Rather pay than give in

I think the hysteria is spreading, all this nonsense about travel insurance....we have always had to get detailed travel insurance, especially getting older, with ongoing medical problems.Not that many of us will be doing much globe trotting until Covid is under control.
I do wish posters would stop making up problems and lashing out because they are so angry about leaving the EU.
Things won’t be the same, deal or no deal but to spread nonsense about travel ( never go anywhere again! Aged parents never seeing family! Travel insurance too expensive! Etc etc) is simply ridiculous.

Thanks Elegran

I've heard the term used on GN but never been interested enough to find out until now.

Trying to contribute, is just a waste of time. I too thought it is all becoming a bit hysterical.
Even if you post something which you think makes sense and is accurate, it's disregarded!

In mitigation, it was not me who mentioned hysteria in the first instance.

It is a discriminatory description.

What is Gaslighting?
Gaslighting is psychological manipulation that makes the recipient question their feelings, instincts, and even their sanity. It is one of the worst forms of dirty fighting, and it is used by both men and women. Gaslighting includes a variety of techniques, such as:

Pretending not to understand when you do.
Labeling your partner’s thoughts as crazy or imagined.
Questioning the other person’s memory of events when they remember correctly.
Pretending to forget what actually occurred when you actually remember.
Denying promises that you know you made.
Trivializing the other person’s feelings as being too sensitive when their reaction is somewhat normal.

On this thread? ? Never!!

Fanny by Gaslight was a completely different film, with James Mason, Phyllis Calvert. Stewart Granger, Jean Kent, (and John Lauriefrom Dad's Army as a brothel proprietor) - but same year 1944. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPOaSfH2TwY

lemongrove & Marydoll unfortunately reasonable posts do not get answered.
If you have something positive to contribute it doesn’t get acknowledged.

I live in hope that we can move on post Covid and Brexit, to continue in this way will not be productive or healthy.

That may be why I was confused.

GrannyGravy, also if you contradict some of the inaccurate posts.......

Marydoll

*GrannyGravy*, also if you contradict some of the inaccurate posts.......

Agreed ??

I'm somewhat bemused by all the hysteria about "British Warships being sent to sink EU Trawlers!";"Gunboat Diplomacy! "Not in my name!" etc etc. The RN's Portsmouth-based Fishery Protection Squadron is actually one of the most long-standing units in the Navy. Even Nelson served in it, for pity's sake! These Patrol vessels will be deployed to do no more nor less than they have been doing this year, last year, the year before and so on - ensuring that fishing is carried out safely and legally in UK (other than Scottish) waters by British and foreign fishing boats with the appropriate licences. Calm down everyone...

Thank you Bodach - calm and reasoned and informative.

Bodach ?

Exactly Bodach calling these vessels gun ships is borderline mass hysteria.

Fish finger sarnie anyone? With a glass of
True enough Daddima ( about Naval fisheries protection)
But the truth isn’t always wanted by excitable people.

I remember the "Cod Wars" when Iceland again expanded her maritime exclusive economic zone, this time to 50 miles

lemongrove I do like a fish finger sandwich, granary bread and homemade tartare sauce, hits the spot every time!

What a posho you are GG13.... I douse mine with tomato K.
?
Although I do like granary bread.

It's just not the same with gluten-free

Completely agree about the hysteria

Granary bread you say Lemon? Don't know if that will be available post Brexit........? runs and hides......

Haha, then let them eat cake!

lemongrove

Haha, then let them eat cake!

Yeh!!!

And as it can’t be brioche what would you suggest?
Eccles cake?

Supermarkets already showing shortages despite trying to stockpile upon the advice of BJ. But don't let that get in the way of project fear gaslighting.

As long as the usual ostrich subjects don't start bleating about hardships later.
