HAHAHAHAHA.lol and lefties don't think.
Now I know where your fucked up justification for Rafa's spending comes from.

Which reminds me. I watched Scarface last night. Tony Montana had the right idea when he used a manual trigger for a bomb. He was able to prevent the women and children being killed.I can see your point, and I agree that the reason for the bombing was political.
However I don't agree that the hunger strikers should have special privileges in prison because of the political nature of their crimes. Bombing is such a coarse and indiscriminate way of making a point. You can plant a bomb in any location with a target in mind, but there is no way to stop it killing men, women or children, innocent or otherwise, Protestant or Catholic that just happen to be in the same location.

But it is irrelevant. It'd be like you caring about Rafa buying one too many paper clips.
I think this thread has shown pretty conclusively that you and others simply refuse to think about the nuances of the issues, and prefer the comforting myths. Barely a response to the stuff about Wilson closing more mines, about the Tony Benn anecdote, about the offer to the miners. Not even rejection or denial, just pig headed refusal to engage. What can I do but despise what is so clearly despicable?
I think you live in your own little world Peter.But it is irrelevant. It'd be like you caring about Rafa buying one too many paper clips.

I've said something had to be done about the unions Peter - but she went too far even with that. As for the Tony Benn anecdote I really just don't give a fuck whether she cried at someones funeral or not. The Wilson closing mines thing I'd be interested in reading more. As for the so-called myth debunking from the impartial "London Loves Business" weekly - it's a lame article.
The problem with her handling of the hunger strikes was that, it is generally accepted that, she became the best recruiting officer the IRA ever had.
I wasn't directing it at you. I think you're probably the single one who has engaged.
The Benn thing I posted because others denied Spion's story about the Falklands. They get a better example and ignore it. I think that's pathetic and craven.
Peter - I'm certainly not offering any party or politician as a comparison or defense nor did I say others haven't made mistakes, I'm not banging Labour's drum. What are you saying? That Wilson's actions justify Thatcher's? That he's not getting the same level of criticism? It's not just about the pits is it?
What comforting myths are you on about? Living through it first hand? I've provided enough personal accounts of the Tories impact on welfare and social living.
We're all ignorant yet you post that £8m is irrelevant.
It is irrelevant!!!
£8m is 0.00001% of total public spending. 0.00001% of a relatively average salary of £25k is (I think) 0.25p
It is a clearly irrelevant figure.
I look forward to similarly irrelevant amounts being kindly deposited in my bank account.
£8m is 0.00001% of total public spending. 0.00001% of a relatively average salary of £25k is (I think) 0.25p
It is a clearly irrelevant figure.
And what would you spend that 1/4 of a pence on?
It would run patient family care at alder hey children's hospital for 70 parents year round & the support around that for 16 years.
It would keep 1000 women suffering from breastfeeding cancer alive by treating & paying for all their care & drugs throughout their recovery.
But yeah, it's irrelevant.
It's irrelevant because that money is already being spent on those things. Why? Because a government as well funded as the UK's will never ever be stuck for £8m. Why? Because it's an irrelevant number in public spending terms.
@Squonk Why should I? It's £8m. Totally irrelevant in terms of public spending.
How many hospitals could make good use of that money?
