Oh the irony! grin

daphnedill Tue 16-May-17 13:50:55

I did, but I'm not scrolling back pages. Go and pick on somebody else!

Ciao!

Errrmmm...the Three Day Week was ordered by a Conservative government to conserve energy. Inflation was out of control as a result of economic mismanagement. The NUM called a strike, because their wages were falling way behind inflation. The government's own pay body reported that the miners had a case.

Hmmm! Baffling! In what way do you consider yourself a socialist?

23.07.53 your post daphnedil
Since I haven't said any insults your last post doesn't make sense either!
Instead of jumping in with both feet anytime I say anything perhaps you ought to check my posts first.

TriciaF, now I understand, yes I know members who left at that time, many came back when .kinnock and then Blair became leaders, now we are back to the seventies . Seems the three day week, strikes etc , power of the unions are forgotten , back to state controlled

Anniebach Tue 16-May-17 13:36:02

So sorry I mixed up names

TriciaF Tue 16-May-17 13:35:23

GG2 Apology accepted smile
Annie - I left the party in the early '80s, when I first thought they were starting to lose their way (remember those who left in 1981.)

daphnedill Tue 16-May-17 13:32:43

And I haven't a clue what you're going on about either roses.

Your usual insults truly are baffling!

rosesarered Tue 16-May-17 13:29:09

dd I have no idea what you are talking about or what post you are referring to.Having trawled back a bit on here, your usual insults are baffling.

MaizieD Tue 16-May-17 13:04:12

Wrong 'trisher' Annie It's TriciaF you're responding to.

I'd hate to see another pointless row starting up about who said what to who.

Anniebach Tue 16-May-17 12:51:06

Why did you leave the party trisher ? Did you not say how well the previous labour government handled the economy ?

GracesGranMK2 Tue 16-May-17 12:45:08

Sorry!

TriciaF Tue 16-May-17 12:42:15

On the contrary,GG2 - calm down! I was puzzled by it. I like Corbyn, rejoined the LP to vote for him.
His speech was excellent, just didn't see the point of the cheering. Or was that added afterwards?

GracesGranMK2 Tue 16-May-17 12:32:55

Did anyone listen to Corbyn's speech with the Rentacrowd?

Such sad comments don't do anything except perhaps make you feel clever Tricia. I think, whether you like him or hate him you are really living in unreality if your think he needs such a thing. Sad, sad, sad.

I will now read all your posts as if they are not based on reality.

TriciaF Tue 16-May-17 12:00:43

Did anyone listen to Corbyn's speech with the Rentacrowd? I'm not sure where or when it was recorded - probably at a Yorkshire University. Just heard it on LBC.
I honestly don't think that's the way to influence people to vote for him. Could be wrong.
Husband says T. May will use the same technique - I'm not so sure.

Anniebach Mon 15-May-17 23:21:55

Wrong, I am a socialist , I am not a Corbynite , two different political loyalties

daphnedill Mon 15-May-17 23:14:54

I've seen enough of your posts to know that that you're no socialist.

Anniebach Mon 15-May-17 23:11:03

Why would I Daphne?

daphnedill Mon 15-May-17 23:09:41

Anniebach I hope you've got the Prosecco on ice for the anti-Labour win.

daphnedill Mon 15-May-17 23:07:53

No, they're not all personal opinions, roses. Some of us seek the opinions of others and try to understand what's going on - for the good of the country and everyone living here. You should try it some time. Life outside your bubble might be quite enlightening.

If you know anyone who rents and has moved since the referendum, make sure they are eligible to vote. One week left to sign up to it. Apparently there are about 2 million voters who have moved since then.

John Crace calls her Maybot all the time. Lots of links to him if you look for them.

Of course, now she keeps changing her mind, with her ephemeral ideas, I hope he changes it to Mayfly.

Take a hot water bottle, it's a bit nippy tonight.
