General Discussion
@neilh Unless you post in English, I haven't a clue what you are on about.
@Lynne Despite official Tory policy being pro-union I am sure there are many Tories who would be delighted to see the back of the 40 Scottish Labour MPs, it will make their chances of being elected to government in England and Wales so much easier. I daresay the Scots won't give a damn about Westminster if they achieve indepenence, likewise we won't give much of a damn about Scotland either.
The Tories will love it if the Scots do vote for independence, that will be around 40 Labour MPs removed from Parliament in future elections. Labour might never form another government.
@neilh I seem to remember that during the conflict the only people in this country who referred to the Falklands as Malvinas were left wingers, who sided with Argentina.
@neilh So thousands didn't die then? Your anti-Thatcher poem is factually incorrect. During the illegal occupation the islands were still known as the Falklands, they have never been known as the Malvinas in this country, another part of your poem which is incorrect.
@neilh What do you mean by "hundreds, thousands were gone"?
It wouldn't be so bad if neilh was factually correct, but that would be too much to hope for. And his use of the word Malvinas shows exactly where his sympathies lie.
The FA has already said there won't be a minute's silence at Wembley this weekend, so nothing to discuss really. Just one of the usual suspects trying to stir up yet more anti-Thatcher feeling.
Jackson is a Champagne socialist representing the Hampstead set. She has below average attendance at the Commons, and is wisely standing down at the next election after scraping in by only 42 votes in 2010. I doubt she will be missed.
Glenda Jackson, remembered mainly for getting her kit off in films in the 60/70s. Now representing one of the wealthiest constituencies in the country, she must see lots of hardship there.
