Flashback: International Women’s Day 1973
Thirty-eight years ago today Margaret Thatcher opined to Valerie Singleton and an audience of children on the prospects for women:
Happy International Women’s Day…

Norman Tebbit has a humble brag:
“We Maastricht rebels were derided and abused for opposing the single currency by the wise, clever, Guardianista soft centre left establishment from whom we now hear so little on the matter.”
The last Quango in Paris says:
Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
Have I beat Billy!!
Valerie Singleton! Excuse me while I get my todger out.
Morning Bill
Is that what you use to type, Billy??
If it is he’s extremely accurate.
Tuesday is his Viagra day.
Tis a fake up there, No grammer errors or spelling.
In all the thousands of posts he’s made he is bound to hit the right combination sooner or later.
There’s only one genuine fake on this blog and we all know he lives in Guildford.
A broken clock tells the correct time twice a day.
and I confirm that I have never had wanky sex with that woman Valerie Singletum.
When the clocks go back and hour at 12 and the clock is stuck at 12 then it can theoreticallly be right three times
She was never interested; her softball team were only bothering with each other.
From memory, I think she bats for the other side.
Those were the days my friend
We thought they’d never end….
Mrs T
Ladies and gentlemen. The Secretary of State for Defence has just come over to give me some very good news and I think you’d like to have it at once.
J Nott
The message we have got is that British troops landed on South Georgia this afternoon, shortly after 4 pm London time. They have now successfully taken control of Grytviken; at about 6 pm London time, the white flag was hoisted in Grytviken beside the Argentine flag. Shortly afterwards, the Argentine forces there surrendered to British forces. The Argentine forces offered only limited resistance to the British troops. Our forces were landed by helicopter and were supported by a number of warships, together with a Royal Fleet Auxiliary. During the first phase of this opinion, our own helicopters engaged the Argentine submarine, Santa Fé, off South Georgia. This submarine was detected at first light and was engaged because it posed a threat to our men and to the British warships launching the landing. So far, no British casualties have been reported. At present we have no information on the Argentine casualty position. [video clip begins] The Commander of the operation has sent the following message:”Be pleased to inform Her Majesty that the White Ensign flies alongside the Union Jack in South Georgia. God save the Queen.”
Press
What happens next Mr Nott ? What’s your reaction …?
Mrs T
Just rejoice at that news and congratulate our forces and the marines.
[MT answers emphatically then turns towards the door of No.10]
Goodnight.
[Begins walking back to the door of No. 10]
Press
Are we going to war with Argentina Mrs Thatcher?
Mrs T
[pausing on the doorstep of No. 10]
Rejoice.
Reminds what a shower of political pygmies followed, on all sides, in her footsteps.
The military has been so dissipated since, that it could never repeat an expedition of that magnitude. Fortunately, Maggie in liberating the Falklands also brought democracy to Argentina so perhaps that’s just as well.
Thatcher has never been invited on “Desert Island Discs”. Probably because she’s not a pop singer, drug addict , or general tosser.
Perhaps because her favourite pop record is “telstar”
hmmmm… did she just turn up uninvited and barge into the studio then?
I’ve been on Desrt Island Discs. It was cool!
(Waits for applause. Not a sausage.)
Harriet Harperson on women’s “equality”……
Labour have never had a woman PM, so yahboo sucks to them and all the other socialist dictators, sll exclusively male.
Her “husband” got elected as an MP on an all women’s list, is he classed as a man or a women or is she just a hypocritical two-faced cow.
All-wimmin lists are just a device for keeping out the plebs. They don’t apply to the spouses or relatives of people like Harperson.
Her husband got elected bacause they stuffed him into a safe seat. He used to be party treasurer until they ran out of money so they had to find him something else to do.
And this the party treasurer who never saw, or asked about, the money being raised from from the sale of peerages:
“On 15 March 2006, in the Cash for Peerages scandal, Dromey spoke of not being aware, despite being party treasurer, of £3.5 million worth of loans made to the Labour Party in 2005 by three individuals who were subsequently nominated for life peerages (Chai Patel, Sir David Garrard and Barry Townsley). Loans made on commercial terms, as was claimed to be the case here, are not subject to reporting requirements to the Electoral Commission.”
“Dromey was caught up in a further financial scandal in 2007 as he was responsible for party finances, which included more than £630,000 in illegal donations from David Abrahams. Dromey again claimed to know nothing of the donations, with critics wondering why he hadn’t examined the issue more closely His wife, Harriet Harman was also caught up in the affair, as her staff had solicited and accepted illegal donations totalling £5,000.”
Ideal choice as a Liebour MP then.
We always book him for his non-partisan comments about the Tory’led Coalition and their cuts against the hardworking-British people on “The Daily Politics Show !”..
I seem to recall that Cameron made a quip about him being improperly dressed in the Commons as he had been selected from officially an all wimmin shortlist.
Jack Dromey…………is a c*u*nt!
>Labour have never had a woman PM
You are forgetting Tony Blair.
I never trust people who blink a lot or close their eyes for long periods whilst speaking.
If they look insincere, they probably are.
More Harm-men than harperson.
I admire Mrs T
So do I
In my moments of lucidity
She came in whatever colour you thought – but it was always blue!
Unlike David Cameron who changes his colour as the wind blows.
He’s Brown today. It’s the right thing to do.
It all started in America.
I love Angela M as well
She and Sarkozy are both admirable in many ways.
How come then, considering they run the damn thing, the EU is still such a hateful liberal-left monstrosity?
Women have their place-in fact I see Strathclyde Police boasting about the amount of women they have recruited
Try telling that to her male counterpart on a Saturday night when dealing with a bunch of yobs who can and will size up their chances.
Its not very nice folks-but anything in the name of equality.
But is her lingerie blue or green?
Class act. Contrast with the modern nasty Harperson…
And Mrs Le Pen now coming FIRST in all the polls for the first round of the 2012 French presidential elections
President Le Pen has a nice ring to it. After all Le Pen is mightier than the sword.
That should be Le Sword
you might note that the main things she wants is to close the country’s economy off from the outside world (“unfair foreign competition”), and stop taking money from international money markets. instead the bank of france can lend it to the country. presumably by printing it.
So they’re the anti ipods and anti 4×4 party really.
North Korean Juche…
That’ll make France another “workers paradise”.
Typical socialist (of the national variety).
She doesn’t do days at the beach
and picnics does she?
Can I be PM too?
No. Lieboor and the unions doesn’t DO equlity, we only talk about it.
Prince Andrew gets into the spirit of things for International Women’s Day: http://thecurrerball.wordpress.com
Good god
He’s heterosexual
Makes me feel better
So he is! Quite a scoop there from Scurrilous Balls.
said the bender.

