What can TM be thinking of?

(to Jalima)

Well, we haven't had the GE yet and the maths does seem to come from the Abbot School of Accounting.


The proof of the pudding etc etc.

You complained the other day Jalima that I was upsetting you with my posts. Just look at your reply above and ask yourself why I should be polite to you?

Why not tell me what is actually wrong with the maths. It is very easy to sneer but I notice you do only that and do not give any facts.

Why don't you give it a break Gracesgran; it is really getting tedious the way you are attacking everyone whatever they say.

SAAK did not seem to be referring to the local elections in her post and whilst 'most' may be an exaggeration she was not quoting the recent results.

I thought she was referring to the local elections. Were you, saaki?

Well, if she was thinking of them, she didn't mention them.

Never assume anything.

But you are assuming that you know. Why shouldn't I?

Give it a break? I replied to YOUR post Jalima - is that now not allowed? Do we live in such a Nazi state that I may not respond to another poster pointing out the political mismatch in her positing of the size of T May's fan base and the numbers that actually, on the one occasion they have so far had the chance, voted for the Cons. That seems entirely reasonable to me and any comments about my attack on her opinion (not her) seem to be a suppression of free speech to me. This is a political thread so the likelihood is that we will hold different opinions. I have not made personal comments but challenged offered opinions, others certainly have become personal.

you are assuming that you know.

No, I know what I read in the post and am not assuming she was referring to the local elections as she did not say that.

I thought she was referring to the local elections
You thought she meant that

Mind you, saaki has definitely got the message, calling May a strong PM, but I don't think she understands the word stoic.

Yes, I thought she meant the local elections, as that is what has just happened. I have asked, so assume she will tell us eventually.

If it wasn't the locals, it could be the referendum. However, it's still not most, is it?

Well, she doesn't get over-excited and doesn't complain about her health problems, so is that stoical?

And even endured a kiss from Juncker. That must have taken some doing - what is it with all the kissing these days?

I did say that most could be an exaggeration

May does not endure pain, hardship and sorrow. She inflicts it on others, on the homeless, on the jobless, on those who are sick or working on zero hours contracts.

It really doesn't matter if she was referring to the local elections or not. They are, currently, the only actual figures that show who has come out to vote for the Conservatives since May became the Great Leader.

I don't think you know what you are posting to others GGM2 (you say above 'I have not made personal comments') ...what! you have just said to Jalima and I quote you ' ask yourself why I should be polite to you' and you go on to say 'It is very easy to sneer but I notice you do only that and do not give any facts.'
None of that is personal I suppose.
It becomes very hard for posters to stay civil when addressed in that way, so do not be surprised if you get something back.The less said about your posts to me the better!

Sorry I should have specified SAAK not 'she'.

I reply in the tone people use to me - as you may have noticed Roses.

"Well, we haven't had the GE yet and the maths does seem to come from the Abbot School of Accounting."

Sneering - I think so. Not one single fact to show why Jalima thought I had miscalculated just a nasty sneering reference.

Actually Jalima hasn't used any kind of 'tone' to you, but you feel it's quite all right not to be polite.
If you carry on the way you are going, talking to posters in such a way, then you won't mind if they talk back in the same way to you will you....or will you?
So, yes, give us a break! ( that means do stop being annoying.)

I could, of course, have been referring to Saak's use of the word 'most' when, of course, this is not the reality.
But I will be honest and say I was not.
Or Saak could have been referring to the polls where Tories have 46%, Labour 30%, Lib Dems 9% which would make most more logical.

Earlier GgMK2 you posted:
the reality that is to obvious for the half of the country that are not voting for May which suggests that half would vote for May.
And half is 50%.

No wonder I am confused and do not assume anything.

Where is that quote from Jalima. It doesn't seem to be part of my reply to SAAK.
