips? Thanks Angela, I suppose I asked the question because I was annoyed by another woman being described as body parts. Other than that I haven't been following the story, I shall go away and be grumpy somewhere else, but yes, keep a very sharp eye on that Eric :D |

Not move back to, but move to Hev ... We can both vote in the referendum if we move back to Scotland and are living there, but then so can anyone living in Scotland at the time. I did check to see if I could vote from afar. Does being born in Darjeeling give you another nationality? You can never have too many passports as far as I'm concerned. |
