What an awful post * Dibble*

I hope enough people report it.

I'm amazed how many GNs know everything about the relationship of people they have never met, they can even predict how long that relationship will last (do they know next weeks winning lottery numbers too). Still I suppose it makes a change from attacking Harry and Meghan.

Do not report Dibbles post, leave it for all to see along with the other vitriolic and nasty posts.

Kandinsky Sun 01-Mar-20 13:58:52

So many bitter and nasty people on here.
I’m actually quite shocked.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 01-Mar-20 14:04:32

Kandinsky Unfortunately I am rarely shocked by anything posted on GN nowadays.

Greymar Sun 01-Mar-20 14:05:22

Where are these bitter and shocking posts?

Manmar2 Sun 01-Mar-20 14:06:30

Well said Maddyone. An excellent post.

Firecracker123 Sun 01-Mar-20 14:29:08

Greymare better to be silly ? than bitter and nasty.

GardenofEngland Sun 01-Mar-20 14:35:51

Wow so now we decide who can and when they can have a baby if they are in government. He can support his child, maybe focus on all the ones who can't and expect us to support them!

Carrie Symonds was a victim of John Warboys, gave evidence in court which helped with his conviction.

A strong brave women.

blueskies Sun 01-Mar-20 14:51:56

Another b*****d in No 10 then. Good career move Carrie Symonds. Wonder if she washes his trousers as he is said to go "commando".

GrannyGravy13 Sun 01-Mar-20 14:57:58

You think that some posters have sunk as low as possible and then along comes blueskies

maddyone Sun 01-Mar-20 15:02:06

It’s truly unbelievable GrannyGravy. Why would anyone speak in such terms about an unborn baby?
And the comment about the trousers is base, from a grown adult too.

maddyone Sun 01-Mar-20 15:03:49

What do people get out of such comments?
Dislike the politics, fine! But some of the comments on this thread are at the playground level.

GardenofEngland Sun 01-Mar-20 15:05:32

Goes to show age does not stop you being rude and stupid!

GagaJo Sun 01-Mar-20 15:10:23

Don't be such a hypocrite Kandinsky. You're prone to vitriol yourself.

Ah, the Boris babes are out in force today. He can do anything and you lot will defend him. But if anyone had suggested pre-election about the stuff he's done/not done, there would have been howls of 'rubbish'.

Labaik Sun 01-Mar-20 15:12:47

'Goes to show age does not stop you being rude and stupid!'...totally agree. I mean, Johnson is 55. You'd think he'd've learned how not to be by now.

Kandinsky Sun 01-Mar-20 15:13:10

Yes that’s true GagaJo.
But thankfully I’d never call an unborn child a devil or a bastard.
I have standards.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 01-Mar-20 15:13:32

Gagajo I am not a Boris Babe, just find that some of these posts about a first time mum-to-be abhorrent.

trisher Sun 01-Mar-20 15:14:49

maddyone the blog is from 28th Jan 2020, so hardly out of date. You can read it here www.conservativehome.com/platform/2020/01/harry-benson-number-10-needs-a-family-policy-unit.html
Of course divorce happens. But hopefully and ideally it happens in a reasonable timetable where one relationship does not overlap another. And a good father supports and protects his children which it's evident, from what his children have said, Boris hasn't done. What you are in effect saying is that it's OK for a man to lie and cheat on a woman and then discard her for a younger model as long as he has the cash to do it. It's also Ok apparently for a man to use his position to pick the women he uses. Really I am shocked that anyone should support a man like this. You do realise he cheated 3 times during his second marriage and his wife took him back? All I can think is that having voted for him you now feel a bit of an idiot and have to make excuses for him.

GagaJo Sun 01-Mar-20 15:17:09

Fair enough Kandinsky.

I think MOST of the comments are about Boris being a feckless father actually, GG13.

Some of those about are on point tho. She WAS accused of theft/over claiming expenses.

Being pregnant doesn't help working 'first time mums' if they commit a crime. Plus, pregnancy isn't an illness.

Rosina Sun 01-Mar-20 15:27:48

Well this has certainly been a lively thread - with some less than lovely comments. GrannyGravy, I too thought comments couldn't sink much lower, but they can!
It seems that a private life can't be had if you work in the public eye - and let's see if we can find a faultless politician, or indeed a faultless poster, as a glowing example to us all. Well said maddyone.

Greymar Sun 01-Mar-20 15:34:36

There have been some awful comments about politicians from all parties. My feeling is 'What next?' The whole edifice seems to be crumbling. Old fashioned, but BJ and his partner not have had a small wedding, moved in and had a baby?

AGAA4 Sun 01-Mar-20 15:38:05

I was completely underwhelmed by Boris's news. More important things going on at the moment. I love babies and wish much love to this new little one, however.

BlueBelle Sun 01-Mar-20 15:51:30

Oh my word this has got nasty all I ll say is I know what all the Boris fans would have said in droves if it had been Corbyn having a child with a mistress, oh my word the air would have been blue That man didn’t breathe without being called everything under the sun and I wasn’t a fan but his treatment was atrocious as was Diane Abbott’s

I ve got nothing against Tories I have a good friend a local councillor himself who also doesn’t have any good words to say for the present crew
I have nothing against the new baby I feel sorry for it, I have nothing against Carrie at all BUT I do think he has rubbed the electors nose in it he’s been ‘missing’ for some time, didn’t go to visit the flood victims , obviously has no plans to take to the EU, has a huge shake up going on with a Priti Patel but has time to think of his own personal relationship, so at best very bad timing
