Ronald Reagan and our Maggie Thatcher....
May I tactfully suggest that it might have been that man's advisers that in my personal opinion made him the leader he was? Great orator, a man's man, someone that could listen and make correct decisions based on information supplied by those he respected.
He gets my vote.

We all seem to dismiss the influence modern US submarines now bring to the playground! Some of these evil, undetectable submersible cigar tubes are now capable of carrying in excess of
150 yes
one hundred and fifty Tomahawk missiles per submarine!! These are figures in the public domain as is the number of boats capable of carrying this number which I will respectfully suggest far exceed numbers we in Great Britain can only dream of purchasing for our own very much depleted fleet.
I accept that once the cigars have been allocated, the shop will have to close until Eddie Stobart can deliver a fresh batch of these very expensive cohiba, but all those hundreds of missiles should spoil someone's day. Then once the dirty deed is done will the road to Damascus
or should I say Tripoli
be opened? One thousand bomber raid or a one hundred tomahawk raid, is it quality over quantity?
Having said all this, I am still far from convinced we will see this Armageddon any time soon, if 'jaw, jaw' is better than 'war, war' then could the incumbent Presidents, Prime Ministers all talk that proverbial hind leg off the donkey?
