Yes indeed. I was no fan of Thatchers government but she did do a few
good things.
One was the Falklands , the other was smashing the militant unions.
Unfortunately
as with weeds, you can burn them, poison them, dig them up, but they
always
come back eventually if you stop paying attention. And thats whats

1 fact about the Falklands now is that it has one of the biggest forces
base outside the UK but the Falklands Island Government makes the UK pay
to keep them there, they charge rent to the people who are there to
ensure there freedom!
