That would certainly be a case of sour grapes.

I think you'll find Argentina started that war!!!!

Dont you see the point, it was SOCIAL housing there for people who could not afford to buy their own home, and then when they moved on it went to the next family. It was not there to be bought for a pittance and sell on at a profit

That is what I said squiggle, she started the policy, she rampt up the price of housing. She did not, however, provide cheap housing for those who couldn't afford it.

Sorry G Joe
I should have said something like "I thought all 3 parties had been negotiating."

But I respect that everyone has their own opinion about the current situation, and
I am sure there are many different readings of what has been going on.
Good wishes 

More of making a point actually, the amount of hatred towards Gordon Brown was unbelievable... he was even blamed for the iceland volcano.

Sour grapes is what that fat ass adam boulton demonstrated yesterday

oh I will have to read up on that, sounds like a good read. I would have loved to see them two going at it

It's a little more complex than that. It has been suggested that our government gave the Argentine government junta bunch of fascists, the green light.  When Callaghan was in power and the Argentines were ready to invade he sent a show of force but Thatcher did not. An avoidable war perhaps.

Ironically, it led to the removal of some rather dodgy people from power.

LOL  I feel that sour grapes may continue as they didnt get their outright majority government

With respect she did not ramp up the price of housing, the housing market is fairly unpredicable.  As a matter of fact I strongly disagreed with the sale of council houses but please don't blame her now for the fact that after years of Labour government hardly any first time buyers can afford to own their own property.

the lectern's out.....

 why do you think that is

I will laugh GJ because I saw how you 'Labour types' went totally mad yesterday when you thought you had a deal.  You even sacrificed your party leader to try to secure it.

What do you find so funny squiggle I was only answering lal when she asked what war

Interesting fact:  Tony Blair got around the same number of votes when he got in for the first time, and got 66 more seats.  Then they changed the boundaries - results much less seats for the same number of votes.

I love everybody, me, I do   (well nearly everybody)

Sorry Marge I really shouldn't laugh but just got a mental picture of Margaret Thatcher invading the Falklands single-handed.

I often wandered if the Queen made her stand or something when she had to go and see her weekly. Probably not though.  Just a quick word on the Falklands and I know everybody has a different oppinion on this, but Argentina didn't just invade, they were talking with the British Government and she wouldn'd give an inch. I remember Parkinson gabbling on about the necessity (sp) of defending British territory, but it could have been avoided.

Not in this household.

...or this.

New Labour will be remembered in the history books as the party who almost crippled the country with the worst national debt levels in living memory.

Tory and LD will be remembered as a progressive alliance who reform our politics, dragging it into the 21st century, while also dragging us out of debt, bringing stability and prosperity to us all.

ALL HAIL DAVID CAMERON !!

Lol Blame the Labour Party....Cameron didnt win the election

or.....this

Because, even after 13yrs, Labour STILL haven't introduced a way to make it easier for first time buyers...all the houses that have been built and the vast majority have been for private buyers...not for rental/affordable housing...YES, Thatcher did bring in the right-to-buy...but Labour, in 13yrs have found no solution to the lack of council housing. They have been quick enough to sell off land for private developments...so why not build affordable/council/housing asosiation housing on some of this....or maybe the money involved was too tempting for the local councils...

As delusional as Paris Hilton...

I can't compete with worldclass sarcasm/irony like this! You are indeed the master.
*bows down*

And that's what we liked about her.  And incidentally speaking just for myself of course I liked the way she stood for no nonsense from the French and German premiers.  We need someone to stand up for our rights again in that way.

Can I lend your crystal ball

Who is going to bail us out if the proverbial is going to hit the fan. The IMF is who, then we'll all know how bad life can get. Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Spain are going to be protected by the Eurozone, to which we contribute, but will not benefit if we go down.

Can you imagine what it does to a party who reverses the right to buy? In this area I would say that Tavistock and Plymouth are going to join up in the next twenty years if the building of affordable housing carries on the way it does, but the core problem cannot be addressed because these places will be owned soon too and the problem will go round for ever unless somebody has the guts to go back to the old policy of a council house being just that.

I didn't say to reverse the right to buy...but why couldn't they fund the building of new homes for council/housing association houses?? We have had a lot of new housing estates built in out area over the last 10yrs...they are supposed to have had a percentage of the houses for housing association use...yet only one of the estates has done this (out of 6)...surely the govt should have insisted that they adhered to their promise?? Also..there are, as Clegg pointed out, 1000's of empty houses in this country...why couldn't they have used these for council housing?? There have been solutions to the lack of housing they have just chosen not to see them...

And were *economical with the truth* and dragged us into an illegal war!

The saviour of 21st century politics is now in his rightful place, 10 Downing Street.  What a wonderful day this has ended up being.  David Cameron and his beautiful wife looked very much the part, stood outside the door of 10 Downing Street, receiving their rapturous applause.

Bazille, those dark days are behind us.  The grey cloud of dispair which has hovered over our proud country has suddenly been lifted.  A new sense of hope and prosperity, a real feel-good-factor can be felt in all corners of the UK.  Cameron is here to save us, and I salute him.

IMO it is returning after 13 years away...

 get away with ya.....

Oh and Spider.... in the spirit of national unity.... you can call me Baz
