Morning.

Damn. Why can't I understand Japanese? Evangelion 3.33 is out next week in Japan, but it'll take at least 8 months more for a western release with subs and dubs.

Usually it's to make the concessions before the prisoners die.

Hunger directed by Steve McQueen chronicles the incident, it's meant to be pretty good.

Justified

The Gulf War was entirely justified and if you\'re going to illegitimise every war on the basis of atrocities then no war is legitimate.

-Supporter of the illegal war in Iraq

Fair point but she was quite ill by that point.

-Supporter of the Apartheid regime who opposed sanctions on South Africa during it and denounced the ANC and Nelson Mandela while he was in prison.

She called the ANC and Mandela terrorists, which is exactly what they were. Pretty sure this thing about her being pro-apartheid is nonsense, I skim read something about that earlier.

-Allowed about ten people starve to death instead of letting them regain their status as political prisoners

I\'ll need more information on this one.

-Friend to Pinochet, brutal Chilean dictator with thousands of human rights abuses having occurred under his regime.

Yep guilty on this one.

-Bought the Trident programme from the US, tripling the size of our nuclear arms programme which drains the economy to this day

Unfortunately that was a necessity given the USSR[/i]

I believe the ten people were core IRA members and were on hunger strike. Their decision, obviously. Not sure what the usual answer to hunger strike is.

My favourite Thatcher story is the confusion on Twitter. The hastag #Nowthatcherisdead was interpreted as "Now that Cher is dead" by so many people. More people seem saddened to hear of Cher's misinterpreted death than Thatcher's actual death. Says it all.


Well she does have a better singing voice...
