Another missing poster

There was nothing funny being said about Rayner.

Oh, I don't.
I think it's old fashioned and misogynystic.

And nasty and judgemental. I cannot think of any occasion when it is appropriate. Especially when used to describe someone that nobody on here knows.

On the subject of AR, Nadine Dorries has leapt in to criticise her for dancing on holiday. This from someone who ate an ostrich anus, on TV, while a serving MP.

People in glass houses spring to mind.

I could cope with Sean Bean any day of the week.

Hands off he’s mine! 😁

In terms of insults, an ex-neighbour called the three year old son of another ex-neighbour a guttersnipe! Could that be used to describe a man?

Someone once called my 13 month old grandson 'a thug'.

Sean Bean? No thanks. I'd rather stick to Mr A.

I don't know your Mr A but so would I!

Sean Bean has never appealed to me at all.

MissA I agree with your posts It got horrible and not about her trouser suit at all that’s down to personal likes and dislikes the things said about HER were disgusting

I agree with posters who say that the things posted about Angela Rayner were disgusting. It's not about personal likes and dislikes it was about people being rude, crude, and snobbish, not a good look.
Being likened to a tart is offensive whatever way you want to dress it up.

Still, the posters concerned were posting for weeks after that, so I doubt they were banned for that.

What was said about Angela Rayner was vile

Terrific! Love it!

You're right.
I'm sure it's the old "I speak as I find" issue.

And mine! The thinking woman's bit of rough.

Hoi! Are you saying I'm not a thinking woman? I can assure you I am. I'm just not a fan of Sean Bean.

HPQ Nor do I understand. There are a few who often remind us of how successful they've been and I find the constant repetition a bit boring. However, it is easy to skip over those bits.

What I do find irritating are those who venture to go on to N & P and then complain about being "showed down" by others. The N & P forum is bound to attract strong opinions and it is sometimes necessary to have a thick skin.

Those who use the remaining forums as well as N & P are usually thoughtful, kind and informative in their responses.

Finally, I would prefer if posts were not removed, unless it is at the poster's request.

I agree, I would prefer that poster's nasty comments were left for all to see and judge.

Having skim read the thread, u have 3 random comments

I can't see there is anything wrong with commenting on being politically aware and having an opinion of a person's clothes. I am a woman, I can multitask.

It is sad that hokes go over some people's heads but that shouldn't stop us taking jokes. Maybe the person perceiving something as an insult should hold fire and try to consider whether it may have been a joke.

And, I've forgotten what my 3rd random point was.

Agree, just cos a few don’t get jokes or any kind of humour doesn’t mean it should stop.
I would further say that any posts disliked about any subject at all are simply that, disliked, but that’s just too bad, if it isn’t a racist remark or personal attack on another poster and therefore subject to deletion then posters have to toughen up and realise that if they’re offended, well that’s it they’re offended.

Have you seen Sean Bean in the past in uniform as Sharpe?
Cor!

It is gnhq who decide what and who to delete, for the umpteenth time.
Do you honestly think any one member here has the power to make gnhq delete sooner because they cantankerous a joke?!?

I agree, Oreo. But the offended posters have a right to say so. People can't expect to be offensive and not be told. I wouldn't ban people for very much at all, but nor do I think people should have free rein to say what they like, and shout down anyone who disagrees.

Ignore that.
It doesn't even make sense to me.

They cantankerous a joke Miss A?
I will try and make a cantankerous joke but need time.😄

The site is for everyone, regardless of whether others like them or not.
It isn't for the elite few to be given free reign to say what they want, however they see fit.

It's sod all to do with jokes or humour, or news and politics.
