Yes, you could go around in circles forever - both parties have soiled history. I'm more interested in who's going to put things right, rather than who fucked it up in the first place......... Why not concentre on the present?......
Pinochet
Major and Blair (yes, him!) deserve a lot of credit for NI.
They moved away from the confrontational approach of Thatcher - seems Grendel would have us back there...
Yes Pinochet.
South American politics has always fascinated me - especially how the various dictators are viewed by the UK and especially the ideological left.
If you actually look at his record both in terms of social and economic policy then there were huge strides taken.
Pinochet was allied by thatcher because of his significant contribution to the war effort in the Falklands. If you bother to read up on it the help was significant and potentially damaging to Chile if they lost the war.
Thatcher had no direct contact while Prime Minister - released papers prove that with no question - so actually she had no reason to get involved afterwards. So in some ways her support has to be admired following his arrest. If it was Dianne Abbott no doubt she'd have been down the hairdressers. me McDonnell would be saying sorry a lot and Mr Corbyn doing his judas act and denying any knowledge of them. Still whatever thatchers failings courage and self belief are not on that list
As for Pinochet close your eyed and imagine him with a beret or a great big cigar. There - all of a sudden he's a hero and a Marxist revolutionary.
ALL soldiers there didn't behave badly...just like only a few that shared the IRA objective actually took up armsApparently the soldiers involved in Bloody Sunday were just 'doing their job'.
Unless he was framed...he was both I guess...depending who you are and how you look at it. Close ones of the victims would automatically say terrorist & probably never hail him as a heroSo anyway.... Mandela - terrorist or hero?
Yes...Blair exported activities to the middle-eastMajor and Blair (yes, him!) deserve a lot of credit for NI.

But, I think you will find that he had a photo taken drinking a pint of Guinness once and had a nice smile and was Labour sooooo.......not guilty of anything.Yes...Blair exported activities to the middle-east

He was only a labour peer due to New Labour's obsession with courting the rich. He's an opportunist (obviously).Labour peer, quit whip when Corbyn took over.
Former Labour peer Lord Sugar is backing Theresa May this General Election
Last paragraph made me smile. The rest ideological left was where you lost me. You can't pick and choose your nasty dictators to make or break a point. I was only saying him as a point about the IRA and contact. Thatcher and Mandela interesting tooYes Pinochet.

What happened?
Just read about that. Not sure what's so outrageous about referring to notes to give exact figures. The fact that the Conservatives haven't costed anything should be of moe concern.Corbyn had an absolute mare on that woman's hour programme
Trust Corbyn/Abbot/McDonnell with the economy?
Utterly hilarious performance from our would-be PM:
Jeremy Corbyn's car-crash 'Woman's Hour' interview has undone his good campaign work
What a clown he is.
And how great it is to finally hear him questioned properly.
Well done to Emma Barnett. Excellent job.
Still waiting for someone to get May to answer a question, any question.And how great it is to finally hear him questioned properly.

Lib Dems to back a 'regulated cannabis market' in UK - BBC NewsAre any of these shit arses mentioned about freeing the weed yet?
she did answer a question on school meals the other morning and made a complete hash of the costs. Not surprised you missed it, you won't be shocked to hear it didn't get a fraction of the coverage that Corbyns child care screw up got.
Imagine if one of the leaders of the other parties had said the 'naked and alone' crap she came out with about Corbyn. There would be uproar.7p for a kids breakfast and yet no-one at the BBC gave a fuck.....
