Argentina did not loose the war, that's what Brits don't understand, a facist dictator lost the war. You see, in 1982 my family and the entire country was at war with an Argentinean dictator, when suddenly Margaret Tatcher, an unp

It was more a feeling of revenge than liberation. In 1982 my family and the entire country was at war with an Argentinean dictator, when suddenly Margaret Tatcher, an unpopular Prime Minister at that time, instead of de-escalating the situa

Why drive thousands of vans around the UK, hire contractors and spend tax payers money, when the government can ask Sky and Virgin to provide them with a long list of households that are paying for cable tv (~30 million)? It makes you wonde

What kind of connection do you have? Because I live in a rural area, have slow internet connection and the only site I’m having difficulties navigating is Gmail. Also, the new UI is a complete UX disaster.
