So those of us in the No vote poll on GN,May be having knock on the door anytime now ...

I'm sure he's relieved about that...! tchgrin

Both MPs I've had since then are voting against. I am relieved about that.

I fully expect that the vote will go the Governments way tonight.

Ana Wed 02-Dec-15 22:10:00

Of course it will, but that won't stop the finger-jabbing on here!

Well it's funny how quickly some can 'ditch' their opinions of people I guess. It was poor old Betty Boothroyd not so long ago wasn't it!

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Alan Johnson's words though , perhaps there was nothing to argue about because he was right.

durhamjen Wed 02-Dec-15 22:16:55

You seem to have a thing about Alan Johnson. Any reason for it?

Who's ditched their opinions? I do not understand.

Nobody is "finger-jabbing" - just expressing their huge doubts about the plan to take British bombing into Syria. We all know which way the vote will go - there would not have been a debate at all if there had been a possibility of it not going through - that does not stop people from having genuine doubts about whether this is the right thing to do. i do not think that it is.

Sorry, I don't understand that statement, Luckygirl.

durhamjen Wed 02-Dec-15 22:28:48

It's true, Ana. Cameron said he would not have a debate until he was sure of winning it. He's been saying that for a while.

I was thinking the person who did the most finger jabbing was Hilary Benn.

Ana Wed 02-Dec-15 22:31:08

Ah, yes, I get it now. Sorry Luckygirl I think my brain is rather tired...smile

POGS Wed 02-Dec-15 22:32:18

Luckygirl

One would think he made the comment from experience.

I havent read threads today.
I havent even read this thread properly.

I think it was wrong behaviour of DC to call the no vote people "terrorist sympathisers [no idea if he has apologised for this or not].

wish my niece hadn't telephoned me to ask what would cure thrush
Didn't you know that yogurt is a significant code word annie?

Anniebach Wed 02-Dec-15 23:34:08

No rosequartz, oh well jailers here I come

Anniebach Wed 02-Dec-15 23:37:20

Well, seems the labour MP's who voted Tory either stood against Corbyn or had put their favoured candidate forward

POGS Wed 02-Dec-15 23:41:27

For goodness sake Anniebach you are dragging the barrel if I have understood your post and are suggesting they voted just to get at Corbyn.

Ye gods .

durhamjen Wed 02-Dec-15 23:45:26

I don't think she's the first one to suggest it, and she will not be the last.

POGS Wed 02-Dec-15 23:53:17

Stating the proverbial bleeding obvious there Durhamjen , abusing them didn't work so I guess a conspiracy theory is all that's left.
