Ah, Margaret Thatcher, one ugly bitch. While I must admit I applauded her regarding the Falklands (rather after the fact since I wasn't even born then but... the Falklands also showed how grand our armed forces are... or were... er...), I still hate her. I remember what the country was like in my early years (sure, a lot of them were under John Major, but he was an idiot who basically continued Thatcher's work) and that's why I won't vote conservative ever, or at least till I'm 45, (so it's Labour then, which saddens me being very much for a good, well equipped and large-ish military but them's the breaks.)

Actually, that was one thing I was shocked at during our bastard offspringsl election(they being you crazy Americans. U-S-A! Fuck off), young people voting Republican. I'm serious, what the fuck is that about? You're young, you DON'T vote right wing. It should be a written law in every country. Fools.

Anyway, Sir Mark Thatcher (yes SIR, it must be so easy to become a Knight of the Empire nowadays, though I also believe the Hellbeast Thatcher herself is a baroness, so meh) last I heard had been let off with a roughly £250,000 fine and something else(this info straight from my memory, and I can't be assed checking the BBC now, so don't think that that's what it actually is.) Not bad considering he tried to buy a helicopter for his crazy coup. Still, at least we Brits try to mount a coup d'tat the real way, which doesn't involve invading a country under false pretenses then making a grand cock up of the aftermath. Ah well.

Just to wrap it up, the street outside my college had a Glasgow city council sign outside it underneath it a European Union flag, which not surprisingly had a large red X spray painted over it, I think that just seems up most Scots' opinions of the EU.

Another unintelligible load of rubbish from the mighty, mighty keyboard of...
