Good old Communism eh?

Baldric; //Who took us (me) into The Falklands War...//
That war was initiated by Leopoldo Galtieri, Former President of Argentina not Margaret Thatcher, she simply responded to an attack on British sovereign territory.

[Baldric]

Khandro, We've already been there, see 20:25 then stop being so pedantic.

[Khandro]

10 Clarion; //Germany received all the economic aid from the USA to re-build the country, instead of the aid coming to Britain.//
You really need to bone up on some facts about the Marshall plan, many European countries received aid including Britain in the form of a loan, it wasn't a gift, it all had to be repaid by buying American goods and services.

[Khandro]

Baldric ; OK I didn't see that.

10 Clarion; Just checked with the Oracle (my historian wife) and learnt that Britain received 3 times as much aid as Germany, twice that of France. Every country received Marshall plan aid - The Netherlands, Italy, even Turkey, the smart and wealth creating move by America was that it could only be spent on buying goods and services from the USA, and it had to be paid back with interest. (I seem to think it was Gordon Brown who paid back the last instalment!)

It is a widely held misconception that the Marshall plan was some form of pure benevolence.

Nice little table on here under ‘Expenditure’

[Khandro]

Zacs, ^. Pretty good off the top of her head, particularly considering she was more interested in the morning paper and her coffee :0)

[ToraToraTora]

still nothing from the Labour luvvies about how they are going to re nationalise buck shee.

[emmie]

nor will you get any - lets not go back in time to the 70's, which i remember very well.

[Zacs-Master]

Khandro, yes very impressive.

How sick is that ,a poster on here goes to Twickenham for the day and spends all the time thinking what he can write on answer bank for when arrives home,
Think he needs to get a life , how sad.

[Spicerack]

He was funny, though, Gullible. Don't you think?

[Spicerack]

Not really, Gully.
Not your fault. Lefty just don't do funny.

[gulliver1]

Let's not forget, Thatcher was also a Terrorist Sympathiser. Just look at her close relationship with the late
Augusto Pinochet, " Chile." she was a very close friend of his. inviting him to the UK for health treatment lets hope the NHS did not pay for it .

[ToraToraTora]

any Labour supporter care to tackle the original question?

[gulliver1]

RELATED!

In the cold light of day referring to Gulliver as retarded was wrong.

Halfwit is a fair description though.
