I think this man should be chrged with extreme child abuse

I wouldn't imprison this man

I don't know the answer.

More terrified and freezing cold children on the news last night. all the s in the world.

Who are the bullies?

Neither stansgran it's a Lenin hat!?

He's a celebrity. He gets celebrity attention. Goes with the territory.

I've just had a weird conversation with someone as to whether or not Corbyn's hat/ cap is a Mao hat or a Coppola ( mafia) why do people care? but I would like to know

I could have given him some of that iron-on hemming tape if I'd known! Even DH can use it.
I prefer his new haircut (am I allowed to say that?)

I'm sure he'll get it right soon!

But he hasn't rosequartz, the Daily Wail condemn the length of his trousers at an event, seems an inch too long for the Wail

how the right went on and on about Corbyn wearing a vest

I don't think it was those on the right particularly annie who were interested in 'the vest' and whether or not he would succumb to the 'establishment way' of dressing for certain occasions - which he has

other people feel they can't join in because of their suspect (me!!) political views which seem to be greeted with howls of rage, or their grammatical errors!
It seems odd to me for one poster to pick on another poster for their grammatical errors when the critic uses, for example, split infinitives in their post.
I am not criticising anyone's grammar as I am very fond of using split infinitives myself. As I said, I just find it odd to criticise a person's linguistic abilities when one's own is not perfect.

black, pot, kettle etc

Thank you Anya, it troubled me greatly , still does

That should read 'their nasty little.....'

I never said I didn't accept your apology Anniebach I did read it a couple of days later when I next signed on but the moment had passed and I thought neither of us would benefit from resurrecting it, which is why I didn't mention you by name in my post just now.

So perhaps we should just let that drop?

What did disgust me though was those, previously mentioned 'hangers on' without an original thought in their fluffy little heads who immediately jumped on the bandwagon, and without any excuse added three nasty little condemnation to your accidental and mistaken accusation.

And those with moderate right-wing leanings, if they do post an opinion, are often accused of being on the 'far-right'!

For ehich a full apology was given Anya, that you refuse to accept it is your choice

niggly said the same thing myself many times. Then out from the woodwork pop the 'if you don't stand the heat' hangers on.

There are those on here who hold left wing views who can expres then sensibly and powerfully without resorting to personal insults, name calling and, as recently happened to me, lies and false accusations.

It's the low level of debate (if you can even call it that) that makes many of us give up in disgust. We could stand 'the heat' of a good old political ding dong, but this reminds me of the kind of garbage you hear from the likes of Trump only with a different political slant.

I'm sure you're right ab, that was irrelevant and silly, and equally off putting, but I think the far left do hold centre stage in the majority of discussions, and get the gold star for intolerance. But there you go, at the end of the day I doubt that what we think will make a jot of difference in the great scheme of things!

And from the right wing, some in the right wing ridicule and taunt and some on the left are forced to defend , so let's not have the right wing posters are victims please . Who can forget the thread where the leadership contest was being discussed , how the right went on and on about Corbyn wearing a vest , stopped serious discussions though

There are a couple of the political threads which the same two posters seem to have all to themselves. Probably for the reasons you mention, nigglynellie.

Oh I know!! I wasn't referring to you Jingle! A bit of a rant is fair enough, but surely not to the extent that other people feel they can't join in because of their suspect (me!!) political views which seem to be greeted with howls of rage, or their grammatical errors! so, all in all, you don't bother, which in turn makes for a rather one sided conversation! It's just a bit of a pity that's all!

It was only a little shout.

Of course there are not that many posters on here. While there is this awful furious bullying confrontational attitude to people who hold different views other than the prescribed far left you are simply driving other contributors away, so that in the end the few who are left (excuse the pun!!)will just agree with each other as they are preaching to the converted. Hardly a balanced conversation. I for one like to hear and be able to discuss in an interested and convivial way, other people's points of view, however much I might disagree; I would like to be able to ask someone, in a reasonable way, how and why they feel the way they do, not lay into them and accuse them of heaven knows what. I would like them to ask me the same, not just scornfully ridicule any opinion I might have because it's not a left wing one. All this rubbish about spelling and grammar is particularly tiresome. Isn't this extremely rude and taking a superior attitude to those of us who perhaps haven't had the benefit of a University Education and maybe not held down a professional job during their working years, which somehow makes you a subordinate being. Can we not have a proper conversation that everyone who wants to can join in whatever their political beliefs and educational credentials are without resorting to a shouting match?!

There you are jayh. We can see it now.

(they are down there, under the posting box)

Sticks and stones,Anniebach,
Don't be so nasty.
