Re: Hooray,Maggie Lives Again !
There are times when every nation needs a strong leader, one who is prepared to make tough decisions unpopular though they may be.
Right now that is what the UK needs, hope she is as tough as she sounds.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Wow Louis ! I read the Daily Mail ,amongst a few others, and don't recall seeing that,so I have just been in to see my newsagent and asked him to send me in future,the special 'under the counter ' Spies Edition of The Mail which contains ALL the scandal,true or otherwise wrapped in plain brown paper of course.Before he agreed he asked me to sign The Official Secrets Act and flash my 007 junior agent replica badge. I proudly mentioned that I had serial number 007 stamped on the back of mine .I was so deflated when he told me they all had number 007 on the back of them....
Anyway on seeing my disappointed face, especially a few minutes later on further hearing my Spies Edition application for my favourite Mail was declined-apparently I didn't have enough Spy Points- he reached below that wonderful deep counter and brought forth in his grubby, hairy-palmed sweaty hand a copy of ....Ta Da! the Daily Mirror Special Report Edition,ingenuously wrapped up in a Beano cover. Deep Joy !
He winked theatrically at me,making me think does he know something about me?,- My name is Gulliver for God's sake not Rolf Harris-,and told me that normally that particular edition of the Mirror was reserved only for people whose first names started with L. One look at page 4 and there it was.Shock Horror ! Not only did the headlines proclaim that back in the day we British had had a Corrupt Politician in our midst-it was the Iron Lady,the PM herself. Almost dizzy with disbelief that Louis was right,and that I would publicly have to apologize to him on site,to the whole fraternity,and by extension the whole world who avidly read our beloved site, that I was sorry for doubting him. Then....Just in time ,I saw the arrow directing the reader to two-thirds down page 7,(just below the Tenor Pads three-quarter page advert which depicted a joyously carefree laughing lady,) where a disclaimer read. "Please be aware that no report has ever reached us concerning the corrupt activities of Hilda Margaret Thatcher.The report ,which we thought would delight our readers has no basis whatsoever,and should not be taken as gospel by our sadly dwindling readership.Like many a newspaper, your Daily Mirror does not let the lack of truth get in the way of a good story".......Coffee & News.gif
Then in an advance forthcoming flyer-"Coming Tomorrow in your exclusive Daily Mirror--now down to an astonishing 3 pence-- 'Who is the Real Jeremy Corbyn? Why did the Labour Party choose him to be Leader?
Diane Abbott-Me and Jeremy ,and Secret sex-life revelations of Angela Eagle in the London Zoo Aviary.Don't miss it!"

Re: Hooray,Maggie Lives Again !
I believe that Corbyn and Diane Abbott had a two year affair together.
She obviously has no taste.

Re: Hooray,Maggie Lives Again !
There was a certain lady named Curry, as we are now on the subject of taste, John Major was very fond of curry.
Of course the Tory faithful will be unaware of this also.

Re: Hooray,Maggie Lives Again !
While you are in a listening mood Google Al-Yamamah arms deal. The idiot son, Mark made £12 million from this, arranged by his mother.
She had previously involved him in a huge deal with Oman with a company called Cementation.

Re: Hooray,Maggie Lives Again !
Live and let live that's always been my motto. #24. Was that affair Brian, Sexual , political, or back to back or head to toe. As regards taste in other descriptions I remember a Canadian French Chief Steward, telling me, once you got past the smell you had it licked. I think I have learned more sexual deviations in my life by just reading the newspapers. Was born and remained chaste until papers started putting all these acts of fornication in print, obviously was born too soon, and missed out on a lot. Maybe might have the luck to come back in the next life as a rabbit. Believe they are all now rid of the mixamapotus or the rabbit pox now. JWS

Re: Hooray,Maggie Lives Again !
I am not of any party faithful.
I just do not like any Politician, at all.
So I do not follow any Political Party Line, I think for myself, not to be told by a political leader how to think as he does.
If I do not like anyone I will tell them, I am Not a blind follower of any Party, If I do not like what they are doing I write letters to them telling them. This year, 18 letters to Cameron, 8 letters to Corbyn, plus to many others. I have only had one reply and that was from Cameron. all the others ignore them.
A lot of people say,` I vote Labour because my Dad voted Labour and his Dad before him, and I swear by Kier Hardy`s Cap I will always Vote Labour.`
I learned to be more critical.
Cheers
Brian
