Forgot about the poll tax and all the riots....riots all over the place in the 80's...and the poll tax riots. I had friends injured after peaceful demos at anti poll tax demonstrations...Thatcher's police state...how could I have forgotten.
WE should all remember the poll tax and the riots.

WE do remember the SCUM and great unwashed who rioted against a lawfully elected Gov

Peacefull demo SUNSHINE your having a laugh.

And you give a clip showing ARSON.... so the police started that fire.

One big difference between this war and the falklands was that Argentina were the aggressor in Maggies war - she didnt engineer with them that they would invade the falklands...we did iinvade iraq this time round and it wasnt to liberate another country....you cant compare the two