No one left n British politics, sadly to defend our freedom like the Iron Lady
Thatcher was my role model when I was still sane
Future Iron Lady 2?
I hope so
One of the few hopes left
In a desert full of pigmies
International Women’s day – what a lovely co-incidence with pancake day – all right thinking women will be where they should be – at a hot stove flipping pancakes – probably in bear feet.
Bear feet? Kinky.
or even bare feet.
I’ve had to bottle, I mean cancel my speech in the budget debate today. Sorry. Urgent business that needs my attention. I haven’t bottled it.
Can it.
Thanks for that clip Guido. It is a fantastic reminder of how Brilliant Mrs T was. Unfortunately it shows what a load of twaddle Govey talks.
It’s the difference between a conviction politician who is willing to defend what they believe in, and the showers of shite we’ve had since she was stabbed in the back by wets such as Clark and Heseltine.
Wets, fair word, but I always think of them as weasels.
agreed. The Rise of the Political Class.
Also interesting to note there were 630 MPs then; 650 now. why the seat inflation?
I am all for professional politicians if that is what people feel they need to vote for. But let’s see them for what thye are – spineless careerists – and limit their numbers drastically locally, regionally, nationally (commons and lords) and in Europe.
They keep moving the county boundaries. Maybe that’s got something to do with it.
If America can manage with a lot less Senators (taking into account the sheer size of the country), I’m sure we could manage with half the MP’s we have today.
Bercows half an Mp.
People have very short memories…Mrs T was an electoral disaster waiting to happen by 1989…she had outstayed her welcome in both the country and her party……the poll tax riots were a step too far and the country fought back….unfortunately the present Tory Party don’t seem to have learnt a great deal since then
Oh, the “country” fought back, did it? A load of soapy scum in donkey jackets? Power to the fcuking people, ay?
+ 1 Enjoyed that. Thanks.
you know what?
I think it would be a wonderful day if we, as a world, ever reached the time when we were all so comfortable with each other that we wouldn’t have to have days like this …. where men and women were free to be themselves and live in a beautiful world with no war and no want, where respect and dignity were the true measures of who were all are …. not money, not power, not exclusivity, not secrecy ….
BOING!!!!
still think Balls is shit though
My balls are always covered in shit.
Shut up you stupid hippy.
He’s the ghost of Louis Armstrong.
I’ll light my pipe to that Oink!
I’m better than Facher!
the commonest effects that people might notice are:
* a slight flakiness
* weight gain
* swollen ankles
* readiness to travel to other countries
* over-inflated ego
* a crazy desire to run the world
* an increase in toxicity
* the belief that you are still the same person as before
And Labour still havent had a female leader…..
Yeah well there’s Equality, then there’s Liebore Equality, the only way they could have the chance of one-upmanship (or should that be uppersonship?) is by putting Chucky “the British Obummer” umumma in charge or hoping he has a sister interested in the position which would be a 2 for 1 deal obviously!
I am the leader of Zany Zanu Labour
Hi proles. Thatcher was my hero. I believe I was a far more successful and loved prime minister than her.
For ‘successful’ substitute ‘catastrophic’.
For ‘loved’ substitute ‘reviled’.
That’s better, I think we’ve got that right now.
Certainly kicked off more wars.
I bet you this is why Gordoom’s on his way to the House, he supports International Women’s Day so much he will be having the gender reassignment surgery to show his solidarity with wimmin everywhere!
Or he might stop chuckin Nokias at them for the day…….
Looks like the Finnish Governments going to have a shortfall in tax receipts from the technology sector next year then
Dunno , still got Balls in the new bunker……
I’m willing to bet you’ve had plenty of balls in your bunker Billy.
That took place a long time ago. He has borne an uncanny resemblance to a front bottom for some years now.
And what goes in one
Very occasionally
Once in a blue moon
Yes but resembling and being as useful are two different things
Currer, apart from spamming Guido’s blog don’t you just think you’re jumping on the bandwagon with the media spotlight focussing Prince Andrew’s role for reasons best known to ex Labour ministers? You’ve probably never seen him overseas or have any idea what he does except what you’ve been fed.
Eh ?
Hack, I can’t disagree with anything that you said. Not my best effort.
Even Guido started somewhere. Nice blog layout though.
Thanks for the words of encouragement/condolence. Please do visit us again. We’ve recently gone daily (and with it perhaps a dip in quality). Do post your comments on the site (it helps create the illusion that people are actually reading it). Cheers.
Mods: Why has my post (10.14am) still got the Moderation sign? What’s wrong with it?
Guido’s modding moves in a mysterious way
Say the same thing agains twice as obscenely and it often works !
Come on Sally
Be a real slapper and show us your tits
I’ll give you 100 quid for a photo of you topless next to Squeaker
Your tits will be at the level of his head…
It’d be like watching Total Recall a Picture of 3 tit’s
Lol
On a point of Order, Mr Squeaker
Well – nothing grows in the shade, does it.
Three tits in a row then.
Lets see what’s under that bed sheet Sally.

