I've recently heard that with the EC sanctions in place, Russia has agreed to buy food, (beef and grain) from Argentina.
But guess what the Argies want in return? I heard long-range bombers, bombs and weaponry.
I wonder where those might be used?

I would love to see her dealing with this lot of spineless PC idiots we seem to be run by nowadays.

Must admit, missed most of what was going on as i was serving in the HM forces at the time in Germany. Most stuff was dominated by the miners strike. Scargill was determined to bring down the Thatcher government, Thatcher was going to stamp on Scargill. Unfortunately the poor sodding miners got stuck in the middle. Had Scargill not been such a gobshyte i'm sure some resolution could have been found.
No doubt the mines would have still been closed down, but at least it could have been done in a more controlled manner. In my opinion Scargill made the miners plight far worse than it should have been.
So who else was Thatcher spiteful towards?

Steelworkers.
Teachers.
In fact most workers other than bankers, the police, (who became her private army), and government/council workers in the upper pay grades.
But the ones I've mentioned you can see the spite in her decisions...NO-ONE was allowed to question her ideology.

Not quite I was lucky enough to be in other employment other than mining, but I witnessed first hand what she did. As others are saying on here Scargill didn't help much, it became personal between the two, the miners didn't have much chance with those two at loggerheads.
