8 June 1983, the night before the General Election, Neil Kinnock, when he still had some credibility, responded to a cry of “Thatcher’s got guts” with, “It’s a pity so many had to leave theirs on Goose Green to prove it”, which chimed with the feelings of many.
That slimy flinching coward, and sneering traitor David Owen described it as, “descending from the politics of the gutter, to the politics of the abbatoir”. What a bitch.
A pretty shameful time in UK history, all in all.

Staying on the subject of fascist b’stards but bringing it back on topic, here’s a fascinating fact about Rangers. In 1883, the SS Daphne flipped on her side during the launch, resulting in the death of 124 of the workers still on board. Two of the biggest clubs at the time, Rangers & Dumbarton, played a charity match with the proceeds going to the families of the victims.
Rangers kept their share of the cash
