Because Thatcher and The Tories sold them old and Paisley didn't like and stormed conference...........Did The Right Reverend Ian Paisley know better .............its's a disgrace. It was done to The Rhodeis ..........shafted.......... a Conservative and Unionist Government
The Unionist Community were sold out at great surprise to Dublin by a Conservative and Unionist Government. Paisley went mental. Dublin couldn't believe a Conservative and Unionist Government would do this. Shall I carry on?
I've never met a Rhodesian who does not think they were sold out and betrayed by Thatcher. Does that answer it? Have you in living in Southern Africa also then?
All and both - Shona, Ndebele and Rhodie - Thatcher agreed to anything. Blair stood up to Mugabe, she danced the dance behind him in Harare in '87. Having lived in Southern Africa, Thatcher was the great traitor out of nowhere. People hated Blair, but Margaret Thatcher sold everyone out.
I lived in Botswana for 2 years. Rhodies hated Thatcher down there, she danced with the devil - I have the residency. What do you know more than I don't out of interest though in Africa?
I don't know. Rhodesian's and Falkland Islanders, what do you think? When I lived in Africa I was surprised at the animosity toward Thatcher over Zimbabwe - hatred. The Rhodies said Blair was more forthright.
I had. We haven't got bases there though like The Dutch and The French, 'Overseas Territories' are reactive as has been proven, compared to their 'departments' system etc. Saint Martin v Falkland Islands - hmmmmmm. They sent their King and President, we sent Johnson........................ We...
We'll see if he does - personally I doubt it. Ultimately they'd be part of Tierra del Fuego now if they hadn't invaded in 1982 - Thatcher sold out on far more people - Rhodesia, The Anglo-Irish Agreement etc.
I agree it would be a betrayal of our forces and the islanders though and I agree...
