on Sunday, then I believe it will show that this country has lost any small semblance of moral decency it was holding onto. And that the heads of a national institution have let all thoughts of ethical reasoning go out of the window in favour of political correctness.

I can only hope that it doesn't make number one.

But, my God, this country has sunk to an all-time low.

Very sad.

Why is this thread still extant when the event was over and done with last Sunday?

It would be interesting to know which member holds the record for most posts deleted. grin

Eloethan Fri 19-Apr-13 08:27:58

One of the posts that was deleted was addressed to me. I did not ask for it to be deleted.

Difficult to see how that could be done, jings, other than the way it is done already. Also, I don't think we should 'pass the buck' to someone else – we should be in control of what we say on it. Mostly, we are, but there are some slip ups when people get annoyed about something. We're only human. smile

I reported the first post. I think whoever at GN deleted that one would have seen the other post and, as it was in the same vein, would have deleted that too. I think if people are going to run a website such as this, they should take some responsibility for what goes on on it.

j08 One post was deleted probably because only one post was reported by someone or even lots of someones. I dare say if you or someone else reports the second one, that will be deleted to.

Pleeeeeeease!
Can we finish this thread and move on to the future.
We ARE GRANSNET , THE FUTURE IS OUR GRANDCHILDREN!

Lets draw a line.
Return to our normal debates, discussions and zany threads.!
PLEASE.

I guess you could ignore this one gracesmum. But I agree. Done to death already.

susieb755 Thu 18-Apr-13 23:20:12

I'll agree to disagree merlotgran , everyone can have an opinion, I just happen to have very good reason to have a particularly strong one about her......

gracesmum Thu 18-Apr-13 23:18:16

Have we not had enough on this subject? Everyone seems to have had their say, vented their spleen or expressed their admiration ad nauseam at length and I do wonder why we can't move on? Alternatively could we have a Thatcher hate/love thread and the rest of us could just ignore it?

Anne Williams, Nonu was the mother of one of the Hiillsborough victims who fought tirelessly for a truthful account of the tragedy rather than the police cover-up. She was diagnosed last Autumn, I believe, with terminal cancer, but at least saw some justice for her dead son and other victims before she died.

merlotgran Thu 18-Apr-13 23:14:37

Utter nonsense, susieb755

susieb755 Thu 18-Apr-13 23:12:43

I reserve my harshness for those who deserve it ! - she wouldn't have cared what I think, she only cared about her self and her cronies

Nonu Thu 18-Apr-13 23:10:23

Crikey Susie , bit harsh .

susieb755 Thu 18-Apr-13 23:06:42

I'm with vampire queen, she was a nasty spiteful woman, and my sympathies are with her family for having to be related to such an evil wicked woman, she was vindictive and malicious, and ruined our country

Nonu Thu 18-Apr-13 23:06:41

phm12 , you say anne williams was respected by everyone all over the country, I personally have never heard of her .

may she R.I.P

"That was a horrible remark to make"

"That remark was beyond contempt"

That was what I said. I did not call you contemptible or horrible, just the remark.

I am only continuing this because I see Gransnet have deleted one of your posts and not the other. Whether that is through laziness on their part,or any other strange reason they might have, I don't know. I'm beginning to give up on any kind of sensible moderation of this site.

absent Thu 18-Apr-13 19:34:28

You did not explain j08 and , no, it's certainly not behind me because I am still very angry about being vilified in the way I have been. You repeatedly accused me of being contemptible, horrible, etc. I appreciate that Boston may not have been in the forefront of your mind when you posted your "joke" but that was no excuse for then accusing me of being to blame for your failure of awareness and decency – the latter being a subject that is, apparently, dear to your heart.

PHM12 Thu 18-Apr-13 19:31:28

I was not a Thatcher fan by any means she was a very divisive lady
The OTT reaction of the media has been has sickening.
This morning Anne Williams , one of the leaders of the fight for justice for the Hillsborough families, died.
This lady was respected by everyone from all over the country. I wonder if the media will give her death as much prominence. I think not!

merlotgran Thu 18-Apr-13 19:24:23

Oh God. Here we go again. In the words of Ringo Starr......Peace and Love!

j08 Thu 18-Apr-13 19:24:15

shock I thought all that was behind us.

I explained fully on the thread at the time. Please look my answers up as I don't think I can be expected to go through all that again.

Nonu Thu 18-Apr-13 19:21:41

Golly gosh !
