She approved this never-matched logistical absurdity. A preposterous swarm of bombers and tanker planes were launched to support each other so they could support a single bomber with fuel so it could poke some poorly aimed shallow holes in an airfield on some disputed rocks in the south Atlantic. The 7 "Operation Black Buck" bombing sorties burned about 1.8 million liters of fuel and risked the lives of dozens of aircrew and extremely expensive planes in order to drop a total 21 bombs (of which all but 2 or 3 missed the target runway, and the Argentinians had it repaired within hours anyway.)

The fantasy of Western air power really is the stupidest loving thing.

Infantry still have to die in droves to get anything done, but hey at least the middle class pilots get to ride their war chariots and let off their fireworks.

She had a secret meeting with Suharto about mirdering chinese commies and he jumped 10 feet into the air and unbuckled his pants and came straight town, totally vertical, and landed with his anus square with the crown of her skull and her whole head went into his colon. Then she went MMMMPH and suharto laughted and farted big, shooting back up into the sky and landed cleanly on his feet and he laughed at her. This wasnt reported in the west because it was embarassing for thatcher

When I was a teenager I had a picture of her on my wall I would look at during coitus when I wanted to delay orgasm, so I guess what I'm saying is Margaret Thatcher improved my sex life.

In America we think about baseball stats but this seems to be a wildly mor effective method than thinking about how many dingers Ken Griffey Jr hit in 1992.

Rappin’ Ronnie already had amazing kids. One daughter was in an Elvis movie, one posed for Playboy, and his namesake is on NPR and hates everything his father stood for. Whereas, if Spitting Image is to believed, Mark Thatcher was a slow adult.

Very risky. If you cum while accidentally glancing at that picture you have a high chance of becoming a thatchersexual.

She worked for Lyons whose food was always crap, and there's also no evidence she actually did anything significant on ice cream. She did co-author a paper on soap chemistry https://www.theguardian.com/science/political-science/2013/apr/09/margaret-thatcher-ideology-scientist so that might be an actual good thing.

Thatcher hosed the kids.

(that is not an example of a good thing that she did, and also it should be noted that the loving in the aforementioned comment is merely a metaphorical loving)
