Don Rizzle:
no one could garrantee what the argentinians would do with these people, the islanders wanted to stay british where they are free to run their own affairs, as do those in gibralta and as the inhabitants their wishes should be respected.

Nothing to do with the looming elections of margaret thatcher and the dictator of argentina in real problem and in danger of feeling the full effects of a coup then.

economic recovery was already under the way as a result of tory policies which most likely had seen them through the next election even without the war, but there is no doubt it did boost the popularity of the government. it was a decisive part of our modern history, I believe maggie thatcher acted absolutely correctly and showed the world britain is not a soft touch, which was very important during the cold war and is still benificial today.

+1 for this topic honey, i know people who were (and still are affected by this), it was not a light action by any party and i wish we had a prime minister with bollocks today
lol no pun intended but maggie would not have been pushed into anything by anyone, shw oriignally fought against the eu...which is turning out to be more and more of a problem
(not just to the uk but it has caused problems to the people of other nations ie italy, spain etc etc, whereby forced price rises in stable produce - bread, milk, cheese, water, not mention gas electricity etc)
Don Rizzle:

If we had "A Time To Remember" thread for every group of people the British have fucked, TOT might as well be changed to the History of Britain.
