Labour MP's harassment

It is acceptable if it's the truth Anya , the night you ridiculed me I was exhausted, I typed troupes not troops, an error which could have been ignored , you chose to ridicule

Gilly disillusionment is a hard pill to swallow isn't it? You ought to live where I do and see the corruption in local Tory-led government.

You're probably correct, it does cut across the political spectrum.

Personally I think its just sad to deliberately point out someone's spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. Pathetic even. Unless of course the mistake makes a serious post sound really funny, in which case fair game

Really Annie ? Are you sure that was me because I think you're mistaking me for someone else.

You need to get your facts right before you make rude remarks.

Sadly you are right Anya. I was young still am and really thought that "the Labour party stood for me and my way of life" How wrong I was.

In fact Annie as so many people appear to be condemning me out of hand, would you please post a link to that. If you are correct I will of course apologise, if you are wrong I'll expect the apology.

And before anyone leaps to assumptions, it wasn't me either!

I think this must be a thread within a thread. I'm easily confuddled though.

We do know how far the line has been crossed and it has been going on for a while certainly during the Labour Leadership election up to now.

Some MP's have been threatened with deselection if they do not back Corbyn , pictures of dead babies and messages of you are a warmongerer, a terrorist with blood on your hands have been received and death threats have been reported.

I think that is most definitely crossing the line.

I have to go out now. I'll tag this thread as 'watching' and ge back to it later when all my duties are done.

Whilst presumably Corbyn didn't sanction the bullying mollie, nevertheless it's within his party.
There are bullying tactics on both sides, truly unpleasant and puts MPs in a very poor light IMO.

But we know that MPs are self-serving and truly unpleasant, don't we? The half-decent ones get over-looked or are labelled cranks...

I am one of those unfortunate souls for whom a spelling mistake negates anything sensible or interesting which the poster writes. I think it's like a form of dyslexia for me. I don't even read posts where there is a mistake in the heading but I don't think I've seen anyone comment either.

Really Stansgran?

As the mother of a dyslexic I find this highly insulting to those with a real disability. Would you for example make the same remark about someone who was blind?- oh I can't bear to look at that I suppose it's the same as being blind- I don't think so. Hidden disabilities are not something that should be treated so lightly either.

Read stansgran's post again, Trisher. I think she is saying that it is as though she has dyslexia, and seeing mistakes makes it difficult for her to read any further.

But that is totally different to really being dyslexic and being unable to read or write without a great deal of effort. In fact the poster making the errors may be dyslexic. As I said it is a disability not a choice. Saying a spelling mistake negates what someone says isn't acceptable criticism.

Just watching tv interviews now, Labour's John Mann complaining about the Socialist bully boys, Stella Creasy had to leave the Commons during the debate to cope with her office staff who were being sent horrible abuse.Some woman from the Walthamstow Socialists is also on, saying that she and others will do what they can to get her reselected ! unbelievable.So much for a free vote, they only believe in democracy when it suits them, what a shower these people are.

Well I'm back now and still waiting Annie ....

It was not Anya that made a remark about your wrong spelling anniebach. I have a good memory for some things, and can tell you that you are wrong.In any case, why go on about it? you did a wrong spelling, somebody pulled you up on it, so what, we are all grown ups ( presumably).
I do hate all this victim stuff, for no good reason.
In any case, I doubt that you make as many typo's as I do.

Trisher perhaps I should have said phobia. I was using dyslexia as an example of spelling disabilities . It is something which bothers me considerably.

Obviously some are not grown up enough to admit they made a mistake and apologise for what was a particularly nasty and personal post, roses...

Then who was it rosesarered ? If not Anya I want to apologise , I couldn't care less if told I have made a spelling error, this was different , two were involved and a third asked for the bullying to stop

When I read the thread again and see I made an error I will apologise , rosesarered will surely advise which thread so this can be cleared up

if my MP had voted for the bombing I would certainly be asking that she fully explain her views and possibly pointing out that she failed to represent me properly
But they are not just representing one constituent.
