              Hi Kandy,

              The choice was between Tony Blair and John Major not Margaret Thatcher.

                My apologies @Anthony Rogers i did say my memory wasn't that good at remembering exact details but you mentioning John Major jogged it a bit.Wasnt MT stabbed in the back by her own kind and ousted out hence Major getting in,another one who promised the earth and spent more time knocking off Edwina Curry (she who said that all eggs contained Samonella:snorky:)

                I honestly don't think we will ever have a leader in any of the parties that are interested in the people,much too busy looking after their own family and friends and lining their own pockets with gold:sad:

                    I think he spent more time at the Cricket Pavilion than he did at No.10 and Parliament, Kandy. He was, in my opinion, a very uninspiring and disappointing Prime Minister, who did nothing and was a bit of a non entity. His supporters point out that he was the Prime Minister during the longest period of economic growth.........but I don't think any of his policies were responsible for that.:dunno: Maybe, I'm being bit harsh but I can't think of any period during his time as Prime Minister where he really stood out as a Leader of note.:doh::snorky:

                      That would be when the Financial Services Authority, a government body setup to effectively monitor and police financial services organisations like banks, turned a blind eye to banks doing high risk lending, including 125% sub prime mortgages. Or put another way, under Bliar and his successor, the banks went on a massive gambling spree. It looked to the stupid like it was going to last forever, but of course it couldn't, and the bubble eventually burst.

                          I think the gloves are coming off.
                          We are about to see the side of the EU that we have always known was there, but they pretended wasn't.
                          It's going to be "them and us" from now on I tend to think.

                            That's a shame, but I think you're right. It would have been nice if all sides could be a bit mature about it all, but no. It seems not. It seems everyone is going to take their ball home.

                              I'm sorry Clueless but I don't get your reasoning behind your posts.

                              Where are the " threats "....

                              They aren't threatening us at all, we knew it would cost us heavily to leave even before we voted.
