Who on this site voted for the Tory's in May's General election ?

I wont do it to noone else, promis, guydes honner.

FarNorth, every so often we are entertained by wind up merchants, threads on plimsolls, Vans, grandchildren's uniform mixed or single sex "bums n tums" and threads guaranteed to raise hackles Right and Left under the guise of politics

I too thought perhaps I recognised the style of Parliament 100 and make no apology for posting the only response I think OP warrants.
So be it, I can live with my conscience but to equally Frank (see what I did there? ) I do not draw attention to grammatical or spelling mistakes when I feel a poster has written n good faith. So not a total * then!

So you are the same person.

There we are!!

Error, error, error
(I am the first to admit my mistakes)

Nope, not compulsary, but proves an interest in Gnett, other than starting contentious threads.

Of course, if I make a spelling or grammatical (which I am sure I do) then please alert me to it - then I will try harder next time!
However, mine could be predictive text or fat finger syndrome

Do you mean it's the duty of pedants always to draw attention to errors of grammar and spelling?
What fun!

Is it compulsory to do that on Gransnet, even if one's only interest in life is, say, the cultivation of chrysanthemums?

Re the OP :
No I didn't. Some on Gransnet did. Yes, I know.

anniebach I don't think Questiontime is a genuine poster, just a wind-up merchant as DH would say.

Therefore I feel justified in giving like for like

Yes I see what you mean now DJ - I didn't understand your point initially.

Ah Ana, maybe that's deliberate to throw us of the scent!

as, not ass!

So probably not one and the same. I think QT may well have posted ass Parliament100 at one time though...

I've just looked back at an old 'Ivanhoe' thread, Terribull, and although his political stance is very similar to QT's he always spelled 'tories' correctly.

Do I?

Perhaps the poster isn't interested in other threads

You mean the same as Anya, Terribull?

I think there was a GN questionnaire a while back which some completed on how they voted, it was a pretty even split between the two main parties, if I remember rightly.

There were of course a lot of post election threads after the event when members discussed their reasons for voting, so this new one is somewhat passe now, as indeed is the one initiated requesting thoughts and opinions about Thatcher, which again has been discussed and picked over until there's very little to add.

QT - I'm wondering if you previously posted under the name of "Ivanhoe", he commented in a similar vein to you and his posts always referred back to the Thatcher era. Like him you also seem to be on a mission. I believe he eventually declared he was a Labour Party activist, I think he even stated he had once stood for election somewhere.

QT, if you are a genuine poster, then post things on other subjects too.

Of course people on this site voted for the Conservatives, as did those for the Lib Dems and Labour, Greens, UKIP etc.Gnett is just a forum made up of all sorts, just like the rest of the country.While you can start your own threads at any time, don't expect a lot of us to agree with you.Some will, and some won't.

However typos such as my superfluous letter in "isn't it" I shall blame on my Varifocals!!

Come off it Anniebach
"He only does it to annoy
Because he knows it teases"

If we have threads on Pedants' Corner etc lamenting spelling and grammar howlers, isn'it more than a bit disingenuous to perpetrate them?

QT you making the same mistake that so many ageist people make in that because we may be getting on in years and somewhat wrinkled that we are also losing our marbles. But the truth is that you are in danger of stating the bleeding obvious to us grans, as we have seen it all and experienced much between us.

A wee bit of growing up is in order

It may be one thing you notice but it's unkind to draw attention to a spelling error or to correct it . Suppose it makes some feel superior , pity

You did not ask generally, Qt, it was a personal question (or is that beyond your reasoning?).

Generally, I believe that Gransnetters voted right across the political spectrum.

Don't worry everyone, school starts again next week.

grumppa probably you are right, but when a grammatical error leaps off the page at you, it tends then to be the only thing that you notice.

Tories, Tories, Tories

But Qt does not listen - and indeed, why should he? He knows he is always right.
(Or left as the case may be. )

Apologies, Qt you may be female.
