Corbyns unknown peace prize was in the Mail today apparently. He joins a long list of people awarded peace prizes you've never heard of. Like the Confucius Peace Prize won by Mugabe.

Your comments about Corbyn are becoming sadder and sadder, Annie, and more juvenile.
I do hope you grow out of it soon.

' Like you, I am allowed to look at any thread I want to'

Correct . We all are!

We are also allowed to join in any thread conversation / post a comment when and where we want to are we not?

Looking at this thread and another it seems that some posters do not agree with that point.

I do hope they grow out of it soon.

POGS, read everything, though.
To criticise people for being political on a politics thread must seem to be a bit ridiculous, even to you.
I am sure lemon would feel happier being on more lighthearted threads, as she doesn't appear to want to say anything political.

POGS Tue 02-Jan-18 23:06:58

durhamjen

As you ask.

I can assure you I do read everything through!

I view many things as 'ridiculous' .

lemongrove Tue 02-Jan-18 23:11:47

durhamjen I certainly think that you and jura2 are driving yourselves half crazy with worries about the Government and Brexit.So much so, that you are both hounding me on GN about posting political comments.
It had better stop pronto or I shall be reporting both of you.
I suggest you get a good nights sleep!

durhamjen Tue 02-Jan-18 23:18:27

Go on, then, report us, lemon.
I suggest you get a good night's sleep, too, and decide whether you want to discuss politics or just make silly remarks.

Nobody's hounding you. Jura was asking any Tory or brexiteer to explain. I agreed, too. Nothing wrong with that.

durhamjen Tue 02-Jan-18 23:19:55

So, POGS, do you think that criticising people for being political on political threads is ridiculous?
I note you waffled on that. Not like you.

POGS Tue 02-Jan-18 23:20:28

On 2 threads!

Hmmm

durhamjen Tue 02-Jan-18 23:23:35

Don't understand what that means, POGS.

lemongrove Tue 02-Jan-18 23:27:47

This is not the thread and you are both talking of that particular thread ( so this is a thread about a thread)
And no, jura2 was not just asking, but was demanding explanations and comments in a very sarky way, just as you are doing durhamjen and making it very personal into the bargain.
I am on this thread and will discuss Corbyn if I want to without your permission, thank you.
You may discuss Mrs May on the other thread, and I wish you joy of it.

durhamjen Tue 02-Jan-18 23:34:06

You are quite welcome to discuss Corbyn on this thread, but to make untrue insinuations is not discussing.
And to tell us that we are driving ourselves half crazy with worries about the government and Brexit is not being personal, is it not?

lemongrove Tue 02-Jan-18 23:42:40

Untrue insinuations? Huh?
Oh you mean ‘merry’ grin He’s a politician, and fair game for a merry quip.
Does the cap fit...durhamjen ?

durhamjen Tue 02-Jan-18 23:52:28

You meant he was drunk. I told you he doesn't drink. You then criticised him for not drinking.
Like I said, grow up.

durhamjen Tue 02-Jan-18 23:54:16

By the way, why have you only just criticised anyone for discussing May on this thread? It's been done from the beginning, almost.

lemongrove Tue 02-Jan-18 23:58:28

Happy New Year dj....have a large Baileys.?

durhamjen Wed 03-Jan-18 00:56:12

Can't stand the stuff, lemon. Far too sweet.

"Jeremy Corbyn is under pressure to speak out about the unrest in Iran. The Labour leader has a longstanding interest in the country but has yet to comment on the protests."

An article in The Times today.

I'm sure we can look forward to a statement about ending violence on both sides. In my opinion, staying silent about world events until you are 'under pressure' to make a statement is not the mark of a leader.

GracesGranMK2 Wed 03-Jan-18 10:00:36

Thankfully other people do not share your opinion Primrose and there is nothing I can see that would make you vote for the Labour Party, so Corbyn can rest happy that nothing is lost, I feel.

lemongrove Wed 03-Jan-18 10:16:36

That doesn’t address the issue or make him a better leader.

Anniebach Wed 03-Jan-18 10:22:24

But Corbyn wants votes from Libs and conservatives , to dismiss a voter with -" nothing is lost " isn't speaking to the many not the few, and he has said he is taking the centre ground.

GracesGranMK2 Wed 03-Jan-18 10:29:20

That doesn’t address the issue or make him a better leader.

So your political, rather than personal point is?

lemongrove Wed 03-Jan-18 10:32:48

Is that your new mantra?

MaizieD Wed 03-Jan-18 10:34:26

I thought all the parties wanted to take votes from the other parties; or have I been living on a different planet for the last 60+ years...?

durhamjen Wed 03-Jan-18 10:35:16

So your political point is, lemon?
