  1. But it was not the best idea in the world was it? Using a entire part of the uk as lab rats was a fuking disgrace and in part broght about the rise of arseholes like the snp
     
  2. Ok to insult a entire population of a city though?
     
  3. Ok she was not infalible, but she had vision and leadership.

    Two points

    If her policies were so bad how come labour didn't reverse them in three terms of power?

    She was a human being and a British Prime minister, the first female leader of any country in the modern western world, anyone who rejoices in her passing needs to look very closely in a mirror.

  8. J bker - yes, interesting question - how DID someone who committed his county's armed forces to more conflicts than any prime-minister since the second world war, including two illegal invasions, go from being a war criminal to a "peace envoy" ?

  10. Bizarre that someone who has at no time served in any of the armed forces in any capacity is to receive a "military funeral". Has that ever happened before?

  13. Members of the royal family are always honorary colonels-in-chief of various regiments, etc. So no.
     
  14. The posters on this forum are normally well disciplined when it comes to trading views / opinions / insults / piss taking.

    This should stop short of personal insults against individual posters, whether you agree with them or not.

    PS I don't think his name is Dick.

  15. "Served" and "Honorary" do not mean the same thing. So yes.

  16. insult the entire population of a city and dont be surprised if a member of said city then calls that person a dick. Normal joking is fine between rival citys, that was looking down his nose at a lot of people, thought my response was pretty tame

  18. Have I interpreted your point correctly...."normal joking" is from someone in a specific "rival city" (how is this defined?), otherwise, the same words from someone in a different geographic location is an insult?

  19. No apology needed in terms of having an opinion and flying your colours.

    However, are you seriously saying that the democracy we have in this country, and for which many many people have fought for and given their lives to protect, is a waste of time?