I’ve had a very close inspection and
after about fifteen minutes decided there’s
absolutely nothing to interest Gordon Brown
or Chris Bryant
DAVID Cameron can thank his lucky stars there has been no loss of life in his Great Libyan Adventure.
The Prime Minister became the Invisible Cam yesterday as he left a listless Foreign Secretary William Hague to carry the can.
But Mr Cameron was the real architect of this desert disaster
Fake!
You can tell because he didn’t ask at the beginning “So Guido who won the caption contest?”, always a dead give away
Nah , Tried lobbying to win, didnt work. tried bribing Guido, Didnt work. only thing that is left is to try and write a funny one that might win on merit
Optimism, where would we be without it?
How many Billy Bowden’s do we have on this blog I can’t keep up, with,spelling mistakes /lack off, calling/then not calling people,if it’s one then he/she changes there minds more than rusty, if it’s more then get your own monkiers.
Eeu to me, call him legion for he is many LOL
Legion or Top Boy.
60 – Was it a disaster or are you a dickhead?
They got caught on a discreet recon job,military assessment, etc etc? who knows?
Cover story – take along junior diplomat.
Retire in one piece – no harm done.
I’ll excuse Cameron cos’ he wasn’t a MP but I seem to recall that ex-leader Hague was and the leader in 2003 IDS certainly was and THEY and the Tory party voted for War in the HoC debate and cheered Bliar onwards towards Basra and beyond….if the Tory party has had the courage to vote against the government as did the LibDems(the one and only time they ever did anything right)this country would have been spared a lot of grief….the yanks went after the wrong target and took their eye off Afghanistan as a result and allowed Iran hegemony in the region….so the Tory Party has nothing to crow about over Iraq………………..
So the Tories knew at the time that the sexed-up dossier on WMDs was fake?
From my extensive military training in the
Scouts unless you get cut and dried instructions
like ‘There they are boys, blow them to shit’
Or ‘ That’s a relic/holy place, don’t level it just yet.’
stuff always goes wrong. They got back in one piece.
Have another go next month

