Off Topic The Politics Thread

Still the best prime minister since Churchill

 

Assuming you were born in 1954 you just about qualify to have this opinion. Nobody younger than you could possibly confirm or deny.

 

A lot of that I can agree with.
Phillip Ausländer was the guy who's book I read. He discussed relationships between live and recorded events. I think we are diverting off what this was about. It's great having camera's/reports and such but it will never give the experience of actually being there. As I previously said, it just adds information to what you witnessed and sometimes not always the same?

 

As you correctly guessed yes I was,thank you for allowing me my opinion

 

Don't pay attention to Watford he went to school under Blair.

 

Any time, Pete.

 

Who did you go to school under?

 

Sadly he has made himself look a bit stupid and has resulted in sarcasm. At least Will is giving me a good run for his money?

 

I wouldn't have minded being under miss miller my science teacher

 

Dinky years: Harold Wilson and James Callaghan
later years: Margaret Thatcher

 

Amazing how much windmilling you’ve done because I dared call Thatcher an awful ****.

 

If you had the chance now though?

 

She did some fab stuff for this country but sadly many people got f22ked because of the change... which was needed.
(not people getting f22ked, I meant change).

 

When we are talking politics and history of cause the emotion felt is still relevant, it's not as important as facts if you want a balanced reflection of what actually occurred and the right or the wrongs of a situation. Something might feel right at the time and bring positive emotion however will only lead to further suffering.. Can't think of a current example

 

Think yourself lucky as I was growing up we had bloody power cuts all the time and strikes where all the rubbish piled up causing rats. People couldn't get buried and the bodies mounted (although I didn't see that part of it). She changed all that and also gave my mum and Dad a chance to own their home. Growing up around that era taught me to respect money and people. It wasn't so materialistic then. Saying all that in the last 20 years I have seen this country go through a new change which was also needed.

 

Neither can I.

 

Nah
She'd be in her late 70s now probably
Not into grannies
Yet

 

Rooney would have her in a flash!

 

Scottish NATIONAL Party. Not quite the same thing.
