Thatcher

[ynnafymmi]

It is now 10 years since Thatcher died.She was enabled into power by the SNP back in 1979.I wonder if any of the SNPers on here now regret their choice?

[And so to conclude]...

Partway through all this I began to wonder if I had slipped into an alternative Universe. I know now that I didn’t. So now you’ve asked the same near-identical question at least nine times and received a near-identical answer at least nine times we seem to have established (not that there was ever any doubt) that the SNP voted against the Callaghan Government and that vote led to a general election in which Mrs Thatcher was triumphant. So can we now hear your views on how you believe the SNP enabled Mrs Thatcher into power, what would have happened if they had voted with the Callaghan government in the VonC and how you support your statement that Thatcherism was a construction of the SNP?

Given your meticulous attention to detail, New Judge, I'd have thought you'd recognise a heidbanger when you saw one and give a wide berth.

[New Judge]

Indeed duggie, but I do like to get my point across.

'Partway through all this I began to wonder if I had slipped into an alternative Universe'

Weren't we discussing this the other day? I think we were.

[New Judge]

I can't remember! :-)

[Zacs-Master]

Sorry, who are you?

[ynnafymmi]

No offence taken chaps.I asked a question and i just got obfuscation.Perhaps my question should have been-"Did the SNP vote with Thatcher or did they vote with Callaghan".Seems to have electrified and united both the English nationalists(i.e.NJ),and the Scottish nationalists(i.e.Duggie).Miffy laughs at being called a heidbanger.Tee-hee.

//I asked a question and i just got obfuscation.//

I think the record I provided of the exchanges proves precisely the opposite. But you obviously have a different view.

[ynnafymmi]

So a simple question,NJ.Did the SNP vote with Thatcher or did they vote with Callaghan?A simple yes or no will do.

[Zacs-Master]

They voted with Thatcher and against Callaghan.

Can we move on now or close the thread?

[ynnafymmi]

Thank you,Zacs.The SNP voted with and for Thatcher and against a socialist Callaghan.Post now closed.

[perseverer]

..... and you voted SNP in the 1979 GE?

[tomus42]

Shouldn't this whole discussion have taken place in the history section?

[ynnafymmi]

@22.49.Yes....and your point being?

[ynnafymmi]

@22.58.No,Thatchers death ten years ago was in the news this past week.

[New Judge]

//Shouldn't this whole discussion have taken place in the history section?//

I think much of it need not have taken place at all. To ask a question nine (now ten) times and receive the same (correct) answer nine (now ten) times, all the time complaining that the question had not been answered correctly or at all, does seem a little odd.

Perhaps some artificial Intelligence is taking over from the real thing on some people's computers.

[davebro]

No - AI would make more sense.

[THECORBYLOON]

If AI = "Absent Intelligence", that would be more appropriate...

[ynnafymmi]

Post now closed.The SNP voted with and for Thatcher and against the socialist government of Jim Callaghan.Post now closed.

Better off in the hysteria section.
