Well, I might have a discussion about letting my neighbour rip up my border fence so he can build a wall. If I come home the following evening to find the footings are laid before I have given express agreement - I'd punch his lights out & make him put the fence back!

I recall the good AND the bad associates with her reign. Always thought she was a great leader in so much as she took some pretty tough decisions on some things which needed to be made...& did her upmost to see them through. Whether liked or not - PM must be a "no win" job & all those that try...

I don't know if we did or not...Saudi's have lauded it up though on more than one occasion - so just selecting ONE (though I'm sure there would be more) to use as argument is not quite fair. What I'm saying is ALL governments do that for what they see as a benefit to their own country.

I checked & edited my post on that one as couldn't trace it - I remember reading & having some discussion about his involvement at the time...but retracted the comment - although he has widely been acknowledged as being/supporting terrorist activities

Btw the Chile example? That's unfair...successive governments have ignored various wrongdoings in other countries simply because it suits OUR country at the time. Look at Saddam Hussein...Taliban to name but two recent high profile ones.

I've edited the original comment invovling a bus as I went to check the accuracy of such a statement & couldn't (in the time I took at least) - so I retract that & just leave it as follows... If I remember right - Mandela has been widely acknowledged as a terrorist...but I guess there will be...

I guess you'll hate Blair even more then? He took this country to war for someone else's popularity!!! The Falklands was a British territory occupied by someone else...will you welcome the Romanian gypsies into your garden to settle there when/if the floodgate opens?

She did some very good things in some people's view & terrible things in others. Whatever you would like to believe she would never got anything done if he had not listened. Those she listened to & followed their advice just don't shout about it...

Well that is not entirely true. He motivated by abject fear. Maggie didn't.

That's...interesting. Your first statement is probably untrue, & is simply your opinion stated as fact. Second point - she heads the guts to stand & fight to pretty much the bitter end. Not many others do that! Like her politics or not - she was a fantastic leader IMO

I think it was more a case of setting an example...tone it down (the "up the workers" socialist approach) & do what's best for the greater good (kinda socialist approach really?)

...& arguably, ultimately the Miners Union destroyed the mining industry, & so on & so forth...Thatcher is simply just like any other PM in so far as they are the easy target to blame.

"Haskell can sign a couple of players in the summer release high earners and get pretty much guaranteed success with this team in one season."...this here "pretty much guaranteed success" is referring to what exactly? What would constitute success? Ffp rules will limit such investment so none of...

Hmm...railway...delay...SHOCK???

...I've been in similarly "privileged" positions & I know how it can beat you up inside - & coming out publicly stating that as you have gives you much more credibility. Well done you!

Then surely it cannot have board representation???

Wrong. Not anti-trust...not convinced. It has a very strong NUM flavour from what I have gathered so far. Initial intent - great...longer term - questionable. What is so different about these fans trusts? Some have had a good effect on the general running of the club & the fan's experience...so...

I think it should just be all puke. A non-specific colour with carrot & pea etc. flecks in it :-)

The point is that to be truly representative of the fans - ALL fans should have equal opportunity to vote if they wish. Not pay to join the trust so that the trust board can then decide who represents everybody on the board. The club can & should be able to set this up quite easily. Then only...
