#2 Obviously part of a disorganized campaign of disinformation.

Other than this, the Tories are in sad shape in England. Labour is in no danger.

#4 The "rot" indeed. May God bless her.

#5 I second the motion, Lucky. God Bless Maggie and Ronnie. Could you imagine how f*cked up this world would be if we had Arab terrorism AND the Soviet Empire to worry about at the same time?

#6 Although I haven't found an audio stream with this speech, I can certainly imagine how much contempt and scorn was poured into the word "rot" when she said it... nobody like her, not even Ronnie...

#7 Fred, I don't know why the Tories aren't banging that drum. It's astounding. They almost seem ashamed of their beliefs, obsessed with their unpopular past and trying to put across an impossible "please-all" image and as a result get across no coherent message whatsoever.

I've been watching a program on TV this devoted to the Brighton bombing (for those who remember - when the IRA tried to take her out at a party conference in '84). There are no politicians anywhere near her calibre in the UK today.
