She did something in '82 that Prime Ministers have been trying to copy ever since! And she had the backing of the country something lacking by this bunch.
We are now bogged down in Afghanistan with no real objective in sight. The mighty Russia couldn't sort them out how the F does anyone think we can?

Not by force, by way of their will backed up by something like Nato, only it didn't exist back then like it does now, as for the Iraq/Afg thing you're correct 100%, which explains my point, don't start a war unless you are prepared to fight in it at the front, as for the Falklands, you'll just have to excuse me on that one, right or wrong I'm just still a bit sore on how Mrs T used to report to the nation on how "WE" had done this and that, when all she'd done was had a nice dinner in a warm house in London, Yomper and the boys did the doings, not an MP/PM, and it's always rankled me ever since.
Yomper is on Eastney seafront btw, it's the nickname for the unknown marine with the flag.
