Harleyman Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 But the lack of flexibility for sovereign nations is making it worse than it needs to be. Not joining the Euro was one of Thatcher's very few successes. Add the succesful prosecution of the Falklands war, bringing to heel strike happy unions headed by leaders wuth political agendas and restoring Britain as a country to be respected throughout the rest of Europe and the world after decades of being referred to as the sick man of Europe. Not a bad record for any leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 5% interest rate rise in one day ant the still couldn’t prop up the pound and they have the cheek to accuse Brown of mismanagement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any Royal Marine or Para would tell you different British troops did perform superbly, but the Argies... they just got lucky with a single Exocet, that's all. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Bourne Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 And they had some successes with their Mirage figfhters also. Our Sea Harriers, and your all-aspect Sidewinder AIM-9L, took care of that little problem. Mind you, the UK <> US relationship was better under Reagan and Thatcher than it is now, presumably because Blair, slimy politician that he is, was only interested in feathering his own nest when bending over for both the US and Europe...

Berberis Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 The Euro is disappearing up its own backside because countries like Greece lied to get in in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