I see Charlies little boy Billly is wooing the Belfast crowds with his piece of fluff Diana look alike Katie, I suppose the papers will start telling us she is the new Diana, my reaction OMFG.
They’re just wowed because he is the next King Billy.
It’s not her fault if she’s pretty?
To be fair, I don’t think either William or Katie would play her up as the new Diana. The household might, but they are nobheads.
They look nothing like each other. What are you on about you fool?
We’re going down for a bit. That’s what she said.

This is a tough one, I admit. Who do you wish a slow painful cancer on more, Mandelson or Balls?
I’ll hedge my bets – Mandelson’s balls.
So when’s International Men’s Day, then?
Some would say it’s the other 364 days.
It’s a valid point, though. In the interests of inclusiveness, we ought to have a Men’s Day, as well as a Hermaphrodites’ Day and a Transgendered Persons’ Day. Why stop there? There are other groups who are routinely traduced. What about a Rude Persons’ Day, an Idiots’ Day or a Bad Drivers’ Day?
The ‘some’ you refer to would presumably mostly be the monstrous regiment of blinkered feminists who have always seemed to conveniently ignore the reality that, since humanity began, all the hard and dangerous tasks have been performed by men: hunting; working the land; seafaring and fishing; mining; building; fighting to keep safe homes for women and children. Meanwhile, women have had a really tough time of things, making and keeping homes, raising children, being provided for… and living longer.
Yes, there were lots of imbalances that restricted women and their opportunites, and yes, they can do lots of things as well as men, and no, it wasn’t all easy and comfortable for women, but there were also lots of imbalances that constrained men, too. The right to vote doesn’t seem much compared with the requirement to die in the trenches. Did women really have it so tough? Do they now?
Women have always wielded power and been effective. Ranting blinkered feminism has not improved that, but has disastrously unbalanced and damaged a social structure that worked well for thousands of years. Is society made better thereby? No, it’s been made an unsocial, divided, decaying mess, and the essential function of family has been ruined to everyone’s harm.
International Women’s Day? Pathetic.
February 29th but only in a centeniel year evenly divided by 4!
As Harriet very well knows a woman’s place is in the kitchen. Do not burn my dinner again. Silly moo.
I intend to be Labour’s first woman prime minister.

International Woman’s Day – yuck, I hate women, who’s idea was that ? Sue’s I think…
It’s unfortunate that International Women’s Day coincides with Shrove Tuesday. Celebrate your emancipation . . . while you cook us pancakes.

I was working for Ken Livingstone’s GLC when the first International Women’s Day was celebrated there.
A (male) co-worker remarked that he was all in favour of it – there should be more International Women.
