Probably the best use of words in the history of DIYnot.
At last leaders with balls...

Not this one though
A bold claim from someone who 'joined' a couple o' weeks ago.
Fast reader, are you?
Probably yet another person with multiple identities
Just like Maggie and the Falklands then. And there’s us thinking you weren’t keen on her. You’re a secret fan.
Interesting that you brought that up...
Just before Argentina invaded the British government were involved in discussions around sovereignty and selling Las Malvinas...
Then thatcher saw the chance of becoming a war leader and boosting her chances of re-election, which was a successful ploy...
No different from another tory leader who called a referendum in order to hold onto power...
Camoron of course got it wrong, hence the disastrous position we find ourselves in now...
He did after all predict a war, and it looks like the seeds were indeed sown in 2016!
"According to Thatcher’s biographer David Cannadine, in the 1970s the British government’s preferred solution was a diplomatic one. Lord Carrington, foreign secretary between 1979 and 1982, favoured a ‘leaseback scheme’. The idea was to cede sovereignty to Argentina, in return for which the British government would continue to administer the islands on behalf of the settlers. In 1980 Carrington sent junior foreign minister Nicholas Ridley to present the proposal to the Falkland islanders. However, they rejected the plans. According to Cannadine, a number of the government’s backbenchers also opposed the policy, and the “leaseback scheme was quietly dropped”. When Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands in 1982, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher told the House of Commons that the Falkland Islands and their dependencies “remain[ed] British territory” and that “no aggression and no invasion can alter that simple fact”."

Too many people forget, or don't know, recent history. And it's implications.
No wonder politics is in such a state.
ITs why 3 word slogans work so well on some

This is all exactly as planned by Starmer.
Russia will definitely provoke pathetic France and the UK if we send our boy scouts there. There will be an "accidental" bombing or something, whoopsie we wiped out your army.
Start World War 3 just in time to have the perfect excuse to cancel the general election in 2029.
I'm very sure those mouthing off in favour of going to war won't be heading off into the meat-grinder, or sending their children either. Somewhere close to half a million have died in Ukraine so far, all someone's dear family. What on earth makes anyone think they're going to stop if a bunch of our half-trained snowflake army turns up?
Any peace treaty is likely to last a fortnight, we'll be at war against Russia in no time. If we bomb them, they are perfectly entitled to defend themselves by bombing us, here in the UK. We have practically no air defences, we're all sitting ducks.
This bloke's an utterly ridiculous, dangerous tinpot dictator. Parliament should have been consulted before signing anything, hopefully when we get a proper PM, I pray before this madness kicks off, this ridiculous declaration of war can be put in the shredder where it belongs.
