If you were Prime Minister what would you do!

I would bring back Capital Punishment, build more prisons, have zero tolerance for certain crimes. Get rid of Human Rights Bill so illegal immigrants can't hide behind it.

Is it a crime to read the Daily Mail Greatnan ? then I am guilty too and I think tattoos are common. It takes all sorts to make a world, don't be so judgemental.

Greatnan Wed 11-Apr-12 12:14:11

I take it the word 'judgemental' is used pejoratively. How can you have an opinion on anything without making a judgement.
I am extremely judgemental about racism, sexism and homophobia. I am not accusing any member of GN of being guilty of those attitudes.
It is not a crime to read any particular newspaper, or to hold views about the value of that publication.

If I was prime minister I would go and have a nice, very long, holiday at Chequers and be waited on hand and foot by the staff, while I had all the garden to myself. And they would light me lovely log fires in the evenings and clean the grate out next day.

Aaaah!!!

Dream on.

wotsamashedupjingl Wed 11-Apr-12 12:15:44

And sod the rest of the country. smile

Greatnan Wed 11-Apr-12 12:16:42

And what would you do, seriously, jingle?

wotsamashedupjingl Wed 11-Apr-12 12:17:52

That IS serious!

And it's all you're gonna get from me to argue with. smile

Greatnan Wed 11-Apr-12 12:19:28

Argue? Moi? You must be thinking of a different Greatnan. I just engage in debate.

SOOP Wed 11-Apr-12 12:30:46

Greatnan grin

Another happy day on Gransnet! I love dropping in to find Jingle gently winding people up, Greatnan arguing debating serious issues, Glass cajoling us to eat properly, Bags popping in to philosophise and retreat to the garden and cubs duties, and Annobel smoothing troubled waters.

Where else would you get this brilliant mix of wise and wonderful women? smile

SOOP Wed 11-Apr-12 12:49:04

Carol I agree. We are wonderful, witty, warm and wise. wink

wotsamashedupjingl Wed 11-Apr-12 12:56:29

How did that happen?!

tongue down throat emoticon (is what I meant)

wotsamashedupjingl Wed 11-Apr-12 12:57:19

Actually, I meant finger down throat emoticon! grin

I'm going outside now! grin

wotsamashedupjingl Wed 11-Apr-12 12:58:14

That's quite funny, when you click on that blue "emoticon" there!

SOOP Wed 11-Apr-12 12:59:13

wotsama

I was being flippant. Are you losing your sense of humour or wot? confused

wotsamashedupjingl Wed 11-Apr-12 13:06:07

No. Group hug. smile

SOOP Wed 11-Apr-12 13:12:55

wotsa I wanna vomit 'emoticon' suggests otherwise. There you go, as they say. Perhaps I'm feeling ratty thanks to jippy swollen leg syndrome.

Greatnan Wed 11-Apr-12 13:17:49

Soop - that sounds really painful - are you having some treatment?

SOOP Wed 11-Apr-12 13:18:37

We all have our 'off days'...hmm

SOOP Wed 11-Apr-12 13:22:29

Greatnan thanks. It's just that the post hip-op is telling me a thing or two. Leg is tight-swollen and many colours of the rainbow. I know from experience that with each passing day I shall get better and betterer. smile

And meanwhile our dear friend jings will continue to lob in her little grenades wink.

(the person who coined that can own up if she likes; I'm not telling!)

Carol Wed 11-Apr-12 13:32:16

Me??? I don't know WHAT you mean Bags! Yes, but I prefer Jingle's mixed up emoticon of tongue down throat any day! The mind boggles! grin

That made me giggle sunshine

wotsamashedupjingl Wed 11-Apr-12 14:00:26

I didn't say "wanna"! I'm far too posh!

wotsamashedupjingl Wed 11-Apr-12 14:00:43

smile

wotsamashedupjingl Wed 11-Apr-12 14:01:49

Carol throat down tongue would be even better! [boggle]
