Falkland oil find

[Bassman62]

All the North Sea Oil revenue went on financing the unelployment and benefits payments to 'Maggies millions' as they shut down the country's industries.

But North Sea Oil & Gas started in the late 60s, long before Thatcher came to power.

True but a hell of a lot of gas and oil flowed before Maggie came to power and her policies wouldn't have been implimented to take effect immediately.

The point that I'm making is that inflation and the economy were running amok whilst the oil and gas were flowing in the 70s, so where was the money going.

I'd like people to be made aware that the benefit is supposed to be for all not as it was with the spoils of the British Empire just for the chosen few.

its only a matter of time before the U.S. claim the falklands are a hot bed of terrorism and invade.

Instead of proping up failing business?

How can we claim oil that is thousands of miles away from this country. What right do we have to steal all this mineral wealth ? None whatsoever ! No wonder this little third rate island nation of ours is so disliked worldwide ! Thatcher knew their was oil there 30 years ago. Her husband was a director of burma oil. Do you honestly believe she wanted to protect penguins and a few thousand sheep ? The oil companies will have another massive pay day ! Never mind about the troops that gave their lives in the Falklands conflict. You honestly think the only reason we are in Afgahn in to kick out the Taliban ?
