What can TM be thinking of?

Yeah of course she is. That's why most of England will vote for her in the election, we like her due to being weak.

The German papers are spot on.

Davis - incompetent
Boris - embarrassing buffoon
Fox - fraudster (where is he anyway?)

I keep hoping that if May wins by a landslide that she'll sack the lot of them and find some half-decent replacements, but I'm not holding my breath.

Im glad you're getting your information from the "german papers" as they must be so accurate at the moment

Half decent replacements would need a coalition, daphne.

Ukip have decided not to stand against Boris.

Coalitions don't work The more I come on these threads and the more I read I get to realise that "armchair" politicians are pretty flaky. Thank god none of you are actually in the government. You're like little annoying buzzing flies that won't go away and need to be swatted. You can't actually get over yourselves and come together as a nation at all.

Why are you like this?

I did say I'd stay and be annoying. It's obviously working.

Its fine jen, we all have to put up with something that's annoying in life, with an occasional swat, it's never perfect.

How do you know none of us are in Govt?

we are not antagonising the EU, purely wanting to leave. The more we state what we are going to do, the more bullying threatening tactics come to the fore which shows fear and weakness. Its a classic example of what dictators do.

why would I care welsh wife?

You have a strange idea of who is doing the bullying, saaki.

No not strange at all. Are you deflecting jen?

stillaliveandkicking, I'm a May supporter but try to keep an open mind regarding others' opinions. Its not necessary to be so unpleasant to other Grans even if you don't like what they are saying.

Jane that's exactly why some people come on GN, or indeed just anonymous forums in general

Always seems to be the same people though. Wonder how they get on with others in real life? Sweetness and light? Hmmm dubious. Or maybe they feel they can only unleash their dark side if anonymous.

Sad really

Jane it was kind of you to make that comment but quite honestly it's just feeding the beast.(As ironically of course does my post). As for the ones she usually attacks, I honestly don't know why they bother to response. We should just have the MN biscuit to use or just put yawn or sigh after her posts.

A yawn would be so useful Rigby (What is the MN biscuit, please?)

TM knows exactly what she is doing.
Yesterday, I had the local weekly delivered. There was a four page wraparound, Theresa May for Britain, strong and stable, etc., important Brexit message on the back, the rest attacking Corbyn.
Why yesterday? Local elections, of course.
I hope it gets looked into in terms of election costs.
It's nothing to do with local elections or the general election. It's a presidential advert.

Apologies for this. Worth reading even if the words do make you feel screamingly sick.

dj You say the paper delivered was a weekly, therefore presumably it is delivered the same day every week, so the fact the wraparound was delivered the day before the local election has nothing to do with the local elections. If the usual delivery day was Friday, it would have arrived a day too late for those. Of course it is in relation to the GE, I would anticipate your local Labour party are considering something similar or another kind of mass leaflet distribution

The day OF the election.
There are five weeks until the general election, so it could have been delivered next week, to be more useful.

Like I said, it would be interesting to see where the cost of this wraparound comes, because the local Conservative candidate is not mentioned. It is all about Theresa May and Brexit. Nothing about the Durham election.

Has anyone else had one?

The article about the reasons for using 'strong and stable' is interesting Jen. The Masters my daughter is doing is Organisational Behaviour - it just goes to show that what can be used for good can be used for evil too.

I wonder which would be the very best words Labour could use to show what the Cons stand for - what is the antonym of evil?
