Barbarism Begins at Home

Mrs Thatcher, show us exactly where you were when you gave the order to sink the Belgrano.

I was exactly here. This is the chair I sat in when I decided to sink the Belgrano.

How many were killed, I forget?

Oh, let me see. Between 320 and 360 I'm not sure exactly. A triumph for Britain.

And of course for yourself.

In a way. But one must understand that Britain could not look weak in the public eye.

And it was important that you not look weak too I suppose.

But the important thing was to protect our boys in the area. That is all I cared for.

Right. Although the ship was moving away from the Falklands Islands when you ordered it to be sunk. Away from 'our boys' as it were.

Thank you so much for coming.
