After yesterday's disaster is it over for Mrs May?

maryeliza54 Sat 07-Oct-17 19:13:37

now ask yourself annie which of those since 2010 have been/ are being destroyed. Could you find it possible for example to be critical of the demise of Sure Start? Reduction in tax credits? Danger to GF agreement because of the DUP bribe? I wonder what your right wing supporters on here would say if you dared to criticise these changes?

Anniebach Sat 07-Oct-17 19:13:02

Well the far left want this thread to themselves, they can mock a woman for saying she and her husband couldn't have children, know she lied about a cold, and never ever say anything unkind or bullying, just want everyone to agree with them,

Keep your thread , there are really nice people on this forum to chat to.

I said it was for others to judge if you were an inverted snob AB. I, personally would leave out one word. You seem to have no sympathy for the poor and less abled so I can't see how any level of pretentiousness, condescension, etc., you may use to measure people and ideas could be 'inverted'. You seem to side with wealth and social status (JRM?) so definitely not inverted but I am really not in any position to know if you are snobbish upwards or downwards.

Anniebach Sat 07-Oct-17 19:09:04

Now how was I to know you had tried to make a joke GG, you failed sorry

Anniebach Sat 07-Oct-17 19:07:59

Seems some of the far left supporters have no recollection of what was achieved by the Blair government, hospitals built, schools built, minimum wage brought in, tax credits, surestart , freedom of information act, Good Friday agreement,devolution, and much more, and the only labour government to win three elections without a break. Simply because it reached all parts of the country , didn't target one section but the whole country.

GracesGranMK2 Sat 07-Oct-17 19:07:05

Well in fairness vampire queen, to quote GG, that is for others or judge.

Dear, oh dear. It was a joke ABshock

GracesGranMK2 Sat 07-Oct-17 19:05:28

AB you are not really telling me that you are agreeing with a political view - totally contrary to the party you say you are a member of - because you think those who don't, on here, are bullies (because you think you calling them names makes them bullies, wierdly).

Is this how you have always decided where you stand politically? It is a very, very, strange way to decide your principles in life. Don't the politics matter above and beyond this forum? It is very, very weird.

If all of us who have been accused of being members of Momentum were actually members of Momentum just think how big a movement it would be! (substitute Marxist, communist, Cobynite for the word Momentum as and when required)

Anniebach Sat 07-Oct-17 19:00:38

Maryeliza, GG has said it is for others to judge , you didn't disagree with her.

Anniebach Sat 07-Oct-17 18:59:26

Well in fairness vampire queen, to quote GG, that is for others or judge .

You see just how nasty some posts are,

You asked what swarm meant ? You expected a Reply? No you just wanted to join in the mocking

GracesGranMK2 Sat 07-Oct-17 18:59:20

You always pop up when things get heated

I have been busy with my family AB and only just had time to catch up. And your objection to that is ...? I had no idea anyone was keeping a register.

maryeliza54 Sat 07-Oct-17 18:58:53

I better add grin

maryeliza54 Sat 07-Oct-17 18:58:28

vampire I'm afraid with those dangerous, extreme views of yours, there is simply NO hope for you. You are clearly a closet member of Momentum who is infiltrating this moderate forum. Do not attempt to deny this again

vampirequeen Sat 07-Oct-17 18:52:44

Why are any people who are to the left of the Labour Party always referred to as bullies? Are they not entitled to their opinions? Just because we don't agree with some people doesn't make us bullies.

As for the Labour Party changing, it could be said that it is merely returning to it's original remit. Support for the a properly funded NHS, social care system, education system et al is not something that 'the far left' have suddenly come up with. The Labour Party is simply returning to what it was prior to Tony Blair and New Labour.

Before anyone asks or makes the suggestion. I do not belong and never have belonged to Momentum or any other left wing group.

maryeliza54 Sat 07-Oct-17 18:50:34

But I am utterly utterly fascinated about the concept of 'breeding' when applied to human beings

maryeliza54 Sat 07-Oct-17 18:49:26

It's not the dictionary definition of a word that proves anything as those of us with any intelligence know - it's the context and intention behind its use but I am truly bored with this silliness - ab has brought it up,on at least two threads, it's clearly getting to her. Still it makes a change from JC and JM and Corbynite and communists and etc etc etc

vampirequeen Sat 07-Oct-17 18:45:08

I simply asked for your definition of 'swarm', Anniebach but unless I've missed it somewhere you avoided that question.

maryeliza54 Sat 07-Oct-17 18:41:08

Bored

For maryeliza

Anniebach Sat 07-Oct-17 18:35:53

GG, I totally appreciate you cannot see agreeing with views of posters who stand up against the bullies in the far left is not the same as agreeing with Tory policies.

You always pop up when things get heated, do give your opinion on the definition of the word 'swarm' seems it is now a racist comment if the word swarm is used

GracesGranMK2 Sat 07-Oct-17 18:29:58

To true mayeliza - I must admit I get fed up with it.

Boris hmm has just told the Conservatives to back May and turn their attack on Corbyn. Can anybody tell me how AB differs from the Conservatives doing this?

maryeliza54 Sat 07-Oct-17 18:23:17

Add communist/Marxist/Trot

GracesGranMK2 Sat 07-Oct-17 18:20:41

Annie, I totally appreciate that you cannot see it but you agree with all the Conservative views put forward and none of the Labour ones. It is nothing to do with bullying or mocking - this is what you can be seen to do.

... and I am not a 'Corbynite' or whatever phrase you are now using to bully and mock, either'

Anniebach Sat 07-Oct-17 18:17:40

No GG, no one joins this forum to be judged, decent people allow all to express their opinions, poisoned minds sadly do not .

GracesGranMK2 Sat 07-Oct-17 18:14:07

I do think a woman or man of breeding can make a good PM

Careful AB - you will be talking about eugenics next. Not nice at all. As for

but I am not an inverted snob

I think you will find that is for others to judge.
