  1. Thatchers Children

    To save hi-jacking the Brexit thread I thought people might like to explain who they first voted for and why. Lets keep it to your personal reasons so no need to repeat to many grand and well covered anti Thatcher rants etc. I had left school in 1981 so my first vote was for Labour in 1983. If...

  2. Today's debate - former 'war hero' gets 15months for owning a gun

    Too harsh/too lenient/just right? The amount of people going crazy about this seems completely out of kilter with my view - he owned an illegal firearm, his SAS past is irrelevent (except for the fact that he's a highly trained killer, someone I'd rather not have an illegal firearm). Anyway...

  3. The Falklands.

    Things could start hotting up out there. The Falklands or Malvinas as the Argies call them, 310 miles from Argentina, is under increased threat again after oil and gas was found through drilling. The thing is, the last time the Argies moved on the Falklands we were a much bigger in military...

    Debt Collectors

    When I got back from the Falklands I received a letter from a company called Buchanan Clark and Wells (Debt Collectors) on behalf of Scottish Power saying I owed money for a property I lived in when I wasn't living there. I spoke to them and then spoke with the relevant party to email them...

    Poor old Sean Penn

    Only 3 people voted against in the Falklands referendum, with a 92% referendum. Falklands is British. :thumbsup:

    "Don't blame the British people.We know the islands belong to you"

    That's what Morrisey thinks about The Falklands,following on from Roger Waters.Looks like pop stars are leading the way,where the politicians fear to tread.I happen to think they're right.Over to you. http://gu.com/p/35qnc

    Sean Penn on the Falklands Islands

    "Last year I went to Falklands. Before the British showed up, it was a happy place. They had flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles."

    Brian Hanrahan & Anthony Howard

    I saw a couple of items on Monday that both Brian Hanrahan & Anthony Howard had both passed away. Hanrahan veteran BBC correspondent and famous for his despatches from the Falklands. And Howard long serving editor of the New Statesman and IIRC Observer, he was always wheeled out on election...

    The Falkland Isles

    Well, it seems that there are currently rumblings in the South Atlantic over the British owned and inhabited Falklands, so what does everybody think? Storm in a tea cup? Will Argentina invade? Will Brown lay out a welcome mat? For what its worth I think the Argies are currently testing the...

    Can't think of a title for this, but theres a question in the post.

    I might be wrong, but I seem to remember a while ago there being a teddy bear or other similar item SUFC related getting sent round all the exiled shrimpers to have a photo with it, and see what obscure places we can get pics of it... get what I mean? Anyway, I'm off to the Falklands for 6...

    C2C problems.

    I was on the 6:39 from Benfleet and was diverted to Stratford because of an unexploded German bomb so expect delays. I am quite shocked because this act of agression has come completely out of the blue like the Falklands. It's a shame because people were starting to trust the Germans again...

    The B.N.P.

    So, they have done extremely well again this year, coming 5th in the london Mayoral Vote. But do we really know the truth about the B.N.P? Have you actually read the manifesto and mission statements? Ok, so they are a bit far right of the middle, but they want the best for this country. In my...
