Oh dear...

Having recently been to two funerals of friends who were younger than me I do feel priveleged to be here at all, having lived more than seventy years in a peaceful and prosperous Europe, thanks in partto the EU.

I feel very sad at the thought thag my grandchildren may not be so fortunate.

I didn't read it all Ana, got the urge to yawn and yawn and yawn. So we all have privalaged lives ? Wonder which month I had mine

I must admit I had a 'what???' moment when I read that GGMk2 thought you lived a privileged life Annie, but then she rambled on to say that we all live 'privileged lives' who post on here - i.e. we're not starving and can obviously afford to idle away our time looking at the internet...

Naturally Eeleothan, did you not read I live a privalaged life, which must be true because GG said so. We of privalaged lives tend to vote Tory

Aw Rosesarered, Shami was in the Lords in two months, surely my efforts which will have brought about a Tory victory - because of that bloody cap- will be enough to have me in the New Years honours list ? I have influenced the undecided voters here to vote Tory, and managed to get centre and left of centre labour voters here to vote Tory and this will bring about a Tory victory.

If there us a low turnout because of heavy rain that too will be caused by me.

The one above all reproach and without sin is Jez

anniebach She certainly should do for services to the Conservative Party.

ab your medal could be a long time coming,

Thanks for the information about students and the postal voting Daphne and the link Jen. Link has been Facebooked and is already being shared.

Wonder if May will put me forward for an OBE for services to the world of politics

-- ditto --

Oops, I did it again!

Gransnet political threads - required reading before entering the voting booth!

ps I was only saying ditto to the first sentence of norose's post as I doubt that the present Labour leader and his shadow cabinet could get us out of a paper bag.

Yeah - Gransnet is the go-to site for the movers and shakers in influencial circles. Mumsnet probably has more influence!

Jalima ,you are so mistaken, my posts are going affect the UK posters and cost labour the election. They will be badly affected by my posts on that hat according to one . Bit confusing because I am swaying the country to vote Tory with my monotonous posts , not forgetting I need to shut up and grow up

I think the days of doggedly voting for ones favoured party have gone, our country is going through a particularly difficult time , & I am sure we all want the best for all of us, but we really do need to think carefully about who is most capable of doing this.

Labour - in it's present form -
to get us out of a mess. You mean the likes of Diane Abbot et al! Wake up and smell the coffee folks.

Unless we are more influential than we think Jalima ( strongly doubt it though)

Oh, someone already said that
norose ditto!

People will read what you write and be put off voting for Labour
I hardly think there are that many people who will be influenced by what a group of grannies post!

Hopefully and it will not be the Tories, as they have created this mess we are in now.

Daphnidill, Do you really believe other gransnetters would be put off voting for their party of choice because of reading articles posted on here. People will hopefully vote for the party they think is best suited to getting us out of the mess we are in at this present moment in time.

Hopefully Labour will have a credible Leader in five years time.No party should really have more than three terms in office.

It hardly matters what anyone is voting, as we all know who will win this time around.

Ohhps sorry spelling mistake. THEIR party of choice , sound better
