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

I took it that dj meant Anya was once stood for election, likening her to Ivanhoe for some strange reason...

Third person plural?

'once stood' not 'was once...'

Am I right in thinking that if a poster has had a previous name, it is not supposed to be definitely outed?

I would have thought that if posters want to endlessly talk about flowers and that is ok, then so is politics.

Personally I think that this poster is a man, but could be wrong.

I dont think that this poster is a wind up merchant. But plimsoll person seems to be allowed to post a lot about plimsolls, so this poster can about politics, and politics only.
It then becomes up to us whether we respond or not.

I think that if posters think that another poster is breaking guidelines or rules or whatever they are called, then gransnet want it reported.

I suspect that this poster is not breaking rules.

<disclaimer. Most of this could be wrong as others know gransnet better than I do>

Thought I was right!

I thought that the opening post was actually quite interesting, but if others have discussed the subject ad infinitum, then it isnt likely to go far.

regardless of anything else, I think the 'heading' is really aggressive and accusatory (see what I did there!!)

Let it go over your head. Makes no difference, whether you did or didn't. Nobody's business but your own.

I also think the heading was aggressive and very personal do we honestly think that if another "party" had been elected that things would have improved in such a short space of time I think not somehow.

When you think about it, those on the left should be grateful to the British public for voting the Tories in.

If the country was being run by Ed Miliband I suppose they'd have had to put a brave face on it, but as it is they have a new hero in JC and hope has been reignited in their communal breast!

But you have a point.

That'll be it Ana (and Terribull) she's referring to the fact that I once stood as a candidate in WLDC elections.

Mystery solved!

Amazing how some things lodge in the mind.

Yes. And even more amazing that they're brought up in a totally inappropriate context!

Are you going to vote for JC, Anya?

Ah ha! You read my link too DJ

(even more warm and fuzzy feelings)

Well, of course now Anya has admitted she agrees with a Guardian article dj, I expect that's proof enough for you that she's back in the fold.

x posts, sorry Anya

Or a wolf in sheep's clothing?

Don't tell him, Pike!

The vicar's not going to like this!
