Margaret Thatcher was furious over Irish support for Argentina on the Falklands War

I am heartbroken to realize that trivial Irish reamrks could brovoke the British lion. I realize tha e Falkland Islands are the Empire's center of gravity. As for Guinness, they provided the trucks to crush the 1916 rising.

Some posters need to check out the chronology of WW2. The major turning point in Europe was in June 1941, when the Nazis attacked the USSR, having abandoned plans to invade Britain...Pearl Harbor came later.

Merefalow - At least in 2013 we've got her funeral to look forward to, from whence she goes to meet Pinochet in Hell! In particular the British miners are already preparing celebrations. The World will get a shock when they see the UK's celebratory attitude to Thatcher's death. Then it's just Blair and GW Bush next! Tog go bog e!

hooligan6a, I was quoting towntroll not agreeing with him. As I noted, something much stronger than alcohol would be needed to induce his delusions.

Te amo Argentina y te extrano San Telmo! Love it there

mad bad and sad,she spoilt my christmass,she survived it.

Breaking News ... Ex English-British Conservative/Tory Party leader and British Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher linked to murder of 368 young Argentine Navy sailors cruising away from Islas de Malvinas exclusion zone during Falklands imperial conflict. Is reported as having presided over war council of British Imperial Army (BIA). Reputedly offered to instruct amateurs such as the Rt Hon Desmond 'Dessie' Ellis TD in the ignoble art of war.

Hardly anything to get excited about. After alltheres quite a queque to kiss her mams rear end.

Curtisjohnson, Come again, who saved what in WW2 ? The Brits were beat to their knees when the US came to their rescue. If it wasn't for the yanks you would be speaking German.

Says Woundedknee that sounds like you are constantly on the sauce, with the garbage you speak. Any news on the immigrants in Ireland? It's a while since you mentioned the Poles and the Paks as you call them. Idiot.

Bobby, if you post nonsense like that when you're 'óff the sauce', as you claim, maybe you should go back on it.

It has always been a hallmark of british "democracy" to silence any type of free speech regarding its nation mugging activities either by citizens or representatives of other nations (with regard to the former, I guess it's all part of that "unwritten constitution" of theirs).

Towntroll "Fancy upsetting the poor old woman --- just when she was going to give the Six Counties back, too!" "The UK were only trying to rightfully regain their land from an Invader - just the same as the Irish claimed they were (except it wasn't really theirs to reclaim!) ... and you left out the uncomfortable truth that Britain gave as much as they were allowed of Ireland back, granted living, working and voting rights from the outset to the grateful destitute Irish paupery without restriction or penalty on the mainland; and further, went on to save the world and the whole of Ireland from tyrannical foreign domination in WW2" These types of delusions require something far more potent than alcohol.

Your first comment sounds like you were being sarcastic. My brother lives in Dublin 15 years now, he could vote as soon as he registered. I believe it was 1985 British citizens can vote in Ireland. As for been on the sauce, i wish, working all over the Christmas, hey i will have the New Year.

Bobby: Have you been on the sauce too much? Kindly re-read my post and you will see I posed a straightforward question,and invite your answer as to when the British were allowed to vote in Irish elections!! ~~~ @ IrelandNorth your post is brilliant, but flawed stuff. Think: The UK were only trying to rightfully regain their land from an Invader - just the same as the Irish claimed they were (except it wasn't really theirs to reclaim!) ... and you left out the uncomfortable truth that Britain gave as much as they were allowed of Ireland back, granted living, working and voting rights from the outset to the grateful destitute Irish paupery without restriction or penalty on the mainland; and further, went on to save the world and the whole of Ireland from tyrannical foreign domination in WW2. ~~~ as John Bull, the Prophet, said "...Damned Aarsh! - best to leave them to go to Hell their own way!"
