Both are important.

If you can see this, it might help to relieve some tension.

Quite therapeutic, I found.

I enjoyed that...thanks for the link janerowena

Thanks for the links, dj. I've read them both. The first is a little more informative than the second. Most of what the second says is also said in the first, though the second also mentions another, quite separate court.

While I don't claim to understand all the issues in detail, it does rather look to me as if we don't need to worry that our human rights will be eroded away by this government. The issues are complex, even to lawyers, and I think that will necessitate slow change, if there is any, in very small steps. Time will tell.

Crossed posts, janer. I'll read your link now.

Or maybe I won't!

A reasoned post, thatbags, but not one which will cut much ice on here, I fear.

If our human rights aren't eroded away it will be because it will prove impossible to actually come up with a legislative solution - good article in today's DT by a barrister - can't do link

After how the election turned out, compared with what was talked about on gransnet, I dont think this site was influential!

How do you know, soon?
Do you know how many Gransnetters there are and how we all voted and where we all live?

In the grand scheme of things, and bearing in mind all the left wing things that were talked about, and bearing in mind the result, well there is no more to say really.

From having a brief look at chat forums on the internet, there are a large number of them, mainly hobby ones. Male groups as well as women groups. Gransnet is but one of many.

Soontobe, as you regularly ask questions of other contributors, I hope you won't mind me asking you a question.

Are you really the innocent abroad you present yourself as here?

I dont mind you asking me questions.
I am what I appear to be on gransnet.
I know quite a lot about some subjects, and not so much about others. I thought that was the same for most people in life, but perhaps not.

Which bits do you think I know a lot, and which bits not? Is that your actual confusion?

Or is it a case of you are surprised what I come up with?

Ah I get it. You thought that gransnet was a very important chat forum.
Have you seen how many others there are.
If you put in any hobby for example, under the sun, and put chat forum after it, up one will pop.

Not to mention Facebook groups and twitter.

How to divert a thread is something at which you are quite accomplished, soontobe!

I belong to Ravelry as well.
I haven't looked much recently but I don't think they discussed the general election to a great extent on there.
I wouldn't have thought most hobby forums would tbh

I apologise if I have diverted. I never meant to.
This is indeed an important topic.
Sorry. I will need to pay more attention to that.

Oh dear, another example of stating the @*#*@ obvious.

But I would be careful of surfing chat rooms indiscriminately, you never know what you might land on!
(Anybody remember the Yamaha site of Withany's sorry tale? )

soon Are you really the innocent abroad you present yourself as here? as Iam64 asked?

Or are you really a journalist trying to get grannies and grandads to divulge their innermost thoughts?
