Â raises an important question. just because someone is close family or a friend, would you turn a blind eye to whatever they did? tricky one. Â for me, the answer has got to be no.

redrobbo   10 #20 Posted December 11, 2006 Good to have the BNP viewpoint supporting dictatorships..............again.  ..... but no surprises there!  Lady Thatcher has tonight expressed her sympathy upon hearing the news of Pinochet's death. She didn't express a single word of sympathy for the many victims of his brutal regime, which included the torturie of a British woman.  ..... but no surprises there either!

Â What exactly was this help that Thatcher likes to go on about? The only event I am aware of is that they allowed a helicopter to refuel (and later be dumped) on their territory. Is there something else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
