Margaret THatcher
May see reason to rejoice the victory of the Falklands,but the families of more than 1000 men on both sides would not .

Firstly history will eventually note that this woman was due in her unpopularity to be kicked out of office at the next election.

The Falklands war was caused by her penny pinching ways (in 1980 she abolished free milk for school children hence the title Thacher the milk snatcher) much worse was to come,one of which engineered by he was the Falklands war. At the time we (Great Britain) had a weather station in the Falklands and a survey vessel. In order to save 500,000 pounds a year she closed the weather station and recalled everything connected to it,which meant lowering the union jack,thus signalling to the Argentinians that we were no longer interested in the Falklands.

To cover up her miserable cost cutting drastic error, she then launched a task force to retrieve the Falklands after the Argentinians had reclaimed it, this resulted in the loss of over 1,000 lives on both sides at a cost of 7,000,000 pounds. One could almost point out the old adage 'penny wise and pound foolish).

Now Mrs Thatcher has Alzeimers and through her memory loss reports her
glory days,what is glorious about loss of life in a futile war created by incompotence??????

Which is better than can be said of her scumbag son, MARK THATCHER.

There are 38 merceneries rotting in an african jail because this man turned Judas, some of them were his best friends.
They will get out of prison, sooner, or later.
Mark,you should have had better sense than to doublecross these people.
But then again, thank God, I'm not in your shoes.
