The Fall of Fallujah

To "al-Qaeda".

Further comment would seem superfluous.

But Saddam, you will recall, had "attacked his own people", even though the Kurds and the Marsh Arabs were not in any meaningful sense his people at all.

Whereas in both ethnic and more purely sectarian terms, almost entirely White British and disproportionately Methodists, were the miners into whose villages it is now a matter of record that Thatcher was planning, until dissuaded by John Redwood, to send troops in order to open and set fire indiscriminately.

The Police were already doing much the same thing on her orders, in return for vast additional wages. But they did not have military resources. Well, 30 years on, where are both the Police and the Army now? Where will they be once Thatcher's Children have done their worst?

And all to deliver a programme of mass pit closures that she flatly denied existed at all. But that mass destruction was real.

Unlike Soviet funding of the NUM. There was no such thing according to Gorbachev, who would have known. But he indulged her by letting her pretend to have "stopped" it.

More than suggesting that no one in Moscow ever took her seriously. She was just a kind of batty aunt. Another of her dwindling supporters' myths about her bites the dust.
